Copywriter

Copywriter is a very niche program to write complete articles (including images!) for a Hugo-based site. It uses GPT4 to generate the article content and sdxl to generate the images.

You can tell copywriter to write a blog about a specific topic by passing a title to the write command:

> ./copywriter write -o . "Why investing in DogeCoin is a great financial decision"
[*] Title: 'Why investing in DogeCoin is a great financial decision'...
[*] Generating image for query 'a happy investor viewing a rising graph representing the increase in value of DogeCoin'...

Copywriter will create a new slug-like directory in the out path you specified and write all of the content there.

You'll need to populate a few environment variables before running copywriter however, including your OpenAI API Key and replicate API Key:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-################################################
export REPLICATE_API_KEY=r8_#####################################

I put this in a file called .env.local, and just use source .env.local for my local environment

If you omit the REPLICATE_API_KEY, image prompts will just be scraped from google with mixed results.

Usage

Usage: copywriter <flags> <subcommand> <subcommand args>

Subcommands:
        commands         list all command names
        flags            describe all known top-level flags
        help             describe subcommands and their syntax
        write            Write a post

Top-level flags (use "copywriter flags" for a full list):
  -config=: copywriter config file
  -custom=: custom prompt
  -image=: image style appended to image prompt
  -trend=all: trending category
  -trend-topic=trends: topic type for trending category

As stated before, the write command will write an article using a provided title, or if one is omitted a title will be generated based on Google Trend data. For more info about the expected configuration check the copywriter.ini example in this repository, any configs in the provided config file (eg. the file passed to -config) will overwrite any passed command line arguments, so be careful.
