TechRiseUps Autonomous AI Editorial Engine I Built and Operate

A production AI content-automation engine that researches, writes, reviews, and publishes SEO articles on its own — with real citations and a strict human-grade review gate, not a content farm.

Project overview

TechRiseUps is a tech-media platform I designed, shipped, and run myself. It researches winnable keywords with DataForSEO, drafts long-form articles with Claude, generates on-brand hero images with gpt-image-2, then passes every draft through a strict AI reviewer that returns PASS, FIX, or FAIL before anything goes live. Publishing is fully API-driven — a token-scoped ingest endpoint means new articles appear with zero redeploys — and it runs two tracks on one codebase: editorial content and money (affiliate) comparisons, each with its own structured data and internal linking. It's the same research-to-publish, E-E-A-T-conscious architecture I build for clients who want content — or any repetitive workflow — running on autopilot.

The challenge

Tech publishing has a brutal math problem: ranking content needs real research, original writing, citations, and constant refreshing — and doing that by hand doesn't scale past a few posts a week. The cheap fix, spinning up a content farm, gets you de-indexed and earns nobody's trust. I wanted to prove a third path: a site that publishes like a small, credible newsroom but runs almost entirely on automation. The hard part was never generating words — it was generating words good enough to survive a strict editor every single time, with real sources, a named author, and an E-E-A-T posture Google actually rewards. If you want content, or any repetitive workflow, running unattended without turning into spam, book a free call.

What I built

Built the full platform on TanStack Start (React 19) with PostgreSQL on Supabase as the system of record, deployed via Docker/Dokploy on a VPS
Engineered a token-scoped ingest REST API with two separate Bearer scopes — one that only writes drafts, one that publishes live — so pieces publish on demand with zero redeploys
Packaged the writer and editor as reusable Claude skills: a research-to-draft pipeline and a separate strict reviewer, so each role is isolated and swappable
Ran two content tracks on one codebase — editorial (news/how-to/guide) and money (X-vs-Y, alternatives, best-X affiliate comparisons) — with their own routes, schema, and CTAs
Wired DataForSEO keyword research into the pipeline so it only chases winnable, intent-matched topics instead of writing into the void
Built the reviewer as a machine-readable gate: every draft is scored on a 6-dimension rubric and returns PASS / FIX / FAIL, and only PASS is allowed to publish
Added gpt-image-2 hero generation against a fixed brand image guide, served through a DB-backed media API so every article ships an on-brand image, not a stock placeholder
Pinged IndexNow on publish and generated sitemap, RSS, and llms.txt so new and refreshed URLs reach search engines and AI crawlers the moment they go live
Designed a multi-locale (i18n) architecture — per-locale article rows sharing one slug, locale-prefixed routes, and translation scripts — with English and Arabic live and more languages staged
Shipped a protected admin (15+ modules: articles, comparisons, automation telemetry, analytics, taxonomy, sources, newsletter, affiliates, API keys, translations) plus a VPS cron that drafts, reviews, publishes, and reports pipeline health to WhatsApp, with a GSC/GA4 analyst that turns Search Console data into a prioritized action report

The engine isn't a demo — it's live and publishing. The review gate is the whole product: if a draft can't survive a strict editor with real citations and a named author behind it, it never goes out.
