For anyone who runs a blog, there's a familiar friction. The joy of writing is often buried under the chore of publishing: formatting text, finding and uploading images, setting the featured image, choosing categories... it's a grind. I started wondering: what if I could automate the entire process?
What if I could create a digital assistant that acts as my ghostwriter, artist, and publisher, turning a simple idea into a live blog post with zero clicks?
That's exactly what I built. This Python script is an end-to-end content automation pipeline that takes a book title and, a few minutes later, publishes a complete, beautifully formatted post directly to my WordPress site.
The AI-to-WordPress Pipeline
This isn't about creating static files anymore. This script interacts directly with a live, dynamic CMS. It's a true "set it and forget it" content engine, powered by a few key components:
- The Writer (Google Gemini): I give it a book title, and it writes an engaging summary for the post body.
- The Artist (Google Imagen): It takes the same title and generates a unique, high-quality book cover image.
- The Publisher (WordPress REST API): This is the magic link. The script authenticates with my WordPress site, uploads the generated image to the Media Library, creates a new post, sets the featured image, and hits "Publish."
From a Text File to a Live Post
My only job is to maintain a simple text file, `book_titles.txt`. When I run the script, it's a sight to behold. It processes a title, and I can watch in near real-time as a new image appears in my WordPress Media Library, followed moments later by a brand new, fully-published post on my blog's homepage.
The ability to scale is mind-boggling. The effort to create one post is the same as the effort to create one hundred. This is a game-changer for affiliate marketing sites, niche blogs, or any content-heavy project.

This project showcases a practical, powerful use case for modern AI and APIs. It's a complete workflow that automates the tedious parts of content creation, freeing you up to focus on the ideas. I've made the full code available on GitHub for anyone to explore and adapt.
