Overview

Unable to extract content from the video in this environment.

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npm installed
• A Vercel account
• OpenAI API key
• A project in Next.js (or a similar framework) as shown in the video
• Vercel AI SDK installed (version referenced in the video)

Step-by-step instructions

1. Create a new Next.js project or use an existing one as demonstrated in the video.
2. Install the Vercel AI SDK and OpenAI client libraries as shown in the video.
3. Configure environment variables for OPENAI_API_KEY and any Vercel-specific keys.
4. Implement a server-side API route that uses the Vercel AI SDK to call OpenAI for marketing content generation.
5. Build a simple UI to collect inputs (product, audience, tone, length) as in the video, and call the API route to generate content.
6. Add prompts and prompt templates (for headlines, social posts, and long-form content) as demonstrated.
7. Deploy to Vercel and test the end-to-end flow.

Tips & gotchas

• Keep API keys secure; do not commit them to source control.
• Tune the model temperature and max tokens to match your content length needs.
• Validate generated content for brand voice and compliance.
• Consider adding rate limiting or caching if you expect high traffic.
