Motia Social Media Content Automation Platform
An AI-powered content automation platform that converts long-form articles into high-quality Twitter threads and LinkedIn posts using event-driven workflows and autonomous content agents.
Project Overview
Social media content creation is repetitive and time-consuming for writers and founders. Motia was built to fully automate content repurposing by transforming articles into platform-optimized posts using AI-driven workflows. By handling scraping, generation, scheduling, and payments, Motia eliminates 'writer's block' and ensures a consistent online presence. Users can focus 100% on their core writing while the platform multiplies their reach across Twitter and LinkedIn instantly.
System Architecture
Motia follows a step-based, event-driven architecture. The React frontend triggers workflows through APIs. Each backend step emits and listens to events, enabling decoupled processing. Authentication, content generation, and payments are isolated services that communicate via the event bus.
React Frontend
User dashboard, authentication flows, and content submission UI
Motia Workbench
Central workflow orchestration and event handling engine
Scraping Service
Firecrawl extracts clean markdown from article URLs
AI Generation Service
OpenRouter + GPT-4o for platform-specific content creation
Scheduling Service
Typefully API integration for drafts and publishing
Auth & Billing
Apex SaaS Framework with PayPal subscription enforcement
Implementation Details
Code Example
# Content Generation Step (generate-twitter.step.py)
from motia import step, StepConfig, Context, emit
@step(config=StepConfig(
name="Generate Twitter Thread",
subscribes=["content.scraped"],
emits=["twitter.generated"]
))
async def generate_twitter(ctx: Context):
content = ctx.data["markdown_content"]
response = await openrouter_client.chat.completions.create(
model="openai/gpt-4o",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": TWITTER_PROMPT + content}]
)
await emit("twitter.generated", {
"thread": response.choices[0].message.content
})Agent Memory
Event-driven steps allow the system to recover gracefully from failures. If LinkedIn generation fails, Twitter content can still be delivered without interruption.
Workflow
User submits an article URL via the dashboard
Firecrawl scrapes and cleans the article
AI generates Twitter and LinkedIn content in parallel
Generated content is validated and formatted
Drafts are sent to Typefully for scheduling and publishing
