PipeWise uses LLMs to turn plumbing subreddit posts into content

The PipeWise content engine transforms a plumbing subreddit's raw posts into valuable blog content. It scrapes posts, enriches them with a local Qwen2.5 model for tagging, and stores them in SQLite. The system then clusters user questions using an all-MiniLM-L6-v2 embedding model and ranks these clusters based on frequency, evergreen potential, answer gap, and seasonality. Finally, it uses Claude to generate blog posts, video scripts, and FAQs from the top-ranked clusters. AI

IMPACT Enables niche content creation by automating the process of identifying and answering user-generated questions.
