Developer builds AI SEO tool Minineo

A developer built Minineo to automate the painful, manual process of creating SEO blogs, landing pages, and social content. Existing AI tools felt fragmented, so the project started as a personal workflow solution. The goal was to go from a keyword to published content with minimal manual intervention.

The system uses a staged approach: intent-first planning, strict structure enforcement, and server-side usage limits. The architecture relies on Next.js and Supabase, with AI models handling only generation, not business logic. Treating content as data rather than prose made the output predictable enough to automate publishing.

Media handling proved more complex than text, requiring a separate post-processing step. Early mistakes included overengineering the UI and letting AI decide structure. The key learning was that strict prompts and building in public yielded better results than seeking creative freedom. Future updates aim for smarter media enrichment and stricter validation.
