Automating Content Generation with Google Gemini AI and Laravel

In this article, I'll walk through how I built an automated content generation system using Google's Gemini AI, Laravel, and HTML-to-image conversion. This system generates vocabulary posts with just a single word input, complete with definitions, translations, examples, and visual elements.

Architecture Overview

The system consists of three main components:

1. Gemini Service - Handles AI content generation

2. Posts Service - Manages post creation and publication

3. Admin Interface - Provides a user-friendly management dashboard

Gemini AI Integration

The `GeminiService` class handles all interactions with Google's Gemini AI. Here's how it works:

The service is structured to generate comprehensive vocabulary posts with the following components:

- Word and its Arabic translation

- Phonetic pronunciation

- Meaning and usage

- Synonyms and antonyms

- Example sentences (in both English and Arabic)

- Custom SVG icon

- Merriam-Webster dictionary link

- Engagement question

- Social media description

Automated Post Creation Flow

The PostsService orchestrates the entire post creation process:

1. Word Selection

2. Content Generation

The service calls Gemini AI to generate structured content for the word, including translations, examples, and social media formatting.

3. Image Generation

One unique feature is the automatic generation of post images from HTML templates:

public function generatePostImage(Post $post): void

4. Social Media Publishing

The system includes automatic publishing to Telegram:

Admin Interface

Admin Interface

The system uses Filament Admin for content management, providing:

• Post creation and editing
• Image preview functionality
• Publication status management
• Bulk actions for post management

The admin interface allows for both automated and manual content management:

Image Generation Process

The system converts HTML templates to images using the following process:

1. Renders a Laravel blade template with post data
2. Sends the HTML to an HTML-to-image API service
3. Downloads and stores the generated image
4. Attaches the image to the post using Laravel’s media library

Conclusion

This integration showcases the power of combining AI with Laravel to automate content creation. The system:

• Reduces manual content creation effort
• Ensures consistency in post formatting
• Automates social media publishing
• Provides a user-friendly interface for content management

The combination of Gemini AI for content generation and automated image creation makes it possible to maintain a consistent flow of high-quality vocabulary posts with minimal human intervention.

This system demonstrates how modern AI tools can be integrated into Laravel applications to automate complex content creation workflows. The modular design allows for easy maintenance and future enhancements.
