Generating a draft is the easy part.
Gearhead needs accurate, visually planned automotive stories. The Studio gives research notes, slide copy, visual briefs, and publication decisions a shared workflow.
A deliberate route to published.
Editors can create manual stories or structured AI drafts, refine slides, upload images, review versions, and approve a story before an explicit publish action. Batch generation feeds the same editorial pipeline.
Protect the version people are reading.
A published story has a stable snapshot. Editing it forks a new draft rather than mutating the version served to the consumer app. Public content APIs expose published content and leave internal editorial material out.
Prisma and SQLite persist stories, versions, and batch job state. Image upload uses S3-compatible object storage. Batch generation is bounded rather than launching every model request at once.
A complete internal publishing workflow.
The implementation includes manual and AI-assisted drafting, review and publication states, version preservation, and a consumer-facing content API. The source and internal workspace remain private.
