How to do this workflow with AI

Here’s a practical workflow I am trying to implement right now.

Conflicted whether to do it mostly manually, or spend the time to try and create an automated AI workflow.

Suggestions?

Objective:
For a WordPress website, process every webpage that is a blog post and not a standalone webpage.

Have ChatGPT (or other AI) scan the blog post and create a summary of the contents with 3 bullet points.

Edit the post and insert the bullet point summary text at the beginning of the post.

Iterate automatically over all the pages when the workflow is launched.

Bonus points: Workflow does a “test run” and provides a queue of the edited blog post pages with an interactive list to “approve” or “disallow” the proposed changes to that page.

I think you could tackle this multiple ways. I might do it with a script:

  • get all posts via your Wordpress site’s API:
  • for each, generate a bulleted summary for the post with OpenAI’s API (or whatever)
  • save the summary in a custom field (ACF, etc.)

Then modify your theme to display the custom field at the top of a post if it’s populated.

That’s way too much work!

I can manually copy/paste each post into a chat prompt and paste the results a lot faster than spending days learning how to use an API and debugging all that.

I was hoping some vibe coding tool would just take my instructions and do it.

But I think I already knew that AI has not matured enough to handle this yet.

Ah, sorry. I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending Operator, Claude Computer Use, etc. to admin a CMS. I think you could but you’d have to define the steps, and at that point you’re programming…

I’m sure you could get it working faster than you think if you’re willing to use agentic tools in the first place, though. For fun, I had 4o write a python script for this and it gave me something correct and readable. I just added some logging and had to make an application password for a test WP install.

I had a chance to test what you want with nanobrowser.ai and it works. It’s slow, but the planner and validator keep the operations in line, for me, at least.

You can use LangChain for this…

Build a custom tool that:

  • Authenticates with WordPress (via API key, OAuth, or JWT)
  • Pulls desired content (e.g. specific categories, tags, authors)
  • Returns content to LangChain agents for summarization and processing

So I still need to get someone on upwork or equiv to actually built it as no AI tool will simply vibe code it for me directly, right?

(not a complaint as much as a ‘status check’ on what AI can do right now)
