Project Overview

Content Mate is a web application designed to automate and streamline the creation of product content for e-commerce catalogs. It addresses the high operational cost of producing high-quality product cards, especially under a long-tail retail strategy by consolidating fragmented, manual workflows into a single system.

Problem Addressed

As online assortments grow, creating visually appealing and information-rich product cards becomes increasingly labor-intensive. For long-tail products that sell infrequently, the cost of manual content creation disproportionately impacts margins. Traditional workflows rely on multiple tools, repetitive manual steps, and human validation at every stage, making the process slow, error-prone, and demotivating.

Key Features & Problems Solved

End-to-end product content automation

Generates product names, descriptions, attributes, and key features from a simple input list of SKUs.

Unified interface for fragmented workflows

Replaces dozens of disconnected operations (searching descriptions, selecting images, editing files) with a single application.

Automated image discovery and processing

Searches, selects, and processes product images to meet publication requirements.

LLM-assisted content generation

Uses large language models to generate consistent, category-aware product text at scale.

ERP-ready outputs

Produces structured deliverables (images, PDFs, spreadsheets) ready for bulk upload into ERP systems and direct website publication.

Deterministic and transparent processes

Each step is logged and reviewable, ensuring quality control and auditability.

Implementation Highlights

Web application with asynchronous processing

Built with Flask and served via Gunicorn, with long-running tasks delegated to Celery workers to keep the UI responsive.

Scalable task orchestration

Uses RabbitMQ and Redis for background execution and scheduling of content generation and data processing jobs.

Data processing pipeline

Combines SQLite, BigQuery, and Pandas for flexible handling of product data across different stages.

Automation-focused frontend

HTML, Jinja, CSS, and JavaScript provide a simple, task-oriented interface optimized for operational use rather than exploration.

Containerized deployment

Docker Compose enables reproducible builds and straightforward deployment of the full system stack.

Outcomes & Impact

  • 3× increase in employee productivity in product card creation.

  • Near-elimination of content errors through automated, end-to-end quality control.

  • Higher employee motivation by removing repetitive and low-value manual work.

  • Enabled economically viable content creation for long-tail product assortments.
