## 📊 Technical Implementation Details

### 1. Content Generation Pipeline
```python
async def generate_content(self, topic: str) -> Dict:
    # 1. Generate outline structure
    outline = await self.generate_outline(topic)
    
    # 2. Generate content for each section
    for section in outline:
        content = await self.generate_section_content(section)
        outline[section]['content'] = content
    
    # 3. Generate images if enabled
    if self.config.include_images:
        for section in outline:
            image = await self.generate_section_image(section)
            outline[section]['image'] = image
    
    return outline
```

### 2. AI Integration
```python
class AIIntegration:
    def __init__(self, provider: str):
        self.provider = provider
        self.model = self._initialize_model()
    
    async def generate_text(self, prompt: str) -> str:
        if self.provider == "gemini":
            return await gemini_text_response(prompt)
        elif self.provider == "openai":
            return await openai_chatgpt(prompt)
```

### 3. Image Processing
```python
class ImageProcessor:
    def __init__(self, engine: str):
        self.engine = engine
    
    async def generate_image(self, prompt: str) -> str:
        if self.engine == "Gemini-AI":
            return await generate_gemini_image(prompt)
        elif self.engine == "Dalle3":
            return await generate_dalle3_images(prompt)
```
