Project State

Project Reference

Core Value: ALwrity is an AI-powered content creation platform that helps users generate various types of content including podcasts, videos, blogs, and social media content.

Current Focus: Based on recent development activity, the team is implementing Phase 2 of the WaveSpeed AI integration roadmap - Hyper-Personalization features for the Persona system, including voice training and avatar creation.

Current Position

Phase: 2 of 3 - Hyper-Personalization Plan: 3 of 5 - Persona Avatar Creation & Integration Status: In Progress - Working on avatar service implementation and frontend UI for avatar creation

Progress

Progress: [███████░░] 70%

Recent Decisions

1. Avatar Service Architecture: Decided to create a shared avatar service in backend/services/wavespeed/avatar/ for reuse across LinkedIn and Persona modules
2. UI Framework: Continuing with Material-UI (MUI) for consistent avatar creation interface
3. Storage Strategy: Using cloud storage for avatar assets with metadata tracking in PostgreSQL
4. Generation Queue: Implementing asynchronous processing for avatar generation to prevent API timeouts

Pending Todos

• Complete avatar generation API endpoints
• Implement avatar library management UI
• Add avatar preview functionality
• Create avatar upload/download capabilities
• Integrate avatar selection into Persona dashboard
• Add usage tracking and cost estimation for avatar generation
• Write comprehensive tests for avatar service
• Update documentation for avatar feature

Blockers/Concerns

• WaveSpeed API Rate Limits: Need to implement proper queuing and retry mechanisms
• Storage Costs: Avatar storage could become expensive at scale - need to implement cleanup policies
• Generation Time: Avatar generation can take 30-60 seconds - need to improve user experience during wait
• Quality Consistency: Ensuring generated avatars maintain consistent quality across different inputs
