📊 Technical Implementation Details

1. Content Generation Pipeline

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

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

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)

class SectionContent(BaseModel):
    title: str
    content: str
    image_path: Optional[str]
    
    @validator('content')
    def validate_content_length(cls, v):
        if len(v.split()) < 100:
            raise ValueError("Content too short")
