We build MVPs in 2-week sprints. This sprint is an internal “Blog Maker” app. I’m wrestling the last mile, always the hardest part of any launch.

👉 What the app does
+ Pull YouTube videos from our channel
+ Analyze transcript + do SERP/competitor checks
+ Use two AI agents — researcher → writer — to draft
+ Push the draft straight to Webflow for editing where it lives

Saves hours per post. The writer agent repurposes for our ICP and SEO rules.

👉 Why we built an app, not an automation
+ Complex automations turn into field soup and never-ending maintenance.
+ I find it easier to change and maintain codebase. The AI agent can do most of heavy lifting rather than me clicking myself to suffocation on n8n.

👉 The two-agent CTO approach
+ Agent 1: “CTO” — ruthless reducer
+ Agent 2: “Visionary” — blue-sky adder

They argue over the same prompt. I cherry-pick, then iterate the prompts every run. I find giving long prompts to one agent is a bad practice. just produces garbage.

👉 Lesson learned:
I burned ~$150–200 on API calls testing YouTube transcript paths so far in less than a week. Should’ve used a reliable paid API for transcripts and moved on.

👉 Status right now:
Content quality is there (2,500–3,000 words), SEO linter checks are running, but markdown + external linking still need love before I auto-publish.

👉 Tool stack:
Stack (today): cloud code (plan-mode), ChatGPT-Codex (debug mode), a lot of terminal, Git. I let cloud code run with full permission (YOLO), then review.

Part 2 next week: either “celebration mode” or “here’s the fix I shipped.” If you want me to share the two-agent prompt skeleton or file structure, comment “AGENTS”.

P.S. At Bonanza Studios | Digital Transformation, we run bi-weekly sprints building MVPs like this for mid-market digital teams. Your idea that's been stuck in meetings for months? We develop it in 2 weeks. DM if you're interested.
