What this flow does

• Selects the least-used WordPress category (tracked in PostgreSQL)

• Uses GPT (4-mini or better) to generate a fully formatted SEO article with headings, TOC, lists, CTA, and Yoast blocks

• Creates a placeholder cover image and uploads it to WordPress Media

• Publishes the final post via /wp-json/wp/v2/posts with correct category + featured image

• Logs the used category for future rotation (zero duplicates!)

Setup in 3 mins
