One screenshot goes in, and a titled, described, categorised post with six image variants and SEO keyword data comes out — with no human step in between. Neville Medhora, who runs [Swipe File](https://swipefile.com/?ref=intelligence.artificialrealitymedia.com), built that pipeline himself and refuses to call it an agent. *“I don’t love the term agents. This is just basic coding, right?”*

## What does the pipeline actually do?

Medhora’s own description of what happens when he saves a marketing example:

*“I just take a screenshot, tell Swipe File to take it, it titles it, it describes it, it regenerates the image in six different ways. It pulls from* [*Ahrefs*](https://ahrefs.com/?ref=intelligence.artificialrealitymedia.com) *SEO data and it does all the keywords. And then it also pulls* [*Google*](https://www.google.com/?ref=intelligence.artificialrealitymedia.com) *Trends data. It does all of those, finds related posts, and it categorizes it.”*

The same pipeline runs off an [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/?ref=intelligence.artificialrealitymedia.com) save. Pressing save on a post triggers the archive, the embed, the description and the storage.

The outcome he reports: *“What used to take me a few minutes to make a very basic post… now takes me zero time.”*

## Which tools are wired into it?

Four, and only one of them is a product he interacts with.

1. **The AI model** — image description and regeneration, six variants per item
2. **Ahrefs** — SEO keyword data, pulled by API
3. **Google Trends** — trend data, pulled by API
4. [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org/?ref=intelligence.artificialrealitymedia.com) — where the finished post lands

Ahrefs and Google Trends are the interesting entries, because he never opens them. They are inputs to the pipeline, not tools on his desk.

## What did it replace?

The work he was worst at enjoying. *“I got to get rid of titling stuff and categorizing stuff and manually uploading it to WordPress… And I just get to do what I’m good at and take screenshots and it’s done.”*

Note what he did **not** automate: choosing which example is worth saving. He tried. *“We tried to make AI go full bore and just run the whole thing and it kind of sucked.”*

## Why does he reject the word “agent”?

Because it describes packaging, not capability. He has built the thing the category is named after — he says he has *“done the agents thing”* — and expects the label to fade while the automation stays. From his side of it, this is a script that calls some APIs and writes to a CMS.

That matters if you are being sold an agent platform. Ask what the platform does that a scheduled script calling two APIs does not.

## What does it cost to run?

The delivery layer is **$8 a month** to [Bunny.net](https://bunny.net/?ref=intelligence.artificialrealitymedia.com), for what he describes as millions to tens of millions of images. The AI is a **$20** consumer [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/?ref=intelligence.artificialrealitymedia.com) subscription. The pipeline itself was built with Codex.

## If you’re building something similar

**Automate the step you resent, not the step you’re paid for.** He removed titling and uploading. He kept selection.

**Wire data sources in, don’t add dashboards.** Ahrefs and Google Trends became inputs, not another two tabs.

**Build it where it’s cheap.** The pipeline came out of a coding agent, not a platform subscription.
