What it does

Lets writers produce hero art by simply dropping a Markdown file into a shared Dropbox folder. The workflow reads the draft's front-matter title and excerpt, generates an on-brand illustration, and saves both the image and a suggested alt-text caption next to the source file.

When to use it

Use it for teams that draft in plain Markdown files rather than a CMS, or for agencies handling many clients where every new draft needs matching hero art before review. It scales image production to whatever lands in the folder.

How it works

  1. 1A Dropbox trigger fires when a new .md file appears in the watched drafts folder.
  2. 2A logic step parses the front matter and skips files that already have a sibling hero image.
  3. 3The title and excerpt are turned into a prompt that locks the brand color palette and illustration style.
  4. 4Replicate renders the hero illustration.
  5. 5The image is saved back into the same Dropbox folder using the draft's filename.
  6. 6A short alt-text caption file is written alongside it so editors get accessibility copy with the art.
