🎯 Project Overview
Today, we completed the core features of an AI-powered blog automation system. From solving UTF-8 encoding issues to dynamic keyword expansion and EXE distribution, we’ve built a complete automation pipeline.
✅ Key Features Completed
1. Perfect UTF-8 Encoding Support
Completely resolved Korean character corruption issues in Windows environments. Applied a solution that sets the console code page to 65001 (UTF-8) and reconfigures Python’s stdin/stdout to UTF-8.
Core Solution: The configure_utf8_console() function switches the Windows console code page to UTF-8 and resets stream encoding with sys.stdout.reconfigure().
2. Dynamic Keyword Expansion with Gemini AI
Automatically generates 12+ new keywords for each category using Gemini AI. Removes duplicates with existing keywords and saves to expanded_keywords.json to continuously expand the keyword pool.
- Category-specific keyword generation
- Automatic duplicate removal
- Real-time keyword pool expansion
- Permanent storage in JSON format
3. Enhanced Content Quality
Extended blog post length to 2500-3500 words and applied semantic HTML structure. Images are wrapped in <figure> tags with captions, centered alignment, and rounded corner styling.
4. PyInstaller EXE Distribution
Built auto_scheduler.py as a standalone executable (10.6MB). Provided with a batch file launcher that supports UTF-8 encoding, making it executable in any environment.
