GitaVerse š§āāļø AI-Powered Social Media Pipeline
2025-06-23By Saswat Sahoo

āThe Bhagavad Gita is eternal. What if AI could speak its wisdom to the worldāevery single day?ā
In this blog, Iāll walk you through how I built a fully automated content pipeline that posts Bhagavad Gita Reels to Instagramāwithout any manual effort. From picking a verse to translating, designing a visual, generating a voiceover, and publishingāevery step is handled by AI. All thanks to n8n, OpenAI, and ElevenLabs.
Powered by:
- OpenAI (for translation, captioning, image, and explanation)
- ElevenLabs (for powerful war-style voiceovers)
- n8n (to automate the entire workflow)
- FFmpeg (to merge image + audio into video)
- Instagram Graph API (for publishing)
Hereās a simplified view of how the automation works:
