## AI Capabilities

Webbie Social has two primary AI systems:

### 1. Webbie Marketing AI (Admin)
An admin-only conversational AI assistant powered by Google Gemini 2.5 Flash via the Lovable AI Gateway. It can:
- Generate creator spotlight posts for X/Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn
- Write weekly community video roundup scripts for Maddy (the platform's AI content creator)
- Produce full marketing content strategies (brand analysis, audience personas, social posts, email sequences, landing page copy)
- Pull real-time creator data (post counts, engagement, Twitter handles, bios) from the Supabase database
- Generate campaign ideas and platform growth strategies

### 2. AI Growth Recommendations (All Creators)
A personalized AI recommendation engine available to all users (3 generations/day). It analyzes each creator's profile, content, engagement, XP, badges, and referrals, then returns structured recommendations in 5 categories:
- Brand Growth
- Monetization
- Content Strategy
- Engagement Tactics
- Profile Optimization

### 3. Open Call AI Chat
An AI chat assistant that helps creators find and understand open call opportunities on the platform.

## Content Types

Creators can publish: original posts, digital art, YouTube embeds, open call submissions, and fullscreen slideshows. Engagement is tracked via heart (❤️) and fire (🔥) reactions. There are no comments on the platform by design.

## Gamification & XP

Creators earn Webbie XP (experience points) for activities: posting content, completing profile fields, daily sign-ins, referrals, course completions, tipping, and more. XP unlocks shop items (profile borders, badges, featured slots) and determines leaderboard standing.
