TheGayAgenda.FYI
Building a fully automated, AI augmented events research and display platform for a client.
The Solution
I developed TheGayAgenda.FYI, an intelligent event aggregation platform that automatically discovers, processes, and presents LGBTQ+ events from multiple cities in one accessible location. The platform combines advanced AI technology with a clean, user-friendly interface to make finding community events as simple as possible.
Technical Implementation
The system architecture consists of several sophisticated components:
Data Collection System
Custom web crawlers to discover LGBTQ+ organizations and events
Intelligent source monitoring for websites and social media
Fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) for accurate data extraction
Event Processing Pipeline
The system employed two distinct pipelines for processing events from different sources:
Web-based Event Pipeline
Intelligent crawling of event websites and community calendars
HTML structure analysis for consistent data extraction
Natural language processing to identify event details from unstructured text
Validation system to ensure event accuracy and completeness
Social Media Pipeline
Instagram API integration for monitoring posts and stories
Advanced AI models to differentiate between:
New event announcements
Event reminders
Past event celebrations
Regular promotional content
Story-specific processing to extract time-sensitive event details
Image analysis to extract text and event information from flyers
Cross-reference system to avoid duplicate events from multiple sources
Event Enhancement and Distribution
AI-powered event detection and validation
Automated metadata enrichment and categorization
Custom-trained models for generating human-like event descriptions
Comprehensive data normalization and standardization
Social Media Automation
