TheGayAgenda - Automated AI Events Gathering Platform

TheGayAgenda - Automated AI Events Gathering Platform

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

  • Daily automated posts of upcoming events

  • Custom image generation for social media content

  • Smart scheduling system based on platform analytics

  • Automatic hashtag generation and optimization

  • Cross-platform posting to Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook

User Interface

  • Modern Next.js frontend for optimal performance

  • Responsive design for seamless mobile experience

  • Intuitive filtering and search capabilities

  • Rich event detail pages with all necessary information

Here are some key features in action:

1

The main event listing interface, designed for easy browsing and discovery.


2

Detailed event view with AI-enhanced descriptions and key information.


3

Multi-city support with expanding coverage.


4

Fully responsive mobile experience.


5

Seamless event viewing on mobile devices.

Results

The platform successfully delivered on its core objective of connecting LGBTQ+ individuals with their local communities. Key achievements include:

  • Automated discovery and processing of events across multiple cities

  • Significant reduction in manual event curation time

  • High accuracy in event categorization and description generation

  • Positive user feedback on platform usability and event discovery

  • Scalable architecture allowing for easy expansion to new cities

  • Successful automated social media presence with growing engagement

The project demonstrates how AI technology can be effectively leveraged to solve real community challenges while maintaining a focus on user experience and accessibility.
