🔧 Advanced Techniques

Conditional Transformations

While curate.fun doesn't directly support conditional logic, you can achieve similar results by using the AI transform plugin with specific prompts:

"plugin": "@curatedotfun/ai-transform",
"config": {
  "prompt": "If the content mentions a product launch, focus on the product features. If it mentions funding, focus on the investment details. Otherwise, provide a general summary.",
  "apiKey": "{OPENROUTER_API_KEY}"
}

Content Categorization

Use AI to automatically categorize content:

"plugin": "@curatedotfun/ai-transform",
"config": {
  "prompt": "Analyze this content and categorize it.",
  "apiKey": "{OPENROUTER_API_KEY}",
  "schema": {
    "category": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["News", "Tutorial", "Opinion", "Announcement", "Other"],
      "description": "Content category"
    },
    "tags": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "description": "Relevant tags"
    }
  }
}
