WORKINGArticle, RSS & PDF Source Ingestion
Transform external blog URLs, RSS feeds, whitepapers, and uploaded PDFs into ready-to-schedule social post series.
## Source Ingestion Engine
The Source Ingestion Engine allows you to turn existing long-form knowledge into high-performing social content. Instead of staring at a blank composer, you feed ESER AI your whitepapers, blog articles, or industry news, and it extracts actionable hooks and drafts ready for distribution.

### Supported Ingestion Sources
1. **Web Article URLs:** Ingest any public web page or blog post. ESER AI strips navigation, ads, and boilerplate, extracting pure editorial text.
2. **PDF Documents & Whitepapers:** Upload research papers, ebooks, or slide decks (up to 50 MB). ESER AI parses headers, bullet points, and key statistics.
3. **Raw Text & Meeting Notes:** Paste raw transcripts, brain dumps, or product release notes directly into the scratchpad.
4. **RSS Feeds:** Connect industry RSS feeds to automatically monitor new articles and queue draft summaries.

### Step-by-Step Workflow
#### Step 1: Ingest Your Source
1. Open **Dashboard -> Sources**.
2. Click **New Source** and select your input type (URL, Upload PDF, or Paste Text).
3. Enter a label and click **Process Source**.
#### Step 2: Review Extracted Knowledge
ESER AI processes the source asynchronously and provides:
- **Core Thesis & Executive Summary:** 2-paragraph overview of the core insight.
- **Key Quotables & Data Points:** Extracted statistics and contrarian statements.
- **Content Idea Angles:** 5-10 distinct angles (e.g., How-To guide, Contrarian insight, 3-step checklist, Case study).
#### Step 3: Generate Social Posts
Click **Generate Post Series** on any angle. ESER AI drafts:
- 1x LinkedIn Thought Leadership Post
- 1x Twitter/X 5-Post Thread
- 1x Instagram Reel / TikTok Video Script
- 1x Multi-Slide Carousel Outline
Review the generated drafts in **Dashboard -> Drafts**, make any quick edits, and click **Approve & Queue**.
