The work
Problem, implementation, and result.
01
Build
I built a Next.js content platform and AnneAI, an assistant that retrieves passages from indexed posts and podcast transcripts. Responses include numbered citations linking readers back to the source material.
System design
Outcome
Delivered a content platform with podcast ingestion, source search, and a retrieval assistant. Citations provide material for readers to check; they do not guarantee that a generated answer is correct.
Delivered behavior
Framing
Scope and constraints.
Dr. Anne is a naturopathic doctor and author of The Period Literacy Handbook. This project focused on making her published material easier to find across formats. I built the content application and an ingestion pipeline that embeds posts and podcast transcripts in Supabase pgvector. The assistant retrieves passages for the answer context and presents numbered citations alongside the response.

Architecture choices
Next.js App Router application with API routes, deployed on Vercel
Supabase pgvector store holding embeddings for every blog post and podcast transcript
Ingestion pipeline that transcribes new podcast episodes with AssemblyAI and indexes them for retrieval automatically
RAG answer flow that retrieves scored passages, generates the response with OpenAI, and renders inline numbered citations plus a source list
Clerk authentication and Stripe payments for member access and paid content
Key decisions
Use published content as the retrieval source and display citations so readers can check the material behind an answer
Automate podcast transcription and indexing as part of the ingestion workflow
Offer separate Ask and Search modes for generated answers and direct source retrieval
Results
Results and limitations.
Delivered a content platform with podcast ingestion, source search, and a retrieval assistant. Citations provide material for readers to check; they do not guarantee that a generated answer is correct.
Delivered behavior
Brought the book, blog, and podcast into a shared content platform
Built question-answering and search interfaces over indexed posts and episode transcripts
Added automated podcast transcription and indexing, plus numbered source citations
Constraints
Readers need visible sources when reviewing generated responses about health content
Podcast indexing needed to fit the publishing workflow
The content platform and retrieval pipeline needed to be maintainable together
Lessons
What the build taught me.
01
Design ingestion and updates alongside retrieval, so new content can enter the index
02
Make source passages accessible from the answer interface
03
Evaluate retrieval quality and answer quality separately
