⚙️ How It Works

1. User Input: The user selects a niche, tone, and specific requirements for their video via the dashboard.
2. Script Generation: The application sends a prompt to Google Gemini, which crafts a compelling script and suggests visual scenes.
3. Asset Orchestration: The system determines the best stock imagery or AI-generated visuals to match the script's distinct scenes.
4. Processing: Inngest manages the workflow, ensuring that resource-intensive tasks (like fetching assets and formatting data) don't block the user interface.
5. Delivery: The final video project is saved to Supabase, where users can view, edit, or export their content.
