Creation Scenario: Content Creator's Material Management System ​

Scenario Description ​

Liu is a self-media blogger and content creator, mainly creating tech videos and articles. His daily work includes:

  • 🔍 Collecting creative inspiration and materials
  • 📝 Writing scripts and articles
  • 🎬 Producing videos and graphic content
  • 🎨 Designing covers and images
  • 📊 Analyzing data and user feedback

But he often encounters these creation pain points:

  • 💡 "Had a great topic idea last week, can't remember it now"
  • 🖼️ "Remember saving an image, but can't find which folder"
  • 📄 "Wrote similar content before, want to reuse some materials"
  • 🎥 "Want to find data charts used in previous video"
  • ⏰ "Don't know where time was spent in creation process"

After using LifeTrace, Liu built a personal "creative material library" with greatly improved creation efficiency and content quality.

Usage ​

1. Build Creative Inspiration Library ​

When Liu browses content and collects inspiration daily, LifeTrace works silently in the background:

bash
# Start LifeTrace service
python start_all_services.py

LifeTrace automatically records:

  • 🌐 News, articles, video websites browsed
  • 💬 Hot topics and comments on social media
  • 📊 Charts and reports from data analysis sites
  • 🎨 Excellent works from design websites
  • 💻 Code examples and technical documentation
  • 📝 Thought evolution during writing process

2. Quickly Retrieve Creative Inspiration ​

When Liu recalls "last week's AI application topic idea":

bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8840/api/semantic-search \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "AI artificial intelligence application scenarios topic inspiration",
    "limit": 15
  }'

Or search in the Web interface, the system will:

  • 💡 Display all related browsing records
  • 📝 Show notes and thoughts from that time
  • 🔗 Provide complete context
  • 📅 Sort by time, trace inspiration sources

3. Material Image Management ​

Find images for specific themes:

bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8840/api/search \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "tech style blue minimalist design",
    "filters": {
      "type": "image",
      "tags": ["image", "design"]
    }
  }'

Or use "image search" feature:

bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8840/api/image-search \
  -F "image=@/path/to/reference.png" \
  -F "limit=20"

Quickly find:

  • 🎨 Images with similar style
  • 🖼️ Previously saved material images
  • 📊 Related data visualization charts
  • 🎬 Video screenshots and key frames
