community automation templates - what's live and what's next

josh choi·march 26, 2026·6 min read

what shipped

three automation templates are live on the community page. each one is a complete pipeline - connect your accounts, install the template, and it runs.

  • AI content engine (advanced) - multi-platform autonomous posting. generates content with AI personas, schedules across platforms, handles format adaptation per channel. this is the template behind the 145-post case study.
  • DJ set clipper (intermediate) - audio peak detection + clip extraction. takes a full DJ set recording, finds the high-energy moments, cuts clips, and publishes to Instagram and TikTok.
  • event photo slideshows (beginner) - Google Drive to TikTok pipeline. point it at a folder of event photos, it builds a slideshow video and posts it. the simplest template to start with.

5 content formats

templates are built on top of 5 content formats. these are the building blocks - each one maps to a specific output type that platforms support.

  • story-slideshow - 6-slide carousel. works on Instagram stories, TikTok, and LinkedIn carousels.
  • ugc-reaction - 4-second AI reaction clip. short-form video for Reels and TikTok.
  • ugc-talking - 8-second AI talking clip. longer-form for explanations and announcements.
  • text-single - tweet-optimized text. fits Twitter's character limits, works as a standalone post on any platform.
  • text-post - long-form with platform formatting. adapts structure for LinkedIn, Reddit, and Facebook.

templates combine these formats into pipelines. the AI content engine uses all 5. the DJ set clipper uses ugc-reaction and story-slideshow. the event photo template uses story-slideshow only.

4 supported frameworks

each template ships with install paths for 4 agent frameworks. pick the one you already use.

  • OpenClaw - open-source agent runtime with built-in crons. best for scheduled pipelines that run on a loop without human input.
  • Manus - cloud AI agent. handles provisioning, scheduling, and execution. good if you want zero infrastructure.
  • Claude Code - Anthropic's CLI. run templates directly from your terminal with full access to the dropspace MCP server.
  • Cursor - AI code editor with Background Agents. templates run as background tasks while you work on other things.

each community page has a one-click install button per framework. it copies the config into your project and sets up the dropspace API key.

what's next

more templates are coming - podcast clip distribution, product changelog syndication, and weekly digest generators. if you've built a pipeline on the dropspace API, you can contribute it to the community page.

all templates are open-source in the dropspace-agents repo. fork it, add your own, and open a PR.
