Blackbird Repurpose

View on Github

The Blackbird Repurpose app lets you repurpose content with any of the supported LLM models. The models currently supported are Anthropic and OpenAI.

Before setting up

If you are connecting with OpenAI, make sure that:

  • You have an OpenAI account.
  • You have generated a new API key in the API keys section, granting programmatic access to OpenAI models on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ basis. With this, you only pay for your actual usage, which starts at $0,002 per 1,000 tokens for the fastest chat model. Note that the ChatGPT Plus subscription plan is not applicable for this; it only provides access to the limited web interface at chat.openai.com and doesn’t include OpenAI API access. Ensure you copy the entire API key, displayed once upon creation, rather than an abbreviated version. The API key has the shape sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
  • Your API account has a payment method and a positive balance, with a minimum of $5. You can set this up in the Billing settings section.

Note: Blackbird by default uses the latest models in its actions. If your subscription does not support these models then you have to add the models you can use in every Blackbird action.

If you are connecting with Anthropic, make sure that:

Connecting

  1. Navigate to apps and search for RePurpose.
  2. Click Add Connection.
  3. Choose the model you want to connect to.
  4. Fill in your API key obtained earlier.
  5. Click Connect.

Actions

  • Repurpose text repurposes content to a specific target audience.
  • Repurpose repurposes file contents and returns a repurposed file. Compatible formats are: plaintext (txt, csv, etc.), HTML and XLIFF.

Repurpose takes the following parameters:

  • Instructions how the content should be repurposed. You can use this for completely custom instructions as to how the content should be repurposed.
  • Model (optional) the LLM model to use. If no model is selected, Open AI will use gpt-4.1 and Anthropic will use Claude 3.5 Sonnet
  • Language (optional) the target language the content should be created in. If an XLIFF with a target language was given as input then this will be used if not manually set.
  • Glossary (optional) a glossary that will be used for the repurposing.
  • Tone (optional) the tone of voice for the content. This input is a dropdown of precreated tone of voice statement.
  • Touchpoint (optional) LinkedIn post, Blog post or Tweet. Each of these have a very specific set of instructions on how to create the perfect content for this touchpoint.
  • Purpose (optional) the purpose of the content if it was not included in instructions.
  • Audience (optional) the audience of the content if it was not included in instructions.

The general repurpose prompt is the following: “Repurpose the content of the message of the user. Do not add any tags, html markdown or otherwise. You also need to consider the following instructions, style elements and guide: [instructions].” Followed by inputs from tone, touchpoint, audience, purpose, language and glossary.
