About the Author

From full-time engineer to a self-paced life

The site owner is an IT software engineer with many years of experience in the industry, having built numerous systems and witnessed the rapid evolution of technology.

Eventually, a realization dawned: rather than working nine-to-six day after day, it would be better to leverage professional expertise and accumulated experience to find a path with self-controlled pace. So the decision was made to step away from fixed hours and build a career through technology and content.

The biggest reason for this choice is to free up more time to care for family — whether aging elders or young children, being present to accompany them as they grow. LifeFinAI was born from this intention: doing what one excels at and loves, while preserving the flexibility and warmth of life.

Our Positioning

LifeFinAI is not a traffic-chasing media outlet, but a knowledge-sharing platform centered on in-depth content. We believe that truly valuable knowledge in Finance, AI Tech, and Workplace & Management requires systematic organization and rational analysis. Three pillars, equally explored.

Whether you are an investment beginner, a quant enthusiast, an AI learner, a career builder, or simply someone looking for workplace strategies and career growth, there is always content for you here. Three domains, equally valued — none overshadowed by another.

The biggest difference from typical financial websites is: the content here is not recycled news found everywhere online. Every article comes from the author's real investment and trading journey — personally experienced, battle-tested, then carefully selected as genuinely useful knowledge and insights. In other words, what is recorded here is the footprint of someone who is walking the path, not a cold pile of information.

  • ✕Clickbait-driven, fragmented content
  • ✕Echoing others, lacking real-world validation

Killer Feature: From Idea to Article, Automatically

You just need an idea — AI handles the rest

The most powerful aspect of this system is that the author only needs to throw out an idea or a topic — everything else is handled by AI. From article content, illustrations to video, it is all auto-generated by AI. No need to write word by word, no need to hunt for images or edit footage — the entire creative process is dramatically compressed.

✍️Article Content Generation

Powered by the MiniMax-M3 large language model, automatically writing well-structured, logically clear long-form articles based on the topic.

🖼️Auto-Generated Illustrations

Article illustrations are also generated by the LLM, tightly aligned with the content theme, saving the effort of manual image search.

🎬AI Video Generation

Via the Seedance (Doubao) API, a short video can be auto-generated from just a text prompt, adding dynamic visuals to the content.

In other words, the creator's role shifts from "executor" to "director" — your energy can focus on ideation and judgment, while the tedious writing, illustration, and video work is efficiently handled by AI. This "idea-driven, AI-executed" model is the key to this platform's ability to consistently produce in-depth content.

📢

One-Click Multi-Platform Publishing

Once written, auto-synced to major social platforms

After content is generated, the system can automatically publish articles to multiple social platforms — no need to manually copy to each one. A single article can simultaneously reach audiences on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Discord, saving a great deal of repetitive publishing time and effort.

📘
Facebook

AI Chat Assistant

Ask a question, instantly find relevant articles

An AI chat assistant sits at the bottom-right corner of every page — simply ask a question in natural language, and the system uses semantic search (pgvector) to find the most relevant articles from the entire library, then generates a precise answer based solely on article content. No need to browse article by article — ask and get an answer instantly.

🔍Semantic Search

GLM Embedding-3 converts your question into a vector, using pgvector cosine similarity to find the most relevant articles.

📌Grounded Answers

The AI answers only from article content, never fabricating — each response includes source article links you can click to read in full.

🔐Role-Aware Access

Guests search public articles only; members can access member-exclusive content; admins see everything including drafts.

The design principle is "only say what the articles say" — the AI never invents information, and every answer is traceable to specific articles. Whether you want to quickly grasp an investment concept, find a relevant AI tool guide, or look up wealth planning advice, the chat assistant helps you instantly locate the right content.

Technical Architecture

Decoupled · Cloud-native · Cost-efficient

A decoupled architecture blending cloud services with self-hosted servers, balancing performance and cost. From content generation and semantic search to data storage, each layer is purpose-built.

🗺️System Architecture Overview

☁️
Cloudflare
Domain management + DNS, mapping domain to server IP
🖥️
Windows VPS
Self-hosted server, saving full-cloud hosting costs
🎨
Next.js
SSR + responsive business-style UI
⚙️
FastAPI
API service + scheduled tasks
🗄️
Local PostgreSQL
Local on-server deployment — data never leaves the server for better security; pgvector for semantic search (RAG)
🖼️
Cloud Image Storage
Object storage, stable and reliable
🤖
定時排程 → OpenClaw
AI generates content; GLM Embedding builds vectors for semantic search; MCP Server pulls market data and news
💡The entire codebase is co-written with the GLM 5.3 model, lowering the development barrier.
FrontendNext.js 15 + React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS

Minimalist business-style UI, responsive and mobile-first.

BackendPython FastAPI

Async API + scheduled tasks, powering content generation and publishing.

DataLocal PostgreSQL + pgvector

PostgreSQL runs locally on the same server as the backend — the database is never exposed to the internet, improving security; pgvector stores article vectors for semantic search (RAG); images kept in cloud object storage.

InfrastructureCloudflare + Windows VPS

Cloudflare handles domain/DNS; app self-hosted on a Windows VPS to control cost.

ContentMiniMax-M3 + GLM Embedding + OpenClaw + MCP Server

MiniMax-M3 generates articles and images; GLM Embedding produces search vectors; scheduling drives OpenClaw via MCP Server for market data and news.

DevelopmentGit + PyCharm + Kilo Code (GLM 5.3)

Git for version control, PyCharm as IDE, Kilo Code + GLM 5.3 for natural-language AI-assisted development (Vibe Coding).

Built with Vibe Coding

From zero to a full platform, using natural language

The entire frontend and backend of this website was built through Vibe Coding — using Kilo Code with GLM Coding Plan (GLM 5.3) to converse with AI and describe requirements in natural language, step by step turning ideas into running code. This approach dramatically lowers the barrier for solo site-building — even without being a full-time engineer, you can build a complete content platform from scratch.

From UI design and API interfaces to server deployment and automated scheduling, AI was involved throughout. This experience proves: as long as you have a clear idea, technical details are no longer a wall blocking you from launching.

Ultimately, this website is a complete Content Management System (CMS) — article publishing, category management, scheduled generation, image storage, all included. More importantly: this approach to building is not limited to the finance domain. No matter what industry you are in, as long as you organize your content needs, you can use the same approach to build a content platform for your business.
