小贝 (xiaobei) is an AI-powered multi-agent content marketing automation platform for small and medium businesses, built on top of the OpenClaw agent framework. It focuses on producing, publishing, and tracking content across major Chinese social media platforms (WeChat, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, etc.). The system uses a custom forked browser automation CLI (camoufox-cli) for platform interaction, a relay service for API signing, and SQLite databases for content and performance metrics. It includes multiple specialized agent crews (main, IT engineer, content producer, sales-cs) that collaborate through a modular skill system with thin wrapper scripts for agent invocation. The codebase demonstrates solid architecture with consistent patterns (DNA style analysis, workflow steps, patch application), but is heavily coupled to specific platform APIs and DOM structures, making it fragile to upstream changes. It is an actively developed, production-grade application aimed at automating social media operations.
MediaCrawler is a multi-platform social media data collection tool targeting Chinese platforms: Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili, Weibo, Baidu Tieba, and Zhihu. It uses Playwright browser automation to log in (QR code, phone, cookie) and then scrapes posts, comments, and media files based on search keywords, specific post IDs, or creator IDs. The architecture is a monolith with modular platform-specific crawlers, a shared abstract base layer, and a FastAPI backend that provides a WebUI for visual control. Data can be stored in multiple formats (CSV, JSON, JSONL, SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Excel). Additional features include a robust media downloader with DASH support, proxy rotation, word cloud generation, and privacy-focused anonymization. The codebase demonstrates solid engineering with design patterns (factory, abstract base, mixin), good test coverage, and a clean separation of concerns, though there is some duplication across platform implementations.
