LLM : Content generation from source media

Watch out for

Airtable attachment URLs expire quickly so you must download and process the file immediately upon trigger to avoid broken links.
LLMs may hallucinate details when describing images so add a verification step or confidence scoring to filter low-quality generations.
Large media files can exceed LLM context windows or timeout limits so implement size checks and preprocessing before sending requests.
Airtable API rate limits are strict so batch updates or add retry logic with exponential backoff to prevent 429 errors.
