The problem it solves

Coming up with fresh content ideas week after week is exhausting, and it's easy to lose touch with what your audience is actually asking about. You want ideas grounded in real questions, not guesses.

Who it fits

A content marketer or creator looking for content ideas based on real audience questions.

How it works

  1. Automation runs on a schedule and searches chosen subreddits for keywords
  2. Posts are filtered to keep only relevant, valuable questions
  3. AI turns each question into a structured content idea
  4. Ideas are added to a Google Sheet for easy review
What you get

Content ideas pulled from real reader questions

You get a running list of content ideas drawn from real questions your audience is already asking on Reddit, ready to review.

What you get

A running Google Sheet of content ideas sourced from real Reddit questions.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an OpenAI account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
