The problem it solves

Coming up with fresh, timely content ideas means constantly checking what's trending across multiple sites, which is easy to fall behind on. By the time you notice a trend, it's often already old news.

Who it fits

Content creators, marketers, or social media managers who want a steady stream of timely content ideas.

How it works

  1. Every couple of hours, the system checks trending posts on Reddit and Google Trends
  2. It filters results down to your niche keywords and removes duplicates
  3. It scores each trend for viral potential and relevance
  4. AI generates several content ideas with hooks and key points for each trend
  5. You get an email digest and a Slack summary with all the opportunities
What you get

Content ideas ready before a trend fades

You get a steady stream of timely content ideas pulled from what's trending in your niche.

What you get

An email digest and Slack summary of trending topics with ready-to-use content ideas for each.

What you need

Reddit API access, an Anthropic Claude API key, a database for logging, email, and Slack.

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.
