The problem it solves

Coming up with fresh social content ideas and writing threads that actually perform takes hours of research and drafting, and most of what you try never takes off. You need a faster way to spot what's already working and adapt it.

Who it fits

Content creators, marketers, or social media managers who want to turn proven video content into social posts.

How it works

  1. You submit a keyword, audience, and content type
  2. The system searches YouTube for recent, high-performing videos on that topic
  3. It filters down to the videos with the strongest view counts
  4. AI reviews the top videos and extracts the key insights
  5. AI drafts several X thread variations, saved for you to review and post
What you get

Thread ideas pulled from proven videos

You get fresh X thread ideas pulled from the best-performing videos on your topic, drafted and waiting whenever you want to post them.

What you get

Ready-to-post X thread drafts based on proven video content, saved for your review.

What you need

A YouTube Data API key, a Google Gemini API key, an Anthropic API key, and a Google Sheets 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.
