Aggregate discussion sources

Set up IFTTT applets to collect posts from multiple sources: relevant subreddits, Twitter hashtags, and Hacker News threads in your industry. Configure triggers to capture posts with high engagement (100+ upvotes/likes) from the past 24 hours.

OpenAI GPT-4

Generate content angles

Process each high-engagement post through GPT-4 to generate 3-5 unique blog post angles. Prompt: 'Based on this discussion about [topic], suggest 5 blog post titles that would provide value to [target audience]. Include content type (how-to, listicle, case study) and difficulty level.'

3

Airtable

Organize content pipeline

Automatically populate an Airtable content calendar with generated ideas. Include fields for: original discussion link, suggested title, content type, estimated difficulty, trending score, and publication date. Set up views to filter by content type and priority.
