What it does

Every week it pulls fresh trending topics and questions in your subject area, has the model score each by audience relevance and content opportunity, then writes the highest-scoring ones as ready-to-assign briefs in an Airtable backlog. Your writers start each week with a prioritized queue instead of guessing what to cover.

When to use it

When your content pipeline stalls at the ideation stage and you want a steady, data-informed stream of briefs rather than ad-hoc brainstorms. Best for teams who plan editorial calendars from a backlog.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule triggers the run.
  2. 2Exa searches for trending articles, questions, and discussions in your configured topic area.
  3. 3OpenAI summarizes findings and scores each candidate topic for relevance and opportunity.
  4. 4A logic step keeps only topics above the score threshold and dedupes against existing backlog entries.
  5. 5Each surviving topic is written as a structured brief row in Airtable as the final output.
