What it does

This is the deep-research version of trend-to-brief. An agent takes a trending topic, researches it across Brave Search and Perplexity to gather verifiable facts and angles, then writes a fact-grounded short-form video brief with citations. It generates a thumbnail and a draft voiceover track from the script so the creator can hear the pacing before shooting. Everything is assembled into a single Notion page.

When to use it

Use it for topics where accuracy matters, such as explainers, finance, or news commentary, and where a scratch voiceover speeds up production. Best when you want more than a templated outline and are willing to let an agent reason over multiple sources.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule or manual run provides the trending topic.
  2. 2The agent searches Brave for breaking angles and Perplexity for grounded facts and citations.
  3. 3The agent drafts a fact-checked brief and a tight voiceover script.
  4. 4Generate Image renders the thumbnail from the brief.
  5. 5ElevenLabs produces a draft voiceover from the script.
  6. 6The agent assembles the brief, citations, thumbnail, and audio into one Notion page.
