What it does

Every morning this workflow scans Brave Search for rising topics in your niche, scores them for relevance, and turns the winner into a ready-to-shoot short-form video brief. The brief lands in your Notion content board with a hook, beat-by-beat script outline, on-screen captions, a suggested CTA, and an AI-generated thumbnail image attached.

When to use it

Use it when your team produces daily Reels, Shorts, or TikToks and burns hours every morning deciding what to make. It removes the blank-page problem by handing creators a fully scoped brief tied to something actually trending right now.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule fires at your chosen time.
  2. 2Brave Search returns trending and recent results for your topic seeds.
  3. 3A logic step scores each topic against your niche keywords and recency, then keeps the top match.
  4. 4An OpenAI step writes the video brief: hook, script beats, captions, CTA, and a thumbnail prompt.
  5. 5Generate Image renders the thumbnail from that prompt.
  6. 6The brief and thumbnail are created as a new page in your Notion content calendar, ready for a creator to claim.
