CONTENT CREATION

Trend-aware shorts angles from a new video

When a video is uploaded, researches what's currently trending in its topic, then writes shorts scripts whose hooks ride those trends, saving angle options to Notion.

What it does

Generates shorts scripts that are deliberately angled toward what's trending right now in the video's subject area. Instead of writing hooks in a vacuum, it pulls live search context first so the clips have a better shot at the algorithm.

When to use it

Reach for this when timing and relevance matter more than evergreen polish — news-adjacent creators, commentary channels, or any team chasing momentum on a topic. It surfaces several competing angles so you can pick the sharpest one.

How it works

  1. 1A new video upload in Dropbox triggers the run.
  2. 2OpenAI transcribes the video and extracts its core topics.
  3. 3Perplexity researches current trends, questions, and conversations around those topics.
  4. 4OpenAI fuses the transcript with the trend findings to write three distinct trend-aware shorts angles, each with a hook and a script.
  5. 5The angle options, with their supporting trend citations, are written to Notion for the creator to choose.
