What it does
How it works Please guys, stop staring at a blank page. This workflow turns viral Instagram trends into original scripts for your channel automatically. Scrapes Trends: Finds viral reels in your niche using Apify. Transcribes: Downloads the video and converts the audio to text. Researches: Uses Perplexity to find facts and add depth to the topic. Writes: Generates a fresh, unique script based on the viral structure using AI. Saves: meaningful content directly to your Google Sheet, ready for filming. Set up steps Apify: You need an account to run the Instagram scraper. API Keys: Have your OpenAI (for writing/transcription) and Perplexity (for research) keys ready. Google Sheet: Create a sheet with headers for URL, Transcript, and Final Script. Credentials: Enter your keys into the node credentials in n8n. Test: Start with a low limit (e.g., 1-2 items) to verify the flow. Who is this for? Content Creators: Beat writer's block and post more consistently. Social Media Managers: Scale research without hiring a team. Agencies: Rapidly repurpose trends for multiple clients.
