Ask me about a project like this

Today

Hi, I’m Ansh. I built Social Research Bot. Ask me anything about it.

I’ve typed your first question below. Just press send.

What does the Social Research Bot do?

Every morning at 7 it finds what’s trending, has AI pick and explain the useful topics, and sends a short brief to Telegram. The content ideas are waiting before you’re up.

Type: n8n automation
Runs: Every day at 7am
Uses: Serper, Groq, Telegram
Result: Daily trends, no manual research

What was the old routine?

A desk on a hilltop with a vintage radio, notes and paper planes flying into the sky — Before, more or less

An hour of scrolling X and Google Trends, copying topics into notes, then deciding what to post. Every day, before any real work.

Can it post for me too?

It can. This one sends ideas to Telegram, so a person still decides what goes public. Posting to LinkedIn or X is one more step.

Can it watch my industry instead?

Yes. Swap the search for your keywords, competitors or subreddits, or for Google News, RSS or YouTube, and the brief becomes a daily watch on your market.
