I built an AI system that monitors 6 competitors and generates 15 client-ready posts every morning while I sleep.
The problem: Agencies spend 17 hours per week manually tracking competitors, extracting patterns, and adapting content. Most insights arrive too late to matter.
The solution: An automated pipeline that watches rivals 24/7 and repurposes winning content into brand-aligned assets. Here's the exact architecture:
Step 1: Competitor Intelligence Layer (Continuous)
- Scrapes Newsletter, Reddit, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, X
- Pulls engagement metrics (likes, views, shares, comments)
- Flags viral content above threshold (2x avg engagement)
- Stores in Airtable with full context
Step 2: Pattern Extraction Engine (Every 6 hours)
- AI analyzes viral posts for hook structure, body format, CTA type
- Extracts psychological triggers and emotion vectors
- Maps patterns to platform and funnel stage
- Ranks by viral indicator score
Step 3: Transformation Cascade (Every morning at 6 AM)
- Loads client brand voice, ICP, content DNA
- Applies pattern to client positioning
- Generates 15-20 variations across platforms
- Outputs: LinkedIn thought leadership, X threads, IG Reels scripts, blog outlines
Step 4: Claude Command Center (On-demand)
- Query: "Show me top 3 competitor trends this week"
- Edit: "Rewrite this for MOFU stage"
- Research: "Find 10 SEO-friendly angles on [keyword]"
- Publish: Auto-posts or queues for review
Current metrics from live client:
- 6 competitors tracked across 5 platforms
- 234 content pieces analyzed in 30 days
- 18 viral patterns extracted
- 127 repurposed assets created
- 5 hours per week freed for strategy
The system runs on n8n workflows + Claude + Airtable.
I'm testing this with 3 more social media agencies or marketing agencies in October. Drop a comment if you are interested in.
