3M views in 3 months, all from this automation that snipes early trending stories on X
A few months ago, I noticed something.
There’s this guy who calls himself RPN. If you’re chronically online like me and in the AI creator space, you’ve probably seen his posts.
He’s always first on stuff.
If OpenAI sneezes, he’s already got a 90-second video breaking it down.
He recently was on a podcast with Greg Isenberg and said the only thing that made him successful was his speed in talking about new stories. In his words:
“Speed isn’t about posting more. It’s about owning the 12–24 hour window when the internet’s still hungry for context about something.”
So I decided to build an automation that helps me reach his level of speed in talking about new trending stories.

I call it my Social Media Story Scraper.
Here’s what it does:
1️⃣ Scrapes 50-100 tweets every 5 minutes from specific X Lists with startups, founders, tech icons, and influencers.
2️⃣ Runs it through an AI Agent to detect what topics are starting to explode (not what’s already gone mainstream).
3️⃣ Clusters stories into early trend groups like “AI Video Gen with Sora" and brings back the top 10 hottest tweets.
4️⃣ Uses Perplexity AI to research each story and gather factual background.
5️⃣ Generates creative content ideas with hooks, angles, even suggested visuals.
6️⃣ Sends everything in a Newsletter style report to my email so I can have a daily digest of stories worth covering.

Since launching it 3 months ago, I’ve only been posting 2-3 times a week on Reddit but I'm hitting 2.9 million impressions and just getting warmed up.
If anybody is a beginner or even an n8n power user, this is a great automation to work on because you'll quickly learn scraping, AI Agents, using nodes like "aggregate" and "split out", plus creating a full stylized newsletter with HTML.
If you want to download the automation and use it for your own use case the workflow is now available in the "VIRAL CONTENT CREATOR" section of the classroom!
