@tomcrawshaw01 SKILL

Writing viral posts will never be a struggle again... I packaged every context file, example, and framework that got me 4.5M+ impressions into one Claude skill. Just upload it to your project and Claude instantly references: - 20+ tweets with 100K+ views each - Proven hook formulas - Writing principles that actually work - Real feedback on what converts (and what flops) Most people prompt Claude with zero context and wonder why their posts sound generic. They're basically asking it to write blind. This skill changes that completely. You upload it once to your Claude account and it becomes part of Claude's memory. Now when you say "write a post about X," Claude pulls from battle-tested patterns. - It knows which hooks are overused and market-fatigued. - It understands how to structure posts for maximum engagement. - It references actual examples that crushed it. The skill teaches Claude to write posts that actually convert, and it never runs out of fresh angles. Claude gets better the more you use it together, because you can keep adding to the skill over time. This is the new way to add context to AI. No more copy-pasting examples into every chat. No more re-explaining your style from scratch. Follow + comment "SKILL" and I'll DM you the file

@mikefutia REELS

This Instagram Reels AI agent is absolutely wild 🤯 It scrapes trending Reels in your niche, analyzes them with AI, and extracts every creative insight you need. All inside n8n + Airtable. Perfect for DTC brands & agencies who need to know what's working on Instagram before they create content. Here's the problem: Manual Instagram research takes forever. You're scrolling for hours, screenshotting videos, manually noting hooks, trying to remember what worked. And by the time you act on it, the trend is dead. This n8n automation solves it: → Enter a keyword (e.g., "skincare", "fitness", "productivity") → AI scrapes trending Instagram Reels automatically → Writes all videos to Airtable with views, likes, comments → Click "Analyze Video" button in Airtable → Gemini watches each video and extracts: Hook, Proof Point, Theme → Click "Analyze Comments" for instant comment insights No manual scrolling. No spreadsheets. No missing trends. What you get in Airtable: → Video URL, creator handle, performance metrics → AI-extracted hooks (what stopped the scroll) → Proof points (what built credibility) → Creative themes (the narrative structure) → Comment insights (what the audience is asking) Built 100% in n8n.

@Zephyr_hg News

I never run out of content to post anymore. Built an automation that monitors 50+ news sources, scores articles for relevance, and writes social posts automatically. It finds trending topics in my niche before they explode everywhere else. Saves me 15-20 hours monthly and keeps me ahead of every trend. Comment "NEWS" and I'll DM it to you (must be following)

@emollick I feel like you're being misunderstood a bit here. The word 'sycophancy' is misleading. You're getting at the problem of leading questions or embedded assumptions, right? We all unintentionally do that, and and it's really hard not to!

I am starting to think sycophancy is going to be a bigger problem than pure hallucination as LLMs improve. Models that won’t tell you directly when you are wrong (and justify your correctness) are ultimately more dangerous to decision-making than models that are sometimes wrong.

@OpenAI You guys can't stop shipping, it's like shipmas all over again. Love it!

Thanks @daisyturnell - glad it was useful. Always here for questions 😊

@OpenAI there's no clear info on what the context windows are in the different models within ChatGPT. Do you have that somewhere? Even if the numbers vary based on demand, it'd be really great to have that info 😊

@HBCoop_ They're all great, but RunwayML feels like it's an image with movement added. Hailuo created a real scene with human activity and emotion. That's way more useful. Nice comparison!

🎥 Comparing AI video models: Image to video • Gen-3 • Kling AI 1.5 • Hailuo MiniMax • Luma Dream Machine I used a Midjourney image in each model 4 times with no text prompt. This type of image is difficult for the AI to separate the subject in the front from the people behind her - they tend to move the group as if they are a single unit. But the results were interesting, as you can see! I chose my favorite results, below.

@bentossell Damn. Feel free to email me a screenshot of ad and lp if you want a warm take on it 👍
