Gathers the latest AI trends from platforms like Twitter and Reddit, analyzes the top insights with AI, and organizes them neatly into a Google Sheet every day.
AI TrendsGoogle SheetsData CollectionSocial Media
This workflow automatically gathers the latest and most relevant AI trends discussed on platforms like Twitter (X) and Reddit daily. It analyzes combined search results, filters and ranks key insights, and updates a Google Sheet with structured trend data.
What you need
- A Needle account with access to the workflow platform.
- Connection to Needle's internet search with proper permissions.
- Access to an AI model via Needle.
- A Google account with a Google Sheets connector authenticated.
- A Google Sheet set up with the correct Sheet ID and worksheet named properly.
How the flow works
| Step | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scheduled Trigger | Starts the flow every day at 8 AM UTC automatically. |
| 2 | Dual Internet Search | Runs two searches: one for Twitter/X AI trends and one for Reddit and news. |
| 3 | Merge Node | Combines the two search result sets into one cohesive list. |
| 4 | Code Node | Filters out duplicate URLs and invalid entries to keep only unique, quality results. |
| 5 | AI Analysis | Uses an AI model at a low temperature to extract and rank up to 20 supported AI trends. |
| 6 | Google Sheets Upsert | Adds or updates the extracted trends into a Google Sheet, keyed by rank. |
Output
At the end of each run, the Google Sheet contains an up-to-date list of up to 20 AI trends discussed recently across Twitter, Reddit, and news sources. The sheet is organized by rank and includes detailed descriptions and source links.
Notes
- The workflow explicitly avoids hallucination by instructing the AI agent to only summarize trends clearly supported by the search data.
- Ensure the Google Sheet ID and worksheet name (e.g.,
ai-decide) match what is configured in the flow. - The workflow will throw an error if no valid search results are found, ensuring quality over incorrect trend gathering.
- You can manually run the trigger for testing via the Needle platform toolbar.
- The dual search approach ensures broader coverage from different communities and platforms.
