Turn X into a niche research engine: traction posts → five video ideas
Finding a good idea often blocks creators more than making the content.
What hurt
Scotty Beam (@ScottyBeamIO) uses Grok Bot's built-in X search/read/monitor without a separate X connector setup. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Give a niche, a time window and a usable output. One request: posts gaining traction in 24h with source links, why people respond, and five original video ideas—then feed that brief into a content bot.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins

Optional
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Niche traction research brief (author-quoted)
Quoted from @ScottyBeamIO — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Find posts in my niche gaining traction in the last 24 hours. Include source links, explain what people are responding to, and suggest five original video ideas for my audience.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/ScottyBeamIO/status/2109255139223580988 (credit @ScottyBeamIO).
- 2Paste the author's research request with your niche filled in.
- 3Skim source links and keep only angles that fit your audience.
- 4Hand the five ideas to your content bot as a brief.
- 5Draft one piece; publish only after you approve the exact text.
Approval fence
Research only; publishing still needs your yes on the exact post.
What to tweak
Clear niche + time window + usable output beats a vague "find ideas".
