Discover Trending Topics from Top LinkedIn Voices
Save hours of manual research while giving your team a steady stream of trending content ideas. This agent automatically monitors key LinkedIn thought leaders, analyzes their latest posts, and identifies emerging topics gaining traction in your industry. Each week, you’ll receive a concise email summarizing the top five trends, why they resonate, and how your team can use them to shape timely blog posts, campaigns, and social content that stay ahead of the conversation.
This automation kicks off by reading a list of LinkedIn influencers from a Google Sheet you provide. It then visits each influencer's profile to collect their posts from the last week (or a custom number of days). Using AI, it analyzes all the collected posts to:
- Identify the top 5 emerging trends, complete with descriptions and reasons for their popularity.
- Extract notable quotes and insights from the influencers.
- Generate creative content ideas inspired by the identified trends.
Finally, it compiles all this information into a professionally formatted HTML email, including a high-level overview and an appendix of all analyzed posts, and sends it to your specified email address.

- Set the Timeframe: Decide how far back to look for posts, whether it's a week, a month, or any other period.
- Target Your Industry: The core AI analysis can be re-focused from its default of "Marketing and AI" to any industry or topic you're interested in, like finance, healthcare, or software development.
- Customize the Report: Change what the AI looks for, such as different types of trends or recommendations. You can also customize the visual branding and layout of the final email report.
- Choose Your Destination: While it's set up for email, the final report can be sent to other destinations like a Slack channel.
