This prompt turns your X addiction into content assets
How I get 50+ content ideas from 5 trending tweets
Most creators are stuck in one of two painful cycles:
They're reactive content machines—see a trending tweet, quickly respond, hope for a viral moment.
Or they're staring at blank pages, wondering what the hell to write about next.
Meanwhile, trending content is literally a goldmine of proven ideas sitting right there.
My bookmark graveyard problem
Every day I'm scrolling X and constantly see posts that spark newsletter ideas.
Could be while I'm just hanging out on my phone, outside doing something, wherever.
So I bookmark them for later... and then they just fade away.
I'd end up with this huge collection of bookmarked posts, but no time to work through them all. And in AI, everything happens so fast—by the time I got back to them, they felt stale.
I needed a way to solve this problem systematically.
Here's what I built
Instead of letting great ideas rot in bookmark hell, I built the X Content Repurposer—a prompt that turns any trending content into a content goldmine.
The prompt does the research AND the ideation.
Now instead of bookmarks sitting in limbo, I can process 5 posts in 5 minutes and get weeks of content.
You can copy-paste this into Grok and watch it work.
How the prompt works
Here's the breakdown:
Step 1 → Feed it trending X posts (the ones getting engagement in your niche)
Step 2 → Grok's DeepSearch analyzes each post + all the comments and discussions
Step 3 → Output: 3+ unique content ideas per post using proven formats
Step 4 → 5 tweets = 15+ ready-to-develop ideas
Take those 15 ideas and feed them back to Grok or another AI model to expand into:
Full newsletter outlines
LinkedIn post series
Thread breakdowns
Video scripts
Blog post structures
Turn your mindless X scrolling into weeks of tangible content.
The math: 5 posts × 3 ideas each = 15 base ideas, each with multiple angle variations = 50+ possibilities.
