Transform Viral Instagram Reels into Original Scripts with AI, Perplexity & Apify

How it works

Please guys, stop staring at a blank page. This workflow turns viral Instagram trends into original scripts for your channel automatically.

• Scrapes Trends: Finds viral reels in your niche using Apify.
• Transcribes: Downloads the video and converts the audio to text.
• Researches: Uses Perplexity to find facts and add depth to the topic.
• Writes: Generates a fresh, unique script based on the viral structure using AI.
• Saves: meaningful content directly to your Google Sheet, ready for filming.

Set up steps

• Apify: You need an account to run the Instagram scraper.
• API Keys: Have your OpenAI (for writing/transcription) and Perplexity (for research) keys ready.
• Google Sheet: Create a sheet with headers for URL, Transcript, and Final Script.
• Credentials: Enter your keys into the node credentials in n8n.
• Test: Start with a low limit (e.g., 1-2 items) to verify the flow.

Who is this for?

• Content Creators: Beat writer's block and post more consistently.
• Social Media Managers: Scale research without hiring a team.
• Agencies: Rapidly repurpose trends for multiple clients.
