The Workflow
Seed the Voice Identity Agent
Upload 5-10 of your best past articles or social posts to a CrewAI 'Identity' agent. This agent uses the Google SDK to extract your unique sentence structures, vocabulary, and 'Hot Takes'.
Watch out: Avoid seeding the agent with generic marketing copy; use raw, opinionated text to capture your true personality.
Trigger Trend Monitoring via Google SDK
Configure a daily task that searches for your 'Core Topics' using the Google Search SDK. The 'Spy Agent' filters for high-impact news that allows for a 'Contrarian' take.
Watch out: Limit the search to the last 24 hours to ensure your content is always fresh and first-to-market.
Draft and Stage Posts for Approval
The Ghostwriter agent drafts the posts and sends them to your preferred distribution tool (or a simple Google Sheet) for one-click approval.
Watch out: Instruct the AI to include a 'Hook' in the first 80 characters specifically designed for mobile LinkedIn users.
