Most content ideas are fake. Not because creators are lazy — because they start from the wrong question. "What should I post?" instead of "What did I actually go through this week?" 💭
So I built an agent that solves exactly that. It's called Real Story Content Ideas — every morning at 9 AM it digs through your Notion workspace and finds the stories already sitting there: in your journal, your completed tasks, your notes. But also your emails, your Slack messages, and anything else you decide to connect. Things you lived, not things you invented.
Three ideas. Each one tied to a real source you can go back and verify. And if you already covered a similar angle before, it knows — and skips it.
You can also just ask it directly, whenever. "Give me ideas about last week's client project." Done.
Honestly the best content you have is probably already written. You just haven't looked at it that way yet. 💯

Even though I don't speak Italian, it was fun to watch your video!
