Send daily trending social posts as content references
An OpenClaw agent uses a social data API to send the author a morning digest of trending posts across X, Threads and LinkedIn to inform their own content.
Done with OpenClaw
What they did
The author built socialcrawl, a single-API-key service that pulls data from 21+ social platforms, and connected it to OpenClaw. Each morning the agent sends them the posts trending across X, Threads and LinkedIn over the previous 24 hours. The author then uses those posts as benchmarks and references when writing their own content.
How it went
The author reports that over the following week their posts reached 100K views on Threads and gained 200 followers. The source gives no figures for X or LinkedIn.
Worth knowing
The author built and promotes socialcrawl themselves, and the results are self-reported over one week; the service offers 100 free credits on signup.
