Trending Ad Hook Spotter

Scan social platforms for what's trending in your space right now — viral posts, hot debates, breaking news, memes — and translate each trend into a concrete ad hook you can run while the topic is still hot.

Core principle: The highest-performing ads ride cultural and industry moments. This skill finds those moments before your competitors do and tells you exactly how to capitalize.

When to Use

• "What's trending in our space that we could run ads about?"
• "Find viral hooks for our paid campaigns"
• "What topics are hot in [industry] right now?"
• "I want to ride a trend with a paid campaign"
• "What should we be running ads about this week?"

Prerequisites

• Environment variable: APIFY_API_TOKEN — required for Reddit scraping (optional if using only web_search + HN API)
• Web search access — your AI agent must support web_search or equivalent for Twitter/X and LinkedIn lookups
• No API key needed for Hacker News (Algolia HN API is free and public)
