Copy This Viral Content Generator System
As content creators, we often face two significant challenges:
Discovering viral or engaging content ideas and actually creating the posts!
Last week, I tested various methods trying to solve these issues, utilizing AI and automation.
However, I wasn't interested in generic AI-generated content; I wanted genuinely engaging material based on real engaging content.
So, I thought about a system that finds popular YouTube videos like this one:
The system then analyzes the video and generates Twitter tweets inspired by the content. Here’s an example of a tweet crafted by the system:
I developed this system using no-code automation tools, making it accessible for anyone to try.
Best of all, it’s free. Try it and watch your content engagement soar!

I increased my MRR by $514 in just one day. 🚀
Here's how I did it:
Back Story:
My website—featuring tools, forums, courses, data libraries, a blog, and more—handled high traffic on Kinsta with a special contract at ~$499
Kinsta is great. No problems there, but $499 felt a bit much.
Thinking it over, my techy brain decided to switch to a dedicated server with Contabo and Plesk.
Now, with 5X resources, my server costs just $180.
Saved $319 ✅
​
Then I thought, why not move my APIs and other websites to Plesk, where I can manage an unlimited number of sites?
So that's exactly what I did! By relocating them, I saved an additional ~$100 ✅
​
Next, I considered migrating from Postmark, the transactional email service, to Plesk.
I configured the SMTP on Plesk and had everything up and running in just 2 hours.
This move saved me another $55 ✅
​
Now, I looked back on my expenses on Notion.
I noticed Zapier was costing me $69 a month.
I switched to Make for $19, rebuilt all my automation systems, and saved another $40 ✅
​
Total saved: $319 + $40 + $55 + $100 = $514.
​
The moral of the story is always to review your expenses. See which services you can eliminate or migrate to achieve the same results at a lower cost.
​
Analyzing 600K YouTube Videos!
I started analyzing ~600K YouTube Videos.
Why?
I want to Build a Dataset of successful YouTube videos.
Then, Analyze the Popular videos and build:
- AI model that generates the best YouTube titles. I am trying to improve my YouTube Title Generator.​
- AI model that can score thumbnails and titles. And built a tool on top of that.
I will share the dataset and the results soon. Stay Tuned 🔥

AI Agents Part 2: Reflection Pattern
In my last newsletter, I mentioned that I would be sharing a section teaching about AI agents.
This week, we will start with Agentic Design Patterns, and we will start with the first Design:
🔄 REFLECTION
Before Agents, we used to prompt an LLM and then ask it to check its output and provide feedback.
Now, With Agents, we can run this workflow n times to get way better results.
Example of a 2 Agents Reflection Pattern:
P.S.: If you would like to learn how to build AI Agents from scratch, you can check out this free guide.​

Thought: ChatGPT Is Increasing Stupidity
Last week, I had a one-on-one Python teaching session with a friend.
After 1 week, I gave him multiple exercises, and he completed them very quickly. It was clear he was using ChatGPT.
So, I decided to test him with simple exercises but without an internet connection.
As I expected, he didn't even know what a variable is!
​
Sorry to say, but ChatGPT is making CS Students stupid.
We have to rethink our curriculums and teaching methods!
Thoughts?
