How It Works

1. Content Analysis - AI reads full content, identifies key themes
2. Format Adaptation - Restructures for each platform's constraints
3. Hook Generation - Creates attention-grabbing openings
4. Quote Extraction - Pulls most shareable moments
5. Consistency Check - Ensures message alignment across formats

Best Practices

1. Start with transcripts - Raw transcripts work better than polished content
2. Review hooks - AI-generated hooks need human judgment
3. Edit threads - Check flow between tweets
4. Add context - AI can't know your audience's inside jokes
5. Test variations - Generate multiple versions, pick the best
