Short-Form Content Research

What it does

Offers five research modes to find short-form video ideas: manage a competitor list, scrape their content, analyze which posts are outliers, discover trending topics, and run a fast topic-specific research pass, each with its own scoring system.

When to use it

• When you're out of content ideas and need data-backed inspiration.
• When you want to know what your competitors are doing that actually works.
• When you need to validate a topic before investing time producing it.

2. The assistant gathers the relevant content for that mode.
3. It identifies outlier or trending posts.
4. Each idea gets scored according to the research mode.
5. A prioritized list of ideas with reasoning is delivered.
6. You decide which ideas to produce; the report doesn't publish or schedule anything.

## 4. Safety rules

- Safety rules: everything ships as a draft first; nothing is sent, published, or paid for without your explicit approval; no data, numbers, or results are ever invented; no credentials or secrets are typed into chat.

## 5. Best practices

- Always review the full draft before approving any send, publish, or payment.
- If real information (data, numbers, results) is missing, ask for it to be flagged as pending instead of invented.
- Keep credentials and keys out of chat; set them in environment variables or your secrets manager.

## 6. GoHighLevel integration

- Where relevant, results can be saved as contacts, tags, tasks, or notes inside your GoHighLevel sub-account.
- No automation inside GHL (workflow, campaign, trigger) activates without your review first.
