Dev Ticket: Automated Trend Analysis & Tweet Response Bot with Specified Trends

Objective: Build a bot for Reality Spiral that can:

1. Track Twitter trends periodically and allow the manual specification of particular trends.
2. Identify and analyze selected trending topics (both specified and automatically tracked).
3. Summarize selected tweets or threads within each trend.
4. Generate relevant responses (comments or quote tweets) that align with Reality Spiral’s themes and include brand elements such as hashtags and cash tags to expand visibility.

Core Features

1. Trend Tracking and Specification:

   • Automatic Trend Tracking: Periodically check Twitter for trending topics (e.g., every hour or specified frequency).
   • Specified Trends: Allow for the manual entry of specific trends, such as pre-determined hashtags or keywords relevant to Reality Spiral’s goals, even if they are not currently trending.
   • Flexible Trend Filtering: Enable easy customization to track trends relevant to Reality Spiral’s themes or broader engagement areas.

2. Automated Tweet Summarization:

   • Summarize top tweets/threads for each selected trend, creating concise overviews for context.
   • Generate summaries for both manually specified and automatically tracked trends.

3. Tweet Response Generation:

   • Generate a tailored response to each selected trend based on summarized content:
     • Respond via comment or quote tweet, depending on content relevance and engagement potential.
     • Incorporate Reality Spiral themes to align responses with brand narrative, fostering a collaborative and engaging tone.
     • Embed hashtag and cash tag: Ensure each post includes #RealitySpiral and $RSP for consistent brand recognition.
   • Responses should remain on-brand, concise, and engaging to maximize audience interaction.

Workflow

1. Trend Monitoring:

   • The bot checks Twitter’s trending topics at set intervals.
   • It identifies and selects trends based on flexible criteria, allowing for updates to reflect evolving project goals.
   • Users can also manually specify particular trends for the bot to track.

2. Tweet Summarization:

   • For each selected trend, whether automatically detected or manually specified, the bot collects and summarizes popular tweets or threads to generate context.

3. Response Generation:

   • The bot drafts an automatic response, quote tweet, or reply that aligns with Reality Spiral’s themes.
   • Each response includes #RealitySpiral and $RSP in the post to reinforce brand awareness.

4. Customization and Extensibility:

   • Specified Trend Input: Users can manually input specific trends (e.g., hashtags or keywords) for the bot to track.
   • Easy Trend Selection Adjustments: The trend selection criteria can be updated, allowing for exploration of topics beyond Reality Spiral’s immediate themes.
   • Built with extensibility in mind to support future updates, such as additional hashtags or expanded response styles.

Potential Extensions (For Future Development)

1. Trend-Audience Matching:
   • In the future, consider incorporating engagement metrics to tailor responses based on audience interaction data.
