The AI System That Reverse-Engineers Viral Content (While You Sleep)
This n8n workflow found the formula behind viral TikToks

Hey Everyone,
Ever wonder how some TikToks get 2 million views while yours get 47?
I just reverse-engineered something that made my jaw drop.
It's an n8n automation that monitors viral content across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook and creates step-by-step playbooks for recreating that success.
Here's What This Beast Actually Does:
🔍 Multi-Platform Intelligence Gathering
Monitors 6 major social platforms through webhook triggers
Automatically scrapes content based on hashtags and competitor profiles
Filters TikTok content for 200K+ views before analysis
Tracks top performers across all platforms (1000+ engagement threshold)
🧠 AI-Powered Content Analysis
Performs GPT-4O sentiment analysis on 15-20 comments per viral post
Extracts audience pain points and common questions
Scores content on 1-5 scales for sentiment and tool usefulness
Analyzes platform-specific engagement patterns
📊 Intelligent Data Processing
Removes duplicates based on previous workflow executions
Stores data in organized Airtable "Audience Intelligence" database
Tracks metrics: views, likes, shares, comments, saves, duration
Captures music trends, hashtags, and posting timestamps
🚀 Viral Playbook Generation
Uses GPT-4O to create detailed HTML content blueprints
Generates platform-specific captions and hooks
Provides audience avatar breakdowns
Creates repurpose strategies across channels
Automatically uploads playbooks to Google Drive as formatted docs
The Part That Blew My Mind:
This system doesn't just collect data—it automatically creates Google Docs with complete viral content strategies.
Each AI-generated playbook includes:
Proven viral hooks that stop the scroll
Word-for-word video scripts
Platform-specific caption variations (TikTok & Instagram ready)
Target audience insights with age ranges and interests
Repurposing angles for maximum reach
Pro tips for execution
Real Example: It found a TikTok with 200K+ views, analyzed the top 15 comments for sentiment patterns, identified the emotional triggers, and generated a complete content blueprint with audience avatar and repurpose strategy.
Why This Changes Everything:
Instead of guessing what content will work, you're literally copying the blueprint from posts that already have millions of views.
It's like having a team of social media analysts working 24/7 to decode viral content patterns—except it costs nothing after setup.
The Technical Breakdown:
This n8n workflow uses:
12+ Apify actors for social media scraping
OpenAI integration for sentiment analysis and content generation
Airtable APIs for data management and deduplication
Google Drive integration for automated playbook creation
Webhook triggers for seamless automation
The workflow handles everything:
Error handling and retry logic
Rate limiting and API optimization
Duplicate prevention across executions
Multi-platform content formatting
Automated status tracking
Best part? Once you set it up, it runs completely hands-off.
You wake up to fresh viral content strategies delivered to your Google Drive, based on the latest high-performing posts in your niche.
I'm sharing the complete n8n workflow file—all of it + it’s airtable base.
This is the exact system running behind the scenes for content creators pulling 7-figure audiences.
