Vibe coding a daily content radar for the marketing team
A weekend build that reads X + Xiaohongshu + AI-coding every morning and hands marketing a 14-day content calendar. Real dashboard screenshots.
🧪 A GemLabs lab. This is a GemLabs build journal — a weekend experiment in building real workflows with AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex, written up as a hands-on tutorial. If you run marketing or content, the takeaway isn’t this one tool. It’s that you can describe a morning ritual in plain English and have an agent stand it up for you. Steal the pattern.
Our content lead and I had the same conversation every Monday for about three months. “What should we post this week?” — then forty browser tabs of X scrolling, then XHS scrolling, then a Notion doc that nobody reads on Tuesday. By the time we had a calendar, the week was half gone.
So one evening I opened Claude Code and described the thing I actually wanted: every morning at 7am, a system reads everything happening on X, on Xiaohongshu, and on the AI-coding feed (Codex, Claude Code) — distills it into a narrative, picks out rising clusters, writes 8–10 content drafts in two voices, and lays them on a 14-day calendar. By the time I’m at the desk, the work for the week is already drafted. I just edit.
I called it content-radar. Three weekend evenings later it was live for the team.
This post is the build journal plus a tour through what it actually surfaces. The insight panels are the point — most “AI content tools” stop at trending hashtags. This one is built to answer what should we say, not what’s trending.
