Daria!! You already are the treasure! I’m just handing out maps 🔥 So glad the Shortcuts deep dives are landing. I swear, this app is the most slept-on AI bridge out there. Can’t wait to see what kind of magic you build with it. Let’s keep unlocking new levels together 💡💥

Cool breakdown Tiff. Gives me so many more ideas on what could be done with the RSS fees. Do you have iPhone workflows that help with creating engaging social media content too?

YES! I have several shortcuts that handle exactly this. One creates platform-specific posts (LinkedIn vs Twitter vs Instagram), another breaks down any article into 7-10 social posts with different angles.

I use text boxes with variables for my prompts instead of typing directly into ChatGPT. Way cleaner, more consistent, and you can build these massive strategic prompts without fighting that tiny input box.

My social media automation literally takes one article and spits out a week's worth of content while I'm drinking coffee. The key is having platform-specific prompt templates that understand LinkedIn wants thought leadership, Twitter wants hot takes, and Instagram wants behind-the-scenes energy.

I love it Tiff. This is really cool. I had this exact thing in mind once i saw the RSS thingy :) I am just doing this with python via claude but love the idea of using shortcuts. I am gonna try. Thanks for sharing this workflow and opening my mind!

Wait, what's the shortcuts app and how do I use it? My iphone wants to give me useless crap like a "shazam shortcut."

Right?? Apple’s out here flexing their cameras (which, fair — they’re great). But I’m over here screaming: “Y’all! There’s a full-blown automation engine hiding in your phone next to the Stocks app no one uses.”

Well, truth is I got pretty turned around. After 15 minutes, I abandoned the project. I can put my link directly into ChatGPT and it can do it for me and it’s easier.

My brain isn’t that technical.

Sure it takes ten minutes! For you!

This is like one of those messages that says: it's easy to pull your brokerage account data into this investment tracking spreadsheet: just use this python script...(mind immediately fogs over...)

Haha yes, I totally get that feeling — but I promise this one’s different. No Python, no foggy brain! You just gotta open the Shortcuts app and play around a little. If I can do it, you can absolutely do it. The learning curve is short, and the payoff is spicy!

Truly appreciate your series of shortcuts :)
