Mine TikTok Comments for Your Next Video Ideas with AI

An n8n workflow that scrapes the comments on your recent TikToks, has Claude cluster the questions and requests into concrete video ideas, and delivers a weekly 'what to film next' brief to Notion — so your content calendar is powered by what your audience is actually asking for.

  1. 1

    Run weekly

    A Schedule Trigger set to Weeks on, say, Sunday evening gives you a fresh brief before the week's filming. Weekly cadence keeps Apify usage tiny and the ideas current.

  2. 2

    Scrape recent TikTok comments

    An HTTP Request runs an Apify TikTok comments actor against your profile or a list of your recent video URLs. It returns comment text, like counts and timestamps — the raw voice of your audience.

  3. 3

    Cluster into ideas with Claude

    An HTTP Request to Claude sends the comment texts with a prompt to ignore spam, group by theme, and return strict JSON: an array of 10 objects, each with a title (a filmable video idea), an angle (one line), and a demand count of how many comments pointed to it.

  4. 4

    Split the ideas

    An Item Lists node splits Claude's array into one item per idea so each becomes its own Notion card. Sorting by demand first means your highest-requested ideas rise to the top of the list.

  5. 5

    Create Notion cards

    A Notion node creates a page per idea in your content database, mapping title, angle and demand into properties plus a status of Idea. Monday morning you open Notion to a ranked list of exactly what your audience asked you to make.

Frequently asked questions

Why comments instead of trend tools?

Trend tools tell you what's popular everywhere; your comments tell you what YOUR audience wants from YOU. The gap between those two is where loyal-audience growth lives. This workflow surfaces the recurring 'can you make a video about…' and 'but what about…' comments that are pure content gold.

How does it turn messy comments into ideas?

Claude reads all the comments at once and is prompted to cluster them by theme, ignore spam and emoji-only replies, and phrase each cluster as a specific, filmable video title with a one-line angle. You get ten ready-to-shoot ideas, not a raw comment dump.

Can I send the brief somewhere other than Notion?

Yes — swap the final node for Slack, email, Google Docs or a Trello board. Notion is the default because it doubles as a content calendar: each idea becomes a card you can drag from 'idea' to 'filming' to 'posted'. The AI output is plain structured JSON, so any destination works.
