Tips
- Ask ChatGPT to format the trend briefing as a Slack message or email your team can receive each week
- Request a "trend score" for each topic — momentum, relevance to your audience, and posting window
- Ask ChatGPT to compare this week's trends against last week's to identify what is emerging vs fading
