How I would clone their main feature (swipe deck) in a day.

The main functionality:

You input a keyword, the app returns list of tweets related to the keyword.
You have the option of generating a similar tweet to a tweet that you selected from 1).

Functionality 1: Indexing Tweets

Let’s go over indexing tweets first. Indexing tweets requires 2 parts, scraping all the tweets, then recommending the tweets.

There are 500M new tweets a day

We need to just scrape the quality tweets with high engagement.

Let's say we want to just start with the copywriting niche. How do we do it? Read ahead..

We will be applying BFS (breadth first search) to finding other related accounts in the same niche.

We need to find one major copywriting account, scrape all their tweets. Here's the key part: we should scrape all the tweets of their following list as well.

Now that we have all the tweets, how will we store these tweets?

There are multiple ways of doing search. You can either use a direct keyword search (In SQL you can just use %LIKE%, or use openAI embedding.

For simplicity sake, let's go with direct keyword search.

This means, if the user searches for the word "blogging", we will run a SQL query to gather all the tweets that have the word "blogging"

Now we have all the tweets indexed and search is implemented, we need the second part which is generating a similar tweet to the one that you selected.

This part is much easier..

Functionality 2: Generating a similar tweet

We can take the tweet, and give it to OpenAI GPT (use the Davinci model)

That's it! With a little SQL and some GPT magic, we got it..

Other business ideas:

Ads: Instead of having an tweets library, have an ads library that users can draw inspiration from.
Influencer: Create a database of influencers
