Automated Twitter Thread Generator: From Blog Post to Viral Thread

Twitter (X) hates links. If you just tweet "New blog post! [Link]", nobody will see it. The algorithm suppresses traffic that leaves the platform. The solution? Threads.

But writing threads is tedious. In this guide, we'll build a "Style-Aware" Thread Generator. It doesn't just chop up text; it analyzes your past successful tweets to mimic your unique voice before formatting your blog post.

The "Style-Match" Algorithm

Before generating content, our script asks:

1. Brevity: Do you write short, punchy lines or long paragraphs?
2. Formatting: Do you use emojis? Bullet points?
3. Hooks: How do you start your viral tweets?

Prerequisites

You'll need a SociaVault API Key and your Twitter Handle.

The Generator Script

This Node.js script first "learns" your style, then applies it to a raw blog post.

generate-thread.js

const axios = require('axios');

// CONFIGURATION
const API_KEY = 'YOUR_SOCIAVAULT_API_KEY';
const TWITTER_HANDLE = 'shl'; // Replace with your handle
const BLOG_CONTENT = `
  The 30-Day Content Challenge is the best way to grow your audience.
  Most people fail because they rely on motivation instead of systems.
  By pre-planning 30 days of topics, you remove decision fatigue.
  This allows you to focus purely on execution.
  The result is a consistent feedback loop that trains the algorithm to recognize you.

const headers = {
  'x-api-key': API_KEY,
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};

async function generateThread() {
  try {
    console.log(`🧠 Learning style from: @${TWITTER_HANDLE}`);

    // --- STEP 1: Analyze Past Performance ---
    const tweetsUrl = `https://api.sociavault.com/v1/scrape/twitter/user-tweets?handle=${TWITTER_HANDLE}&trim=true`;
    const tweetsResponse = await axios.get(tweetsUrl, { headers });
    
    const tweets = tweetsResponse.data.data.tweets || [];
    
    // Simple Style Analysis
    let useEmojis = 0;
    let avgLength = 0;
    let useBullets = 0;

    tweets.forEach(tweet => {
      if (tweet.text.match(/[\u{1F600}-\u{1F64F}]/u)) useEmojis++;
      if (tweet.text.includes('•') || tweet.text.includes('- ')) useBullets++;
      avgLength += tweet.text.length;
    });

    const styleProfile = {
      emojiHeavy: useEmojis > (tweets.length / 2),
      bulletHeavy: useBullets > (tweets.length / 3),
      avgLength: Math.floor(avgLength / tweets.length)
    };

    console.log(`\n🎨 Style Profile Detected:`);
    console.log(`   - Emojis: ${styleProfile.emojiHeavy ? 'Yes ✅' : 'No ❌'}`);
    console.log(`   - Bullets: ${styleProfile.bulletHeavy ? 'Yes ✅' : 'No ❌'}`);
    console.log(`   - Avg Length: ${styleProfile.avgLength} chars`);

    // --- STEP 2: Generate Thread (Rule-Based Mock AI) ---
    console.log(`\n📝 Generating Thread...`);
    
    const sentences = BLOG_CONTENT.split('.').filter(s => s.trim().length > 0);
    const thread = [];

    // Tweet 1: The Hook
    let hook = sentences[0].trim();
    if (styleProfile.emojiHeavy) hook = "🧵 " + hook + " 👇";
    thread.push(hook);

    // Tweet 2: The Problem
    let problem = sentences[1].trim();
    if (styleProfile.bulletHeavy) problem = "❌ " + problem;
    thread.push(problem);

    // Tweet 3: The Solution (Body)
    let solution = sentences.slice(2, 4).join('. ').trim() + ".";
    thread.push(solution);

    // Tweet 4: The CTA
    const cta = "Read the full breakdown here: [LINK]";
    thread.push(cta);

    // --- STEP 3: Output ---
    console.log(`\n✨ Your Custom Thread (${thread.length} tweets):`);
    console.log(`----------------------------------------`);
    thread.forEach((t, i) => {
      console.log(`\n[${i + 1}/${thread.length}]`);
      console.log(t);
      console.log(`(${t.length} chars)`);
    });
    console.log(`----------------------------------------`);

  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error generating thread:', error.response ? error.response.data : error.message);
  }
}

generateThread();

Why This Works

1. Consistency

By analyzing your own tweets, the script ensures the new content doesn't sound like a generic bot. If you never use emojis, it won't force them on you.

2. The "Hook-Body-CTA" Structure

The script enforces a proven structure:

• Tweet 1: Hook (Statement of value).
• Tweet 2: Agitation (Why the current way fails).
• Tweet 3: Solution (The core insight).
• Tweet 4: CTA (Link to blog).

3. Character Limits

While this simple script splits by sentences, a production version (using an LLM API) would rewrite sentences to perfectly fit the 280-character limit while maximizing impact.
