Turn TikTok Data into 30 AI Ideas
Introduction
Ever stared at your drafts and wondered what to post next — and why it should work?
This post shows a reproducible, data-first workflow to turn your TikTok performance into 30 AI-generated video ideas you can batch in an hour. It’s written for small brands and creators who want consistent growth without guesswork.
What Ignission does (short primer)
Ignission is an intelligent content engine built for TikTok creators. It connects to your TikTok account, analyzes past video performance to identify what resonates, and generates new tailored content ideas on a daily or weekly cadence. It supports a continuous content engine methodology: Create → Analyze → Iterate → Repeat. (Source: Ignission homepage). citeturn0view0
Why data + AI beats guesswork
- Data reveals the exact hooks, formats, and lengths your real audience prefers — much stronger than copying broad trends. (See Ignission’s approach to analyzing unique content signals). citeturn0view0
- AI scales idea generation into ready-to-record scripts, captions, and CTAs so creators can batch produce without wasting time.
Quick overview: What you’ll get
- A 7-step workflow to convert 30–90 days of TikTok data into 30 ready-to-record ideas.
- Templates and prompts you can use with ChatGPT or inside Ignission to generate hooks, captions, and hashtag packs.
- A 60-minute batching plan to shoot, edit, and schedule a month of content.
The 7-step Data→AI→Batch workflow (what to do)
- Sync or export your last 60–90 days of TikTok posts (views, avg watch time, completion rate, likes, comments, saves). If you use a tool like Ignission you can sync automatically. citeturn0view0turn2search3
- Rank videos by average view duration and engagement rate (these are stronger signals than raw likes). citeturn0view0turn2search3
- Pick your top 6 anchor videos — these are the pattern sources.
- Break each anchor into 5 data-driven templates (hook type, format, pacing, sound).
- Feed each template into an AI prompt to get 5 idea variations (that’s 6 anchors × 5 variations = 30 ideas). Use the example prompts below. citeturn1search1
- Quick-filter the 30 ideas to 20 that you’ll batch shoot.
- Batch film using the 60-minute plan below, post, then re-run the loop weekly.
The metrics to prioritize
- Average view duration / percent viewed — tells you if your hook held attention. (TikTok analytics overview). citeturn2search3
- Completion rate — strong signal for the recommendation algorithm. citeturn0view0
- Comment rate & saves — indicate emotional resonance and usefulness. citeturn0view0
AI prompt templates (copy & paste)
- Hook-first short script
"Write a 15–30 second TikTok script for a [niche] audience. Start with this hook: '[HOOK]'. Keep it under 40 words, include one surprise detail, and end with 'Follow for more [TOPIC] tips.'"
- Format-to-idea converter
"Given format: [FORMAT] (e.g., demo, transformation, POV). Use these assets: [ASSETS]. Suggest 5 video ideas, 1-sentence hooks, and 3 caption variants with hashtags."
- Sound-driven angle
"Idea prompts for trending sound '[SOUND NAME]': 5 hooks tailored to [NICHE], 2 CTAs, and recommended caption."
(These prompt structures are adapted from Ignission resources). citeturn1search1
60-minute batching plan (step-by-step)
- 0–10 min: Pick 3–4 ideas and write quick shot list.
- 10–35 min: Film 6–8 clips (2–3 takes per idea; vary hook/CTA).
- 35–50 min: Quick edit: trim to first 3 seconds, add captions, pick thumbnail frame.
- 50–60 min: Schedule 4–6 posts and note which idea+format each uses.
Example: From one viral anchor to a week of content
If a product demo with a curiosity hook did well:
- Day 1: Same demo, different feature.
- Day 2: Customer POV using the same hook.
- Day 3: 3 mistakes list using the demo's outcome.
- Day 4: Remix with a trending sound, keep the hook as on-screen text.
- Day 5: Reaction to comments about the demo.

Hashtag & caption cheat-sheet
- 1 niche hashtag + 2 trend-related hashtags + 1 brand tag.
- Short caption with CTA: question or a micro-challenge (e.g., "Which one surprised you? Comment below").
- Use the caption to plant a comment prompt for the algorithm (ask for a specific comment to increase early engagement).
Common pitfalls & how to avoid them
- Don’t delete low-performing videos — the algorithm can surface them later. (HubSpot best-practice). citeturn2search1
- Don’t copy broad trends without matching your audience — use your data patterns as the backbone. citeturn0view0
- Avoid over-optimizing hooks that feel inauthentic — test small variations instead.
