Generate 42+ Viral Content Ideas In Seconds With Kortex AI

A set of three Cortex AI prompts turns personal experience and audience research into large batches of ready-to-write content ideas—often hundreds of angles—from a single input. The core payoff is speed plus specificity: instead of staring at a blank page, creators can generate interview-based title lists, angle variations for one subject, and fully categorized “ID” (idea) outputs that map to different content styles.

The first prompt, dubbed the “2-year-old test,” converts Cortex into an interviewer. It runs a structured interview about the creator’s life over the past two to five years—covering actions taken to expand knowledge, improve health, strengthen relationships, boost financial stability, broaden perspective through new experiences, push comfort zones, develop creativity, and overcome challenges. After the interview, Cortex produces a list of 20 content titles grounded in those answers. The transcript emphasizes that more detail improves results, and it recommends using Cortex’s transcription feature: record voice responses, transcribe them into text, and feed richer context into the interview. The example answers include quitting cigarettes and caffeine, building a learning system, studying psychology and mental models, starting and restarting businesses, and documenting personal growth on YouTube—then translating those specifics into titles like content about addiction recovery, gym mindset, and investing in oneself.

The second prompt focuses on “100 angles with one subject,” turning a single topic into a branching idea engine. It instructs Cortex to act as a brainstorming assistant that generates subtopics and then questions for each subtopic, using quantifiable, proven approaches. The prompt also forces action-oriented framing by requiring each subtopic to start with a verb, while explicitly avoiding overly specific tactics that would lock the output into narrow techniques. The workflow advantage is that Cortex can pull in documents as context—such as an ICP (ideal customer profile) or persona notes—so the AI iterates based on existing workspace material rather than inventing from scratch. In the demonstration, a broad theme about building a business for self-realization becomes multiple subtopics (e.g., aligning a business with values, refining skills, establishing brand identity), and each subtopic yields multiple question prompts that can be turned into newsletters, YouTube videos, or other formats. The same mechanism is shown again with a different subject (modern food and the “prime diet” framing), producing additional angle sets like skills, mistakes, benefits, steps, and success stories.

The final prompt is an “ID generator” designed to produce categorized content ideas. It splits outputs into four ID types—practical, analytical, aspirational, and anthropological (the transcript uses “anthropological” language)—and further organizes them by subthemes such as tips/tools, trends/numbers/reasoning, lessons/errors/personal stories, and failures/struggles/paradoxes/observations. With only a topic description, an audience, and a desired outcome, Cortex generates one idea per subtopic category. The example results include titles like “Five simple shifts to align your business with your source purpose” (practical), “The rise of purpose-driven business” (analytical), and “From burnout to bliss” (aspirational), plus value-measurement concepts like a “freedom score card.”

Taken together, the prompts are positioned as a repeatable system: mine lived experience, expand one topic into many action-based angles, and generate categorized titles that match different audience motivations—so content production becomes a pipeline rather than a daily struggle.
