Scrape my X bookmarks into a searchable Notion database every 6 hours

Jeston Lu built an AI that scrapes his saved X posts every six hours and auto-categorises them into a Notion database so the archive stays searchable, with screenshots of the database shared in his post. The build drew strong engagement (1.6k+ likes) as a fix for bookmarks piling up and being forgotten.

How it works

  1. Bot fetches new X bookmarks since the last run every six hours
  2. Opens each post and extracts author, URL, text and topics
  3. Writes a one-line why-it-matters summary
  4. Upserts a row into the Notion database, skipping duplicates

Why it’s worth knowing

The bot turns a graveyard of saved posts into a living, categorised research archive on its own clock.
