LLM Can't Search TikTok or Reddit. This Free Open-Source Tool Does

Matt Van Horn, the famous creator of /last30days shows what his tool can do Presented by Zapier: https://zapier.com Say hi to Andrew: [email protected] Matt’s repo: https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30day... Andrew Warner talks with Matt Van Horn, creator of the Last30Days skill, an open-source tool that helps AI agents research what people are saying right now across X, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, GitHub, Techmeme, Polymarket, research papers, and more. Matt explains why normal AI search often misses the best current information: models are blocked from major platforms, old posts can outrank useful new ones, and each AI company has access to different parts of the internet. Last30Days solves that by focusing on recent discussions and pulling together data from the places where builders, creators, investors, and internet communities are actually talking. 00:00 - Coming up 00:27 - Matt Van Horn introduces Last30Days 00:36 - Researching Fable 5 vs GPT-5.6 with Last30Days 01:03 - Why recent social data matters more than old search results 02:06 - Why AI tools are blocked from X, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, and more 02:51 - How Last30Days started with X, Reddit, and Claude Code 03:36 - Matt’s first open-source launch 04:48 - API keys, Scrape Creators, and getting access to better sources 06:00 - Why agents sometimes fake Last30Days results 06:45 - Doctor mode and checking whether the tool is set up correctly 07:39 - Recommended setup for X, YouTube, Dig, Techmeme, papers, and Scrape Creators 08:06 - How Last30Days pulls together current research from blocked platforms 08:33 - GPT-5.6 vs Fable 5 community reaction 09:45 - Why comments are one of the most useful data sources 10:48 - Using Fable 5 for routing and GPT-5.6 for execution 11:51 - Last30Days researches Andrew and The Next New Thing 13:39 - How Matt uses Last30Days before meetings 14:24 - Running Last30Days inside Hermes, OpenClaw, and cron workflows 14:51 - Using Last30Days to find what works in cold email right now 15:18 - Using recent expert posts to improve prompts 16:21 - Comparing tools before choosing what to build with 17:33 - How Peter Steinberger’s Google CLI inspired The Printing Press 18:36 - Using Last30Days to understand current tool and prompt trends 18:45 - Kanye West, album drops, and Polymarket examples 20:24 - Watch the open-source GitHub repo breakdown next
