Deep Research: trend brief for my next content calendar

I am planning a content calendar and I want to know what is actually moving the conversation in my niche right now, not the same evergreen topics.

In Gemini, switch to Deep Research.

My niche: {{niche}}
My audience (be specific): {{audience}}
Channels I post on: {{channels}}
Time horizon for the calendar: {{horizon}}
My brand POV / angle: {{pov}}
Topics already done to death (avoid): {{avoid}}

Produce a trend brief:

1. **The 8 to 12 conversations that are actually hot** in my niche right now - each one: the conversation, where it is happening (publication, podcast, subreddit, LinkedIn corner), why it has heat now, and how long it might last.
2. **Three "rising" topics** that are still small but accelerating, with the signal that suggests they are rising.
3. **Three "fading" topics** that look popular but engagement is dropping.
4. **For each hot conversation: my angle in one line** - how my POV could enter the conversation without being late or generic.
5. **Three contrarian takes** my brand could credibly stake a flag on, with the evidence that backs each one.
6. **Sources** grouped by conversation.

AU first. Quote real headlines and post titles where possible. If a "trend" is just AI-generated noise, mark it that way.
