1️⃣ Data Collection: Tracking Daily, Weekly & Monthly Trends

We’ll extend our previous website & social media tracking system to collect:

• Daily Growth (new followers, likes, website visitors)
• Weekly Comparison (current vs. last week)
• Monthly Trends (growth over time)

Step 1: Store Data in a Database

To track long-term trends, we store daily statistics in an SQLite database.

Install SQLite Library

pip install sqlite3 pandas

Create a Database & Store Data

import sqlite3
import datetime

# Connect to SQLite database
conn = sqlite3.connect('social_media_stats.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()

# Create table if not exists
cursor.execute("""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS stats (
    date TEXT,
    platform TEXT,
    likes INTEGER,
    followers INTEGER,
    visitors INTEGER
)
""")

# Insert new data (example)
today = datetime.date.today().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO stats VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)", (today, "Twitter", 50, 10, 0))
conn.commit()
conn.close()

✅ This ensures that historical data is stored for trend analysis.

2️⃣ Generating Daily, Weekly & Monthly Reports

Step 2: Calculate Growth Trends

We extract daily, weekly, and monthly statistics to track progress.

Fetch & Compare Data

import pandas as pd

# Fetch data from the database
conn = sqlite3.connect('social_media_stats.db')
df = pd.read_sql_query("SELECT * FROM stats", conn)
conn.close()

# Convert date column to datetime
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])

# Filter last 7 days
weekly_data = df[df['date'] >= (df['date'].max() - pd.Timedelta(days=7))]

# Aggregate trends
weekly_trends = weekly_data.groupby('platform').sum().reset_index()

print("Weekly Growth Trends:\n", weekly_trends)

✅ This script generates a concise weekly report with likes, followers, and visitors per platform.

3️⃣ AI-Powered Trend Analysis & Recommendations

Watsonx AI can analyze the trends and provide smart insights for managers.

Step 3: Generate AI-Driven Insights

We use IBM Watson Natural Language Processing (NLP) to generate summarized reports.

Install IBM Watson SDK

pip install ibm-watson

Generate AI Insights Based on Data Trends

from ibm_watson import NaturalLanguageUnderstandingV1
from ibm_watson.natural_language_understanding_v1 import Features, SentimentOptions
from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IAMAuthenticator

API_KEY = "YOUR_NLU_API_KEY"
NLU_URL = "YOUR_NLU_SERVICE_URL"

authenticator = IAMAuthenticator(API_KEY)
nlu = NaturalLanguageUnderstandingV1(version="2023-03-15", authenticator=authenticator)
nlu.set_service_url(NLU_URL)

def analyze_trend(trend_text):
    response = nlu.analyze(text=trend_text, features=Features(sentiment=SentimentOptions())).get_result()
    return response['sentiment']['document']['label']

# Generate a summary text
trend_text = f"Twitter gained {weekly_trends['followers'][0]} new followers this week."
sentiment = analyze_trend(trend_text)

print(f"AI Insight: The sentiment of the current trend is '{sentiment}'.")

✅ This AI-driven trend report provides sentiment analysis to highlight growth performance.

4️⃣ Automated Daily, Weekly & Monthly Reports for Managers

We automate reports via email or dashboard.

Step 4: Send Daily Reports via Email

Install Email Library

pip install yagmail

Send AI-Powered Reports to Your Manager

import yagmail

# Email Configuration
EMAIL_USER = "your_email@gmail.com"
EMAIL_PASS = "your_password"

yag = yagmail.SMTP(EMAIL_USER, EMAIL_PASS)

def send_report():
    subject = "📊 AI-Powered Social Media Report - Weekly Trends"
    body = f"""
    Weekly Growth Insights:

    - Twitter gained {weekly_trends['followers'][0]} new followers.
    - Website visitors increased by {weekly_trends['visitors'][0]}.
    - Overall engagement is trending {sentiment}.

    AI-Powered Recommendation:
    Post more content on Twitter between 12PM - 3PM for better reach.
    """
    yag.send(to="manager@example.com", subject=subject, contents=body)

send_report()

✅ This script automatically emails weekly insights & AI-driven recommendations.

5️⃣ Dashboard for Visual Reports

For a real-time overview, we use Streamlit to build an AI-powered dashboard.

Step 5: Install Streamlit

pip install streamlit matplotlib seaborn

Step 6: Create a Live AI Dashboard

import streamlit as st
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Title
st.title("📊 AI-Powered Social Media Trends")

# Display Data
st.dataframe(weekly_trends)

# Plot Growth Trends
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5))
sns.barplot(x=weekly_trends['platform'], y=weekly_trends['followers'], ax=ax)
st.pyplot(fig)

✅ This provides a visual report with AI-powered insights on engagement trends.
