Sundar Pichai (@sundarpichai) has 18 posts in the library. Between them they drew 77,730 likes; the typical one reaches 1,894, and the biggest reached 23,316. Most of that work is about AI, Product and Science. This is what the posts themselves say about how they write — not a profile, a pattern.

What they write about

  • AI — 11 of 18 posts (61%)
  • Product — 5 of 18 posts (28%)
  • Science — 4 of 18 posts (22%)

Two or three subjects rather than one: a reader who follows for the first gets the others, which is how a niche account becomes a general one.

How they open

  • 67% of posts open with an observation
  • 17% of posts open with a number
  • 11% of posts open with an announcement

Half or more of their posts open the same way — an observation. That is a signature, and it is worth reading the three below with that in mind: the move is the same, the subject changes.

You went 🍌🍌 for Nano Banana. Now, meet Nano Banana Pro.

Introducing Gemini on Mac.

Project Genie is a prototype web app powered by Genie 3, Nano Banana Pro + Gemini that lets you create your own interactive worlds. I’ve been playing around with it a bit and it’s…out of this world:)

What to borrow

Nothing of theirs — not a phrase, not a number, not a fact. What carries over is the shape.

  • From the 23,316-like post: Preserve the Hook → Landing structure and the speaks directly to you opening.
  • From the 11,324-like post: Preserve the Hook → Context → Landing structure and the announcement opening.
  • From the 6,823-like post: Preserve the Hook → Landing structure and the plain observation opening.

The structure the analysis reads most often across their best work is Hook → Landing — 4 of the top 5 follow it.
