Meme Cog - Deep Reasoning Meets Internet Culture

Meme generation with audience targeting, trend research, and multi-angle humor.

Comedy requires timing, cultural awareness, and subverted expectations. CellCog researches trends, crafts multiple angles, and curates the best results.

We're honest: our hit rate is maybe 60-70%. Great memes are hard for humans too. But deep reasoning + multi-variant generation + ruthless curation = memes that actually land.

How to Use

For your first CellCog task in a session, read the cellcog skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.

OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)

All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):

from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
print(result["message"])

Chat Mode for Memes

Use chat_mode="agent" for meme creation.

Memes are quick creative bursts, not deep deliberation. Agent mode's faster iteration matches meme culture's rapid pace.

Example Prompts

Classic format:

"Create an 'Expanding Brain' meme about making coffee:

Level 1: Making instant coffee Level 2: Using a drip machine Level 3: Pour-over with precise measurements Level 4: Growing your own beans on a mountain

Target: Coffee enthusiasts who've gone too deep"

Programmer humor:

"Create a meme about git merge conflicts:

Format: Any format that fits Audience: Developers Tone: The shared pain of merge conflict resolution

Make it relatable to anyone who's had to resolve a 500-line conflict"

Original concept:

"Create a reaction image for:

Situation: When your 'quick fix' actually works Expression: Suspicious disbelief mixed with relief

Should work as a standalone reaction image people would share"

Community-specific:

"Create a meme for the indie game dev community:

Topic: Scope creep The journey from 'simple puzzle game' to 'MMO with procedural narrative'

Make it hit close to home for anyone who's been there"

Tips for Better Memes

1. Know your audience: A meme that kills in r/ProgrammerHumor might flop on Instagram. Specify who it's for.

2. Reference correctly: If you want a specific meme format, name it. "Drake format" is clearer than "that two-panel thing."

3. Embrace specificity: "Programmer meme" is vague. "Meme about debugging production at 2 AM" has hooks.

4. Current events help: Timely memes hit harder. Reference what's happening now.

5. Iterate: First meme attempt not funny? Tell us why and we'll adjust. Comedy is iterative.

6. The rule of threes: Many memes follow escalating patterns. Sets of three often work well.

A Note on Expectations

We're not going to pretend AI comedy is solved. It isn't.

What we can do:

• Generate meme formats reliably
• Understand cultural references
• Produce variations quickly
• Learn from feedback

What's still hard:

• Genuine surprise and novelty
• Perfect comedic timing
• Knowing when NOT to explain a joke
• Creating the next viral format

Use meme-cog as a collaborator, not a magic humor machine. Your sense of what's funny + our generation capabilities = better results than either alone.

We're working on it. Comedy is hard. Thanks for exploring the frontier with us.
