The problem it solves

Trends move fast on TikTok and Instagram, and by the time you notice something taking off, the moment has often passed. Manually scrolling both apps looking for what's working in your niche eats time you don't have and you can still miss the big ones.

Who it fits

Social media managers, content creators, or marketing teams who need to stay ahead of trends in a specific niche.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically every day
  2. Scrapes trending videos from TikTok and Instagram in your niche
  3. Filters for videos with strong engagement and recent growth
  4. AI reviews each video and analyzes why it's performing well
  5. Sends an instant alert for standout viral content and a daily summary by email
What you get

Viral trends spotted before your competitors

You get a daily report on which TikTok and Instagram videos are going viral in your niche, along with an explanation of why they're working.

What you get

A daily trend report and instant alerts for standout viral videos, plus a saved record in a spreadsheet.

What you need

An Apify account, an OpenAI API key, a Google Sheets account, and optionally a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
