The problem it solves

You know video performance matters, but pulling reels, watching them, and figuring out why some take off while others flop eats up hours every week. Insights that could shape your next post get lost because no one has time to dig through the data.

Who it fits

Social media managers, digital marketers, and content creators who track Instagram performance across multiple accounts.

How it works

  1. A schedule starts the review on a set interval
  2. The system pulls the latest reels for each tracked creator from Airtable
  3. The most-watched videos are downloaded for analysis
  4. Gemini analyzes what makes the top performers work
  5. The insights and metrics are saved back into Airtable
What you get

Top reels analyzed for what worked

You get an AI breakdown of what makes your best-performing Instagram reels work, logged automatically in Airtable.

What you get

A running record in Airtable of top-performing reels with AI-generated insights on why they worked.

What you need

An Airtable account, a Google Gemini API key, and Instagram access for the tracked creators.

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.
