The problem it solves

You want to understand what makes content take off, but scrolling TikTok and guessing at patterns doesn't scale and rarely gives you a real answer. Content decisions end up based on gut feeling instead of evidence.

Who it fits

Marketing analysts, creators, or agencies researching what makes content go viral.

How it works

  1. Once a week, the system collects trending TikTok videos
  2. Video details like views, likes, and captions are stored in Airtable
  3. When you submit a specific video, it's pulled from Airtable for review
  4. AI analyzes the hook, audio, and visuals and writes structured insights
  5. The insights are written back into the Airtable record
What you get

Viral patterns you understand before your next post

You get a structured breakdown of exactly what made a trending video take off.

What you get

An Airtable record with structured AI insights on why a video performed well.

What you need

An Apify account, a Google Gemini or OpenAI API key, and an Airtable account.

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.
