Trend Radar

Real-time trend radar across 7 platforms — know what's next, not what's peaked.

Trend Radar is your trend radar. It scans YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, and RSS feeds in real time — ranked by velocity, not just raw popularity.

How it works

  1. Enter a niche keyword (e.g., "personal finance", "AI tools", "true crime").
  2. Trend Radar queries each platform's trending/recent content matching your keyword.
  3. For every video it can access, it extracts the transcript and runs insight synthesis to surface the rising angle, hook pattern, and audience signal.
  4. Results are ranked by velocity score (how fast engagement is rising) so you catch waves before they peak.

Velocity vs popularity

Most tools show you what's already viral. By the time you post, the wave has passed.

Velocity is different: it measures rate of change. A video with 50K views gaining 10K/day beats one at 500K views stuck flat. Trend Radar surfaces the 50K rising one.

Rule of thumb: anything with velocity > 70 is a good candidate to post on within 48 hours.

Turning a Scan result into content

Once you find a rising video:

  1. Click the result to see full transcript and insights.
  2. Click Use as Reference.
  3. You're taken to Canvas or Docs with the reference pre-loaded.
  4. Generate — the AI uses the reference as angle inspiration only, never as content to copy.

Rescan and monitoring

  • Manual rescan: re-run a previous Trend Radar scan with one click to see what changed.
  • Daily monitoring (coming soon): set up recurring Scans that check your niche every day and email you a digest.

Credit usage

  • A standard Trend Radar scan: ~5-10 credits depending on the number of videos scanned.
  • Transcripts and insight synthesis are included — no extra charge.
