I’ve been discussing a trendwatching idea with several people - tracking social media trends to create your own content.
I decided to think like a founder and built a simple Instagram trendwatching tool on Lovable:
- Take a query and search Reels - get the top Reels on the topic (some may already be old).
- Collect all creators from those Reels and analyze their last 10 Reels - look at metrics like views/followers, likes/views, and views/average views.
- Take the top 5 from that shortlist and analyze the videos with Gemini - this gives us a transcript and a visual description of what’s happening.
- Based on the analysis, generate scripts to create similar videos.
The result is a one-week content plan built from proven viral ideas. Repeat weekly.
In the video, I show how it works. It still needs a bit of polishing before I can share access openly, so I’m first checking demand.
Would you be interested in trying this tool?
