Every video comes broken down into its hook, format and angle. Ask Vee (Copilot) for the best hooks in your niche, the formats picking up this week, or creators like the ones you love, and every answer links back to the videos it came from.

  • Every hook with its hook type
  • The formats and trends in your niche
  • Creator search in plain English

Outlier detection

A creator who usually gets 2.5K views and suddenly does 2.8M is an outlier, so that video ranks above a big account having a normal week.

How we helped this agency owner generate 11M views in less than 28 days for 1 client

Matt Berman runs Emerald Digital, the agency behind campaigns for Heineken and Hennessy. He pointed the Virlo API at his AI agent and built The Monday Drop in a weekend. Every Monday it turns each client's outlier videos into hooks and scripts in their voice. He has since sold the system to several brands.

“Most trending formats hit TikTok / Shorts first, then they spill over to X. By the time it's obvious here, you're late. You need to be positioned before that shift. This is how I use @virlomain to track what's accelerating.”

Building on Virlo data? API pricing is usage-based, pay as you go.

Virlo API

The API is a separate product from the Virlo app, so you don't need a Virlo subscription to use it. Pull the same short-form data into your own tools and agents, and pay only for the requests you make.

  • No Virlo subscription needed
  • Pay as you go from a balance that never expires
  • 25+ endpoints for trends, creators and hashtags
  • MCP server for AI agents

Questions agencies actually ask

Yes. Set up a research agent per client, send digests and alerts to each client channel, and export branded reports for stakeholders. Many agencies run 15+ client niches from a single Virlo account.
