Wall of Love ❤️
“Virlo gives our content team insane visibility into what short-form video concepts are working in our niche. Our high hit rate is dependent on Virlo's outlier score data.”
Henry
Mobile App Founder
“The Monday Drop is now a core part of our business powered by OpenClaw and Virlo.”
Founder
“Love working with Nic & the Virlo team. Their API and platform has made social media marketing significantly less time consuming allowing us to minimally pause building and DISTRIBUTE what we've built!”
Builder
“Postiz for posting to social
agent-media for UGC images
Larry for TikTok slideshows
Virlo for finding trends
GStack for human-sounding copy”
Creator
“For trends, I'm using Virlo's API — it can fetch real-time trends in a single request, including niche trends and what's trending on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Then Opus turns those trends into tweet concepts.”
Developer
“Not even hyping it, but Virlo's API has just worked really well for these strats.
The best part is the updates are frequent and the team's pretty much always around.”
Builder
“classic example of over complicating stuff
i built an app on top of Virlo's api in just a few hours
- daily top 50 TikTok videos
- filter trends by niche
- actually accurate”
Developer
“Virlo has been coooooking.
Their API is muuuccch better than mine at finding trending posts.”
Builder
“I said focus on new + trending stuff but I didn't explain how to actually find it early
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”
