Search for outliers in your niche

Go to Discovery in the sidebar (or navigate to /discovery/search). Pick a platform tab (YouTube, X/Twitter, or Instagram), type a keyword related to your niche, and click Find Outliers.

Brand Brain searches for content that is massively outperforming its channel average. A video with a 8.3 outlier score means it got 8.3x more views than that creator normally gets. These are proven ideas your audience already wants to see.

Your agent researches the topic

After you select platforms, Brand Brain opens Agent Chat and your AI starts working. It gathers your preferences, researches current trends around the topic, and identifies the best angles for each platform.

The agent reads your niche, target audience, goals, and any knowledge sources you have added to your Brain. It combines all of this with the trending topic you selected.

4

It builds a content calendar

The agent creates a full content plan: which topics to cover each day, which platforms to target, and how many pieces per platform. It lays out the strategy before writing anything.

Content appears in your panel

As the agent works, content cards start appearing on the left side of the chat. Each card is a complete draft tailored to its platform and format. Tweets, threads, LinkedIn posts, Threads posts, Instagram reels. All created from the same trending topic.
