Most creators find trends too late — by the time a format is everywhere, the window is closed. SFOM.AI watches Instagram, TikTok and YouTube continuously and surfaces what's breaking out now, scored for your niche.
What we track
Views velocity, engagement rate, and the views-to-followers ratio — so a small account's breakout isn't drowned out by a celebrity's baseline. That's how we catch formats early, while they're still adaptable.
See the viral posts in YOUR niche
SFOM.AI watches Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and surfaces the posts beating their own author's median — with an AI breakdown of why each one worked, and a one-click script in your voice. Cancel any time.

A broker put a jump scare in front of his price. It worked.
A Brazilian realtor opened with a POV drive, cut to a jump scare, and revealed a price per square metre. 85,110 views — modest next to the 31M the same mechanism pulled in restaurants, and that is exactly what makes it worth copying: the format travels, and real estate has barely touched it.
