How do I research trending Instagram Reel topics and angles every morning before I write today's script?

the agent that answers this

Daily IG reel research bundle. Every day, scan Instagram for trending hooks and saturated vs open angles in your niche, and produce a research bundle the reel workflow can build on.

Each morning, this agent decides the day's research topics from your niche, searches Instagram for the top-performing reels on those topics from roughly the last week, ranks them by engagement (weighting comments and reshares over raw views, since those signal real resonance), and extracts the reusable creative patterns -- hook styles, angles, caption styles, visual formats -- worth adapting, plus which angles are already saturated.

editorial example

Example: a morning's Instagram Reel research bundle

A daily research bundle: the trending hook styles and angles currently working in your niche, which angles are already saturated and worth avoiding, and the specific white-space opportunities worth building today's reel around -- ranked by real engagement, not just view count.

Example output, to show the shape of the deliverable. It has not run on your data. Build the agent to get this on yours.

the steps

5 steps

Step 1decision
decide today's reel research topics from the user's business and target audience (auto-generate; default niche: people watching Claude, OpenAI, AI tools, AI agents, and building-with-AI content). Output 5 to 8 specific search topics and hashtags to research
Decision step
Step 2tool
using Claude for Chrome, search Instagram (Explore, hashtag and keyword search) for the top-performing reels on each target topic from roughly the last 7 days; for each reel collect the link, creator, caption, the hook/opening line, the format, and the view/like/comment/share counts
Your model fills this step
- No integration? paste a list of reel links to analyze
- No integration? list the topics and a few example reels manually
Step 3decision
rank the collected reels by engagement, weighting comments and reshares highest because they signal real resonance better than views, and separate what is breaking out from what is already saturated
Decision step
Step 4decision
extract the reusable creative patterns from the winning reels: the hook styles, the content and angle ideas, the caption styles, and the visual formats worth adapting. Compile the daily research bundle: top hooks with why each works, saturated angles to avoid, and 3 to 5 white-space content ideas, each with an example hook and a caption direction
Decision step
Step 5decision
quick review gate: confirm the research bundle is real and on-brand before it feeds the reel debate
Decision step

keep in mind

Research only -- it hands you patterns and opportunities to adapt, not a finished script or a copy of anyone else's content. Relies on Instagram's own search/Explore surfaces via Chrome, so results reflect what's currently surfaced there, not a comprehensive market scan. Default niche targets people watching AI tools and agents -- a different niche needs that target reconfigured.

runs hands-free with

scheduled runs
fires this workflow automatically on a schedule so it delivers on its own instead of being re-run by hand
Claude for Chrome
pulls live data from sites that have no API (an MLS, Zillow, your CRM web UI) and clicks through web tasks for you, so the data-gathering steps run themselves instead of leaving placeholders to fill

Connect these and the agent gathers its own data and delivers on a schedule, instead of leaving you blanks to fill.
