Less scrolling, more evidence
Follow a defined list of creators and a time window. Keep the original post URL next to every observation so a teammate can check the source.
Agent template / Instagram Trend Watcher
Watch Instagram trends.
Find your next idea.
An agent template for watching public Instagram creators, finding posts that outperform their usual baseline, and turning the evidence into a report your team can use.
0% template markup. Agent and tool usage billed separately.
Public Instagram dataSheets + TelegramYour accounts and budget
01 / COLLECT
Collect
Read the public profiles and recent posts you choose. Keep post links, timestamps and the metrics actually returned.
02 / COMPARE
Compare
Rank outliers against each creator's baseline. Compare saved snapshots to measure growth over time.
03 / REPORT
Report
Write the evidence to your own Google Sheet and send a concise digest to a Telegram destination you approve.
What you can do.
A practical starting point. Adapt the scope to your work, connect your own tools and keep the source behind each result.
A baseline for every creator
Compare like with like. A small account's standout post should not disappear under a larger account's raw view count.
Growth needs two observations
Store observation times and compare the same post across runs. A single snapshot shows engagement, not measured growth velocity.
A report you can act on
Separate the observed pattern from a creative hypothesis. Use the report as research input for the next content experiment.
Inputs in.
Useful work out.
Know what the workflow needs and what it returns before spending your first run.
- You provide
- Public creator usernames, observation window, metric to compare, page/request limit and maximum run budget.
- Connect
- Instagram Public Data; Google Sheets for saved snapshots; Telegram for an optional digest. Connect your own accounts.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE / NOT A LIVE RESULT
creator: @example_creator post_url: <original Instagram post> observed_at: <UTC timestamp> plays: <returned value or unavailable> baseline: <metric, window and sample size> growth: <delta between two saved snapshots> interpretation: <hypothesis, with source links>
0%extra markup for the template
Pay for the work it runs.
There is no purchase fee or extra markup for using this template. Agent tokens, tools and storage/runtime usage follow the published rates. Instagram Public Data on the shared connection costs $0.01 per billed request. Pagination and repeated snapshots create additional requests.

Scope, connections and expectations, made explicit.
Is this a working project or just an idea?
You can inspect the existing public community project below, or use the downloadable brief to build your own version. The public project is a reference; copying and running requires your own connections, inputs and budget.
Does it predict what will go viral?
No. It identifies observed outliers and changes in public metrics. A pattern or creative hypothesis is not a prediction of future reach.
Can it read private Instagram accounts?
This workflow uses public Instagram data. It does not unlock private profiles, private messages or another person's analytics.
Will it send messages automatically?
The brief asks for the destination and sending permission first. Start with a draft report; enable delivery and scheduling only when you choose.
$ YOUR NEXT RUN
Start with a clear brief.
Connect FlyMy.AI to your assistant using skill.md, then paste this request. You can also open a new agent in the app and paste the full starter brief. Setup may ask you to connect tools; this page does not run or schedule anything.
Read https://flymy.ai/agents/templates/instagram-trend-watcher/template.txt and help me set up Instagram Trend Watcher using my own connections. Ask for the missing inputs and budget before running it.
