What it does

  • Each creator is scored against their own usual level, so small accounts count.
  • Speed compares two snapshots of the same posts, for accounts active in the last 3 days.
  • Edit the account list in the sheet; every run reads it again.
  • A failed sheet or Telegram step never repeats the paid Instagram calls.

Ideal for Content teams, creator agencies and app makers reusing proven short-video formats.

What stays yours

the same for every template

Your connections stay yours

A copy never carries the author's keys or connections.

Nothing runs until you answer

Clone creates the agents and a setup chat; nothing bills before your reply.

A budget you set

5 / 20 / 50 USD per day / week / month by default; a run cannot outspend it.

Versions

a copy keeps the version it was made from

FAQ

Is this a working project or just an idea?

It is a working, public reference project. Clone it and its setup agent builds your copy with your own accounts: a sheet, two helpers on a schedule and a first Telegram digest.

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?

Yes, once you answer the setup question: a trial digest, then the daily digest and fast-growth alerts go to the Telegram recipient you name, from your own Telegram account. Change the recipient or time by writing to the setup agent; stop a schedule in the helper's chat.

Which language are the reports in?

The agent talks in your language. In v1.1 the sheet tabs and the Telegram report texts are in Russian.

What does it cost per day?

Measured on five accounts, the setup cost $0.67 once. A day of scheduled runs is estimated at about $0.30 for 5 accounts, $1.02 for 20 and $4.86 for 100. Your project budget caps the spending, and every run shows its itemised price.
