Virallyst

If you’re not lucky enough to have a chronically online social intern to provide a full report on the last 24 hours of digital trends, you have to make do on your own.

What’s the viral moment today? How are our competitors responding? Where can we plug in? It takes hours of [doom]scrolling to get those answers.

Virallyst scans YouTube, newsletters, blogs, Reddit, and more daily to serve you six on-trend, brand-tailored post ideas for each platform every morning.

It even includes visuals, and word is that video’s coming soon.

AI Search Rank

How exactly do you monitor which bots are indexing your products, you ask?

And does AI describe your services accurately? Do you appear ahead of competitors? Are AI models hallucinating facts about your offerings?

Knowatoa’s AI Search Rank can help you understand how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and other AI tools perceive and rank your brand.

Use it to analyze how chatbots describe your company, compare rankings against competitors, identify inaccuracies and missed opportunities, and even track questions that drive real leads.

TextRanch

Speaking of creativity, here’s palate cleaner: a completely AI-free tool.

Get your copy proofread by real human editors from TextRanch. For real.

Send them a short email or a massive proposal and they’ll edit for grammar, tone, and clarity.

It’s fast (by human standards), it’s easy, and it doesn’t require a subscription.

You just send in your text, and they send back a cleaner, clearer version. Like is 1999.

Airpost

Everyone wants high-quality, high-volume video ads. But getting them made is a slow and expensive process.

Airpost is a new kind of video ad creation platform that uses AI to handle ideation, production, and editing for you.

It generates 30+ custom, voiceover-driven ads in a few hours. You just drop in your Amazon or product link, review a pre-filled creative brief, and let Airpost handle the rest.

It draws from your own footage, plus 400,000+ vertical UGC-style clips and AI-generated visuals to give you a gallery of ready-to-run ads.

AI Badge

Transparency is a huge differentiator these days.

The AI Badge is designed to assess and communicate the level of AI involvement in your creative process across audio, visual, and text mediums.

Inspired by the Creative Commons model, it categorizes work into five levels—from fully human-created (Category 0) to entirely AI-generated (Category 4).

Just answer a few questions about your creation, and the AI Badge system will assign the appropriate label, such as S-AI-1 (Sounds) or T-AI-3 (Text).

Then, pass a 20-question quiz to claim your badge. And show it off on LinkedIn, duh.

Just add channels to your dashboard, set your preferences for delivery method and frequency, and enjoy bullet-point summaries every time a new video drops.

Reels Webinar

If your Reels reach is trash, join the party. We’re tuning into Meta’s Reels Webinar this Thursday, April 24 at 9 a.m. EST to take some notes.

The session will feature insights from Meta’s product leaders, content experts, and advertisers using Reels successfully.

The crew will cover what makes a Reel perform well, creative diversification, how brands can tap into trends, and hopefully how to get out of “200 views jail,” as they say.
