INGEST

Know what to make before you make it.

The Research tab watches the news, trending searches and the creators in your niche, and turns what is moving into topics: what happened, what viewers are asking and which format would explain it best. One click starts a short or a course from the topic, grounded in the sources behind it. The feed is on every plan, Free included; creating from a topic is on every paid plan, and following your own creators is part of Studio.

What it does

The detail that makes it work.

Fresh every day

News and live sources refresh through the day, so the feed reflects this week, not last month.

The question, not just the headline

Each topic carries the question viewers are asking and a suggested format.

From topic to video

Create a reel or a course straight from a topic — the script is grounded in the event itself.
