Slice: AI Trend Engine
Social trends move faster than your marketing team. Slice tracks global short-form video items in real-time—giving you a 48-hour head start on what’s about to blow up.
Book Live DemoThe Trend You Missed
By the time a trend hits your "For You" page, it's already peaking. Ad costs are 5x higher, and the organic window is closing.
Most brands are stuck manually doom-scrolling or relying on lagging weekly reports. We built Slice to solve the Speed Gap: instantly detecting velocity spikes across millions of videos before they become obvious.
Only the signals that matter:
1. Ingest: Monitoring high-velocity clusters on Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.
2. Rank: Scoring by acceleration (derivative of view count), not just totals.
3. Verify: Cross-referencing against Google Search volume and direct traffic.
Trends are volatile. We don't promise evergreen hits; we promise at-bats.
We also add Search & Web Traffic checks:
- Google Trends to confirm rising search interest (updates as often as every ~10 minutes for “Trending now”). Google Trends Help & Trends Data FAQ.
- Website traffic estimates to see if relevant brand/category pages are gaining visits (sampled estimates; good for direction, not exact counts). Similarweb Methodology & Methodology FAQs.
Explainable rankings & quick export
A "Trend" isn't useful without context. Slice tells you why it's moving: is it a Paid Ad spike? A creator cluster? Or genuine organic lift?
Export a "Brief-Ready" packet to Slack or your CMS instantly. Brief your creators while the topic is still hot.
Meaningful details
Data-Backed Confidence.
Visual trends can be deceiving. We overlay search intent and traffic data to confirm real interest.
Scale matters: YouTube Shorts hits ~70B daily views. Meta Reels matches it. Finding a signal in that noise requires more than just keywords—it requires semantic video understanding.
Project outcomes

Early partners report a 40% reduction in research time and 2x higher engagement on trend-aligned localized content.
