The TrendsIQ handbook.
Everything you need to get from sign-up to your first viral video.
Getting started
Welcome to TrendsIQ. Sign up with email or Google, complete the 60-second onboarding, and you'll land on your Dashboard with your first niche pre-loaded.
From the dashboard, the most common path is: Discover → Deep Dive → Script → Pipeline. That's the 'breakout to publish' workflow most creators use weekly.
All your work is saved automatically per-account. Use the Saved page to review titles, hooks and topics you've kept.
Discovering trends
Open Discover and pick a niche, region and category. We pull a fresh candidate pool of YouTube videos and rank them by velocity.
Filters narrow what's shown without re-fetching — every region/category combination is guaranteed to surface at least 30 videos.
Click 'Deep Dive' on any video to drop into the full analysis: angles, hooks, supporting videos, comments and titles.
Generating scripts
Open Script Studio. Paste a topic (or click 'Generate' on a calendar entry to pre-fill).
Add a tone snippet — a paragraph from a recent video transcript — so the AI matches your voice.
Generate, then regenerate any single section without losing the rest. Copy to clipboard or export as Markdown.
Building thumbnails
Thumbnail Studio analyses 2M+ thumbnails in your niche to suggest layout, color contrast, face count and text density.
Use the suggestions as a brief — actual asset creation still happens in your design tool.
Managing the pipeline
The Pipeline is a kanban board with four stages: Discovered, Outlined, Filming, Live.
Drag cards between stages, score them, set due dates. Cards persist across devices because they live in your account.
Keyboard shortcuts
Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) anywhere to open the command palette.
G then D for Dashboard, G then T for Discover, G then C for Calendar.
On any saved item, press S to toggle save state.
