How to Automate Your Reels Strategy and Find Viral Topics: A Guide for Brands and Creators
Every business with an Instagram presence — from bakeries to SaaS startups, personal brand coaches to e‑commerce stores — faces the exact same daily bottleneck:
“What Reels should we post today that will actually drive engagement and reach?”
The most reliable way to answer that is to see which topics are already generating high engagement for others in your niche. But manually searching, watching, and analysing dozens of Reels to spot winning trends is a massive time waste.
This is where Flautreach AI Agent helps you. You just tell the system what your topic is (for example, “coffee shop”, “real estate”, “handmade jewelry”), and it finds the best Reels in that area, analyzes them, and gives you a ready-made list of ideas.
Step 1: Pick a ready-made template
Flautreach already has templates for analyzing Reels in different niches.
Let’s use SMM template to analyze reels from creator and agencies in SMM niche.
Step 2: Scraping rules
For finding Reels that were uploaded within 24 hours Flautreach AI Agent will use Google Search. The template already has scraping rules (which you can always edit as you like).
This template sets Flautreach AI agent to visit every search query from the list above up to page 10 , using “Past 24 hour” Google filter.
AI agent will collect reels from every link found on every google page. As you can see, we use site:instagram.com/reel in our search query and “24 hours” filter. It helps us find Instagram Reels that were created within 24 hours and have keywords like “smm tips” on their page. Of course, not all of the found reels are useful, but it does not matter as we are going to filter them with AI.

Step 3: AI Filtering
Not all of the Reels are relevant to us. We only want to analyze Reels with more than 5000 views
What’s more, we want to get only Reels from English speaking creators in SMM niche. So, we will use AI Filtering. Flautreach AI Agent will visit every profile of the author of every Reel, make a screenshot and ask AI if it is an English speaking SMM creator. If AI replies with ‘yes’, the scraped Reel is considered relevant to us.
Step 4: Sorting
We want to analyze the Reels that followers found the most interesting. We will use a standard formula for engagement
likes/views + 2*(comments/views)
It helps us find the best topic for Reels even if instagram profile of the author does not have many followers ( we consider that Reels that have 1000 likes and 10 000 views are more interesting to followers than Reels with 2000 likes and 100 000 views)
We ask our AI Agent to get us the 30 most engaging Reels.
Step 5: Generating Reels Description
Watching 30 Reels can consume at least 30 minutes of your life. So, it is better to tell our AI Agent to watch these Reels for you and simply explain what happens there.
Step 6: Making summary
At last, we want our AI Agent to make a summary of the top Reels. What is the common trend? What are the best hooks?
Flautreach AI Agent is going to make a summary based on the descriptions of all the Reels.
This is how instead of manually searching and watching thousands of Reels everyday to spot the winning mechanics and trends, you can get a daily review from Flautreach.
