Research: In Chat

How to use Vamos's in-chat research — search viral videos, analyze profiles, pull comments, find similar accounts, and browse everything visually.

What Vamos can research

  • Viral videos across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube

  • Any public profile (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Facebook)

  • Individual posts/videos — transcripts, metrics, captions, comments

  • Comments — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube (new)

  • Similar accounts — find related profiles you didn't know existed (new)

  • Any website or URL — full content extraction

  • Proven viral hook frameworks

  • Web search for current info

New: Visual research display

When Vamos researches, it doesn't just summarize — it shows you everything it found. Thumbnails, profile cards, metrics, transcripts, all browseable inline.

You can scroll through the actual source content before reading the final output. Makes it easy to verify, pick favorites, and add specific items back into chat for deeper analysis.

New: Comments analysis

Vamos can now pull comments from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube and analyze them — not just what creators are posting, but what audiences are actually saying.

Example prompts:

  • "Search for top productivity videos on Instagram in the past 2 weeks. Show me what you find, then analyze the top 10 and tell me what people are saying in the comments."

  • "Analyze @competitor's most-commented post from last month. What are the patterns in how the audience reacts?"

  • "What common complaints show up in comments on weight-loss content? Find me 5 angles nobody's addressing."

New: Similar accounts discovery

When you analyze a creator, Vamos can find related accounts automatically — useful for competitor discovery without doing the search legwork.

Example prompts:

  • "Find 10 Instagram accounts similar to @hormozi in the business coaching space."

  • "Analyze @competitor and show me 5 similar accounts worth watching."

Example workflows

Competitor deep-dive

"Analyze @[competitor]'s last 30 days of Reels. Find their top 5 outliers, transcribe each one, break down the hook / structure / format. Then write me 3 scripts inspired by their best-performing patterns but in my voice."

One prompt, three phases: research → pattern analysis → writing. Vamos uses cheap models for the research phase and switches to Claude for the writing phase automatically.

Trend research

"Search trending videos about [your topic] on Instagram and TikTok from the past 2 weeks. Show me what you find, then analyze the top 10 — break down the hooks, formats, and what's getting the most comments. What are people saying?"

Multi-source synthesis

"Find videos from @creator1, @creator2, and @creator3. Compare their approaches. What do they do differently on hooks? Then tell me which patterns would transfer best to my audience."

Pattern identification

"Add these 5 viral videos: [URLs]. What do they have in common? Break down the hook, structure, CTA, and editing style."

How to write good research prompts

  1. Be specific about the source. "Top videos" is vague. "Top 10 Reels about [topic] from the past 2 weeks" is precise.

  2. Chain research + output in one prompt. Instead of stopping after research and asking for scripts in a follow-up, say it all upfront:

"Research X, find the patterns, then write me 5 scripts using those patterns in my voice."

Vamos will handle research with a cheaper model and switch to Claude for the writing — saving you credits.

  1. Give it a volume target. "Find top videos" → "Find 10 videos." "Analyze comments" → "Analyze the top 20 comments." This keeps Vamos focused.

  2. Let it do the work. Don't micromanage — don't say "search, then pause and let me pick." Say "find the top performers and analyze them." Vamos is designed to run the full flow.

Follow-up questions after research

Once Vamos has researched, dig deeper:

  • "Which structure would work best for my audience?"

  • "Now write a script using the winning pattern."

  • "How would you adapt this for LinkedIn instead of TikTok?"

  • "Find 5 more examples of the hook style you liked most."

  • "Pull the comments on the top 3 — what are people actually asking about?"

Research tips

  • More sources = better insights. 10 videos gives Vamos patterns; 2 videos gives you noise.

  • Use platform names explicitly. "On TikTok" or "on Instagram Reels" helps Vamos narrow the search.

  • Ask follow-ups. The first round finds the data. Follow-ups turn it into insight.

  • Save what's useful. When Vamos shows you great source videos, add them to Brand Voice or Memory so future writing stays anchored to them.
