AI Reel / Video Analyzer (Competitors & Trends)

Turns any competitor or influencer reel into structured insights—hook type, archetype, narrative, CTA, pacing, and more—exported as clean training data for creative strategy.

Impact Summary

The Problem

Teams often track competitor/influencer reels manually—saving links, guessing what worked, and writing inconsistent notes. Valuable patterns (hooks, archetypes, CTAs) get lost across spreadsheets and chats, making creative iteration slow and subjective.

This automation converts any reel link into a standardized analysis using Gemini video understanding, forcing a strict JSON schema so every reel is comparable. The output becomes a clean 'creative training dataset' inside Google Sheets for faster trend spotting and better briefs.

How the workflow runs end to end

From raw data to booked meetings in 4 autonomous steps

1

Chat Link Ingestion

User drops a Google Drive reel/video link into a chat-trigger endpoint—no file uploads or manual downloads.

2

Drive Link Normalization

Extracts the Drive file ID and converts it into a direct downloadable URL to make the video accessible to the analyzer.

3

Gemini Video Analysis

Gemini analyzes the reel and returns strict JSON: hook text/type, archetype, narrative structure, emotional driver, CTA, on-screen text, audio style, pacing, and dominant emotion.

4

Training Data Export

Parses and normalizes the JSON into flat columns and appends a new row into Google Sheets to build a reusable creative intelligence dataset.

Before vs After

MANUAL

The Old Way

  • Manual reel watching + note taking
  • Inconsistent analysis across team members
  • Hard to compare reels at scale
  • Trend tracking becomes slow and subjective
AUTOMATED

The Automated Way

  • One-link → structured reel breakdown
  • Standard JSON schema for consistency
  • Comparable fields across competitors/influencers
  • Auto-logged to Sheets as training data

Under the
hood

Built with modern, scalable low-code tools and enterprise-grade APIs to ensure reliability and speed.
