# Global Viral Reels Research Workflow

> Workflow to find and filter top-performing international Reels using ChatGPT

A multi-language research workflow for uncovering high-performing Instagram Reels from international markets before they trend locally. It combines keyword translation, data extraction tools, and ChatGPT Data Analysis to aggregate and isolate viral formats above target view thresholds.

## How it works

1. Translate your niche keyword (e.g., 'дизайн' / 'design') into top global languages: English, Spanish ('diseño'), Portuguese, and Japanese.
2. Run scrapers/bots for each translated keyword to extract spreadsheet reports of top Reels.
3. Upload all generated spreadsheets into ChatGPT (Data Analysis / Advanced Data Analysis).
4. Prompt ChatGPT to merge the tables, remove duplicates, sort descending by view count, filter out posts older than the current year (e.g., 2025), and retain only videos surpassing a minimum threshold (e.g., 500,000+ views).
5. Review the resulting list to identify top international trends and formats to adapt.

## What it is for

- Identify viral video concepts and hooks across international markets
- Aggregate and deduplicate social media performance spreadsheets using AI
- Filter out low-performing or outdated video benchmarks automatically
