Revid pivots from AI video generation to viral trend intelligence as models commoditize
tibo_maker · x · 2026-08-18
Revid's founder explains why the tool rebuilt itself: with every AI video app now running the same Sora, Veo and Seedance models, "my clips look better" is no longer a moat — and pretty clips still flop (his test account: 17 posts, 5,396 views in 30 days).
The hard part is now knowing WHAT to make. Revid now taps a library of millions of viral videos, surfaces cross-platform trends by topic, watches channels in your niche for daily outliers, breaks down hooks and structure, and remakes winners in one click with automated posting and tracking. Generation was never the moat; knowing what works is.
