Replace humphreytalks with any public handle and run. Each top reel gets a format label such as talking head, voiceover with b-roll, how-to demo, skit or listicle, next to its views compared with the creator's median.
Talking head, voiceover with b-roll, screen recording tutorial, how-to demo, text on screen only, skit, product demo, listicle, reaction, UGC ad and day in the life. Each reel gets one of them.
Open the Hook Board in the run's Output tab: it groups analyzed reels by format, hook type and call to action and shows the average multiple of the creator's median per group. Analyze more reels for a steadier answer.
Carousels and photos have no video to analyze, so they come back as free rows with their metadata. If an account posts mostly carousels, you see that right away instead of getting an empty run.
No. No login, cookies, password or Instagram account. It reads public reels only, nothing is connected to your account and nothing is posted on your behalf.
