How It Works

Three steps from draft to Viralcast-cleared winner.

01

Upload

Drop your video, image, or hook into Viralcast. It scores it on 5 factors: hook, pacing, emotion, clarity, CTA.

# Upload a draft to Viralcast
from liquidcortex_viralcast import Viralcast

viralcast = Viralcast(api_key="lc_viralcast_...")
draft = viralcast.upload("hook_v1.mp4")
02

Simulate

10,000 digital twins react to your content based on Big Five personality and engagement traits. Viralcast returns a virality score and per-factor suggestions.

# Pulse 10K simulated reactions
verdict = await viralcast.simulate(
  draft_id=draft.id,
  platform="tiktok"
)
# verdict.score → 0..100
# verdict.factors → hook/pacing/...
03

Ship the winner

A/B test up to 5 variants, see which one wins the Viralcast verdict, and ship only what cleared the bar.

# Compare up to 5 variants
results = await viralcast.ab_test(
  variants=[v1, v2, v3, v4, v5]
)
winner = results.top()
# Only ship what cleared the bar

The 5-Factor Rubric

Every draft gets scored on the five things that actually drive engagement. Hook, pacing, emotion, clarity, CTA — plus a full A/B test layer on top.

Hook Score

Measure the first 3 seconds against Viralcast-validated patterns. Know whether your opener earns the scroll-stop before you ever publish.

Pacing Analysis

Frame-by-frame attention curve from the simulated audience. See exactly where the 10,000 twins drop off — and why.

Emotion Resonance

Measure which emotion the simulated audience experiences — joy, surprise, curiosity, awe — and whether it matches your creative intent.

Clarity Check

Does the simulated audience understand what you are saying or selling? Surface comprehension gaps before the real audience does.

CTA Strength

Measured intent-to-act from the simulated audience. Pulse every call-to-action for downstream conversion signal, not just likes.

5-Variant A/B Test

Run up to 5 hooks side-by-side. Ship only the variant that cleared the Viralcast bar. Shelf the rest without burning a post slot.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO WITH IT

Three workflows I built Viralcast to run

Viralcast isn’t “AI virality scoring.” It’s a 10,000-twin simulated audience you can interrogate. These are the three jobs I built it to handle first. If yours isn’t on this list, email me at [email protected] — that’s how I figure out card four.

01 / REPLACE THE RETAINER

Cut your $4,800/mo creator agency

Drop in 247 candidate hooks for your TikTok account. Viralcast runs them past 10,000 simulated viewers matched to your follower demographics. The winning hook beat your last post’s engagement by 31%. Whole test took 6 minutes.

$39/movs $4,800/mo retainer
02 / TEAR DOWN A COMPETITOR

Reverse-engineer 50 LinkedIn posts

Paste your competitor’s last 50 LinkedIn posts. Viralcast scores each against the 2026 algorithm — carousel weight 1.9x, video reach down 200%, dwell-time-king, long-form 800-1000 word sweet spot. Surface the 3 patterns they’re winning with that you’re not.

50 postsscored in < 90 sec
03 / INTERROGATE THE TWINS

Change the price mid-simulation

Run a launch post sim. Mid-flight, swap the price from $99 to $69 — watch the engagement curve shift live. Then change the audience from solo founders to RevOps directors. Same content, different reaction. Ask “why did Twin #4,237 share this?” and Viralcast exposes the decision trail.

10K twinsqueryable per run

I priced Starter at $39/mo because the engine makes zero LLM calls — heuristics + Monte Carlo, AST-test-enforced in src/methodologies/market_research/social_layer.py. The math holds at 95%+ gross margin. You don’t pay for someone else’s GPU bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Viralcast is a simulated audience of 10,000 digital twins — each one carrying a distinct Big Five personality and engagement profile. When you upload a draft, every twin reacts as an individual viewer would, giving you a distribution of responses rather than a single algorithmic guess. Think of it as a pre-flight test audience for every piece of content you ship.

Viralcast currently supports TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Each platform has its own pacing and hook expectations, so Viralcast calibrates its scoring accordingly. More platforms will be added based on launch demand.

Viralcast is a research-preview product. Accuracy is currently being calibrated against real engagement data; we do not publish a single accuracy number until that calibration completes. We would rather ship honest framing than a fabricated benchmark.

API access is available on Viralcast Pro. SDKs for Python and Node.js are coming soon. If you have a specific integration need for launch, let us know on the waitlist form and we will prioritize accordingly.

Most virality tools score content against past viral patterns — effectively predicting yesterday. Viralcast simulates a future audience: 10,000 digital twins with distinct personalities react to your content before you publish, so you see a distribution of reactions instead of a lookback score.
