# RunwaveAI > RunwaveAI is a reel research and scripting tool. It reads any trending reel or competitor video to show you the hook, the pacing, the B-roll, and where people drop off, then writes that format back as a ready-to-film script in your own voice. Creators and companies use it to grow social reach and generate leads. ## What it is RunwaveAI turns "paste a reel, get the viral blueprint" into a full workflow: find what is going viral in your niche, see exactly why it worked, then script your own version. All from one dashboard. Most tools do one half of this. Analytics suites tell you what happened; script and clip generators produce output. RunwaveAI closes the loop end to end: analysis, then a branded script, built from your own brand voice via a knowledge base. No single competitor offers that complete loop. ## Who it is for - **Creators** who want to stop guessing what will go viral and cut content research from hours to minutes. - **Companies, brands, and agencies** who want to turn competitor content into lead-generating social posts at scale. ## Platforms Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts. RunwaveAI monitors trending content across all three. ## Features - **Trending reel discovery.** Shows the highest-performing content in your niche and across competitors, ranked by how fast it is spreading. - **AI viral breakdown.** Reads the hook, pacing, captions, CTA, audio, and drop-off points of any reel, and explains why the algorithm pushed it. - **Competitor-script extraction.** Pulls the underlying script and structure from a competitor's video. - **B-roll analysis.** Identifies the supporting footage and visual pacing that hold retention. - **One-click script generation.** Turns any viral reel into a ready-to-film script written in your voice. - **Branded remake via knowledge base.** Rewrites a proven format as content in your own brand voice using a saved knowledge base. - **Funnel classification.** Classifies which video formats convert. - **First-frame analysis.** Evaluates the opening frame that determines whether a viewer stops scrolling. ### Not yet released - **AI UGC video generation.** Creator-style videos without a camera.
