Find creators who post about a topic

To find creators who post about a topic, type the topic as a brief at /app, such as home espresso tutorials. Starcovery ranks Instagram and TikTok creators by the videos they post, and each match shows the videos you watch to check the fit.
You need no account and no card to search. Sign in to save creators, add them to a campaign, or reveal a contact address.
Write the topic as a brief
A brief describes what the videos are about, in the words you use for the posts you want:
home espresso tutorialsslow morning coffeecoffee creators in Seoul
Add the platform, the follower range, or the country to the brief when they matter, such as home espresso tutorials on TikTok. Starcovery applies them as filters. The country filter covers every country and means where the creator is based.
Why the search reads the posts, not the bio
Starcovery ranks each creator by the videos they post that match the brief. The bio does not set the rank. A creator whose bio names no topic ranks for home espresso tutorials when their videos are espresso tutorials. A bio that names coffee does not lift a creator whose videos are about something else.
Each match shows the videos that matched, so you check the fit by watching them. The fit score, from 0 to 1, is the relevance of the creator to the brief.
Find the creators
Type the brief
Open /app, type the topic, and send it. The brief starts a Thread that keeps the brief, the filters, and the creators on screen.
Watch the videos
Results open on Reels: one tile per creator with the video that best matches the brief. Creators, Table, and Map show the same creators as cards, as a table, and on a map. Each creator links to a creator page with recent posts, average views, and engagement.
Narrow the results
Type a follow-up in the assistant pane, such as only creators with more than 10,000 followers or leave out brand accounts. A message that narrows by followers, average views, engagement, platform, country, or verified status keeps a subset of the creators on screen. A message that leaves a kind of creator out checks the creators on screen and runs one search.
Save and contact
Select creators, then choose Save as List or Add to Campaign. For a creator with a contact address on file, Reveal Contact on the creator page shows the address to your organization.
See a published search
Creators matching "home espresso tutorials" is a published search page: the creators from a saved search for that brief, each with sample videos and a link to the creator page at /tt/@<handle> or /ig/@<handle>. Run This Search opens the same brief at /app with current results. The Markdown rendition at /search/home-espresso-tutorials.md lists each creator's platform, followers, and fit score.
Published searches on nearby coffee topics:
/search-sitemap.xml lists every published search page. An agent runs the same search with GET /api/search?q=home+espresso+tutorials, described in Search.
