What Makes LazyLines Different

LazyLines isn't just a chatbot—it's an AI research assistant with specialized tools for content creators. It can automatically:

  • Search for viral videos across platforms

  • Analyze any social media profile or post

  • Watch and transcribe videos

  • Fetch content from any URL

  • Access proven viral hook frameworks

  • Search the web for current information

You never need to tell it which tool to use—just ask naturally and it figures it out.


Best Practices for AI Research

1. Combine Multiple Sources

The more data you give LazyLines, the better insights it can provide.

Examples:

  • "Find videos from @creator1, @creator2, and @creator3, compare their approaches"

  • "Add this YouTube video, these 2 Instagram reels, and this article, then analyze the common patterns"

  • "Search for top productivity content on TikTok and Instagram, find the similarities"

2. Be Specific About What You Want

❌ Vague prompts:

  • "Research this topic"

  • "Find some videos"

  • "Analyze this creator"

✅ Specific prompts:

  • "Find the top 10 TikToks about morning routines, analyze their structures, and write me a script combining the best elements"

  • "Analyze @competitor's top 20 Instagram posts and tell me their content strategy"

  • "Search for viral finance content from the past month and identify the 3 most common hook patterns"

3. Use Follow-Up Questions

After initial research, dig deeper:

  • "What patterns do you see in the hooks?"

  • "Which structure would work best for my audience?"

  • "Now write a script using the winning pattern"

  • "Show me 3 more examples of this approach"

  • "How can I adapt this for LinkedIn instead of TikTok?"

4. Let AI Do the Heavy Lifting

❌ Don't micromanage: "Search for videos, then I'll tell you which to analyze"

✅ Give it the full task: "Find and analyze the top performers, then write a script based on what works"


Research Prompt Examples

Competitor Analysis

"Analyze @[competitor]'s Instagram profile and tell me: - What topics they cover most - Their most viral content patterns - Hook styles they use - How I can differentiate from them"

Trend Research

"What's trending in [your niche] right now on TikTok and Instagram?  Find 10 viral examples and break down what makes them work."

Hook Research

"Give me 20 viral hook frameworks, then show me 5 real examples  of the 'pattern interrupt' hook being used in finance content."

Multi-Platform Research

"Find the top YouTube videos, TikToks, and Instagram Reels about  [topic] and compare how each platform approaches it differently."

Profile Deep-Dive

"Analyze @[creator]'s last 30 posts. What's their content strategy?  Which topics get the most engagement? What can I learn from them?"

Content Repurposing Research

"I want to turn [this YouTube video link] into 30 pieces of content.  First, analyze it and tell me the key talking points, then create  10 TikTok scripts, 10 Instagram captions, and 10 LinkedIn posts."


Specify Output Format

Instead of: "Research productivity tips"

Say: "Research productivity tips and create a bulleted list of the top 10 insights with video examples and links."

Example formats you can request:

  • Bulleted summary with examples

  • Comparison table

  • Step-by-step breakdown

  • Pattern analysis with categories

  • Scripts ready to use


Iterate Based on Results

Research is a conversation, not a one-shot question.

Example workflow:

  1. "Find viral content about [topic]"

  2. Review results

  3. "Now focus on the top 3 and analyze their editing styles"

  4. "Which of these would work best for Instagram vs TikTok?"

  5. "Write me a script using the Instagram approach"


Use Your Brand Profile

Turn on Brand Profile when researching to get personalized insights.

Example: "Find viral fitness content and analyze how I can adapt these patterns to match my brand voice."

With Brand Profile on, LazyLines knows your voice, audience, and content pillars—so recommendations are automatically tailored to you.


Adding Links vs. Using Search

When to paste links directly:

  • You already know which content you want to analyze

  • You're analyzing specific competitors

  • You want to repurpose your own content

When to use search:

  • You're discovering what's trending

  • You want to find top performers in a niche

  • You're exploring a new topic

Pro tip: You can combine both! "Analyze [paste 3 competitor links] and also search for the top 10 TikToks about [topic] to see if there are other approaches I'm missing."


Common Research Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Too generic: "Tell me about productivity"

✅ Specific and actionable: "Find 10 viral productivity videos and create 5 scripts inspired by their hooks"

❌ Not using follow-ups: Getting one answer and moving on

✅ Dig deeper: Ask 3-5 follow-up questions to extract maximum value

❌ Ignoring context: "Research this topic"

✅ Provide context: "I'm targeting [audience]. Research [topic] and show me what resonates with them"

❌ Forgetting your Brand Profile: Researching without context

✅ Turn on Brand Profile: Get personalized insights tailored to your brand
