A real example
Prompt: Break down this TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notyourdad.co/video/7690739996558363934. What Trendhaus returned for this investing explainer by @notyourdad.co (pulled 29 October 2026):
- Performance: 497.5K views, 56.8K likes, 15.7K saves, 4.8K shares: 3.66× the creator's median across their 11 most recent posts.
- Hook: a reveal. In the first seconds, a man holding an apple introduces quantum computing as “the next sector to watch”, with the on-screen text “The next sector to watch”.
- Structure: 8 scenes, from “the next big thing isn't an AI bottleneck” (0–4 s) to the explanation of bits versus qubits (16–34 s), plus a follow call to action.
- Style: polished, static camera, presenter on camera in medium framing, moderate editing pace, educational mood.
Your AI then turns that into what you asked for: why it worked, what to copy, or a brief for your own version.

More than single videos
The same connection also lets your AI research TikTok more widely:
- trends surfacing right now, with an explainer video for each and whether a brand can use it;
- hooks that work in a niche, each linked to its source video;
- what competitors are posting, with views and engagement per post;
- who is using a sound, top-performing ads, and what commenters are asking for.
Questions
Can ChatGPT watch TikTok videos?
Not on its own. When you paste a TikTok link, ChatGPT can't play the video, so it can only guess from the link or the caption. With the Trendhaus connector, ChatGPT gets the video's transcript, on-screen text, a scene-by-scene breakdown, the hook, the sound, the comments and the views compared with the creator's usual posts.
Can Claude watch TikTok videos?
The same applies to Claude: it can't open a TikTok link by itself. Trendhaus works as a connector in Claude too, as well as in Perplexity and other MCP clients, with the same analysis.
Does it work for photo slideshows?
Yes. For slideshow posts, Trendhaus analyses up to 10 images and describes each one instead of a scene sequence.
Can it analyse private videos?
No. Trendhaus only reads public TikTok content, and it never logs in to or changes anything on your TikTok account.
How long does an analysis take?
Usually a few seconds to about 40 seconds, because the video is actually watched. Repeat requests for the same video are faster.
What does it cost?
You can start free with 100 actions, no card needed. One video analysis is one action.
