Following and Explore

The feed, what each tab shows, and what you can do with a video once you find it.

The feed lives in Videos in the sidebar. Two tabs, each answering a different question.

​

​

Following

Only the creators you follow, newest first. No inference, no picking.

​

Use this when you want to know what your actual competitors did this week rather than what is happening in the category.

​

Three presets narrow it to the outliers.

  • Working now is 5× or more in the last 7 days.

  • Hidden gems is 5× or more but under 50K views, over the last 90 days.

  • Proven winners is 10× or more this year.

Videos, Following tab with the Presets menu open: “Working now”, “Hidden gems”, “Proven winners”

Set your own filters and Save preset keeps them in this browser. Tick Open Following with this preset and Following opens with it.

​

​

Explore

What is working in your space, from creators you do not follow yet.

​

It is built from your My Brand, including your content topics. Vamos rebuilds it every 7 days, on your workspace's own day, and refreshes it daily. It looks at the last 7 days first and reaches back up to 30.

​

With nothing searched, Explore shows two rows.

  • Hooks for you this week takes hooks from videos taking off right now and rewrites them for your brand.

  • From last week holds videos from creators you do not follow.

Explore tab with an empty search box, the “Hooks for you this week” row, and “From last week” below

If Explore feels generic, My Brand is where to look first. See How Explore is built.

​

​

Search

The search box sits on Explore. Any topic, across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

​

Search reads an index of short-form video first and goes live when the index comes up short, which is why some queries return instantly and others take a moment.

​

Results split into Videos, Creators and Hooks.

​

YouTube is thinner here than the other two, because less of it is indexed. For long-form, pick YouTube long in the platform filter. For a deeper pass, ask in chat instead.

​

​

What to do with a video

Every card has Add to chat, More like this (the layers icon) and a save button. Open the card for the rest.

  • Add to chat brings the video into a conversation so you can ask anything about it.

  • Recreate for me, inside an opened video, asks Vamos to recreate it for your brand in your voice.

  • More like this finds neighbours.

​

Opening a video shows the numbers and the breakdown.

Opened video: “22.2X their typical video”, Hook tab, and buttons “Recreate for me”, “Add to chat”, “More like this”

You can also save it to a Collection with a note, which is how you build up a set before handing the whole thing to a chat.

​

A card shows an outlier score when Vamos knows that creator's typical views, so search results carry none. That is how far the video beat what its own channel normally gets, not how it compares to the platform. See The outlier score.

​

​

Asking about the whole page

Videos has an Ask AI panel. It works on the videos on the page in front of you. Its prefilled starts follow the page: on Following they look at what your creators posted this week and the patterns across them, and on a search they look at what the top results share and pull out their hooks.

​

​

On the free plan

Videos shows a sample rather than the whole feed. Inside an opened video, the transcript, Recreate for me and Add to chat need the trial or a paid plan. Everything else on the page behaves the same.
