Frequently Asked Questions
What does engagement velocity mean here?
It is how much interaction a creator's recent posts earn relative to their audience size, rather than total follower count. A 20k-follower account with consistently high replies and reposts can outrank a 500k account that gets little engagement, which surfaces genuinely influential voices instead of just large but dormant ones.
How do I use it?
Enter a niche keyword or topic (for example 'AI agents' or 'indie SaaS'). The tool live-searches X and returns the top 25 creators ranked by engagement velocity, each with a handle, engagement rate and a recent representative post.
Is the ranking based on live X data?
Yes. It uses Grok's live X search, so the leaderboard reflects recent posting activity rather than a stale cached list. Re-running the same niche on different days can shift the order as creators' recent engagement changes.
How accurate are the follower and engagement figures?
Figures are pulled from live X data and are accurate at query time, but engagement rates are estimates derived from recent visible posts, not certified analytics. Treat them as directional for shortlisting rather than as exact audited metrics.
Can I find micro-influencers, not just big accounts?
Yes, and that is the point. Because ranking is by velocity rather than follower count, smaller high-engagement creators frequently appear, which is useful when you want affordable, authentic partnerships over expensive mega-accounts.
What niches work best?
Specific, active topics work best, such as 'developer tooling', 'climate tech' or 'creator economy'. Very broad terms like 'business' return noisier results, so narrow the niche for a cleaner, more relevant leaderboard.
