Frequently Asked Questions — How PeakoAI Finds Trending Topics Before They Peak
What is PeakoAI?
PeakoAI is a real-time trend intelligence platform that aggregates and scores trending topics from YouTube, X (Twitter), Reddit, Bluesky, News, and Articles. Each topic is scored with a Peako Score (0–100) and tagged by phase (Emerging, Exploding, Peaking, Stable, Declining).
What is the Peako Score?
The Peako Score is an AI-powered trend momentum index from 0 to 100. A score above 70 indicates a strongly accelerating trend. The score combines engagement velocity, cross-platform signal strength, and phase progression to give a single measure of a trend's current momentum.
What are the trend phases?
PeakoAI classifies every trend into one of five phases. Emerging means the topic is showing early acceleration signals. Exploding means rapid multi-platform growth. Peaking means the trend is at maximum velocity. Stable means it has plateaued. Declining means momentum is dropping. For content creators, the highest-opportunity window is typically Emerging to Exploding.
