# ContHunt > ContHunt is a short-form video research tool for marketers, creators and ecommerce teams. Its Deep Search takes one question, searches TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, watches 500 to 1,000 videos in under five minutes and returns a ranked answer backed by the video data. Last updated: 2026-10-18 ContHunt supports three platforms today: TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. For each analyzed video it reports the hook, the content, the audience, a possible virality concept and the metrics, plus how relevant the video is to the question that was asked. Scores are ContHunt's analysis of the content and its fit to the question. They are not measured viewer retention. After a Deep Search finishes you can keep talking to the agent to dig further into the results. ## Product facts - What it is: a research product for finding and analyzing short-form video, so teams can see what hooks, formats and trends work in a niche before they brief a creator or plan an ad. - Platforms: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts.
