What They're Building

The company's public product roadmap & what they're committed to building.

Video-Based Creator Search

Kuli searches creators by what they actually post, using video content rather than follower counts or category tags as the primary signal.

Competitor & Industry Intel

The product tracks competitor content and campaign patterns so brand teams can see which formats and creator choices are working.

Creator Look-Alikes

Kuli finds similar creators by aesthetic, audience overlap, and posting cadence after a marketer provides a URL, creator, or campaign brief.

Trend Radar

The system monitors social feeds, comments, hooks, pacing, captions, and audio to identify formats gaining traction across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Contextual Brand Safety

Kuli reviews video, text, and audio against customer guidelines to reduce manual creator vetting for enterprise social teams.
