AI Target Finder
Instead of hunting for competitor accounts or hashtags by hand, you describe your ideal customer in one sentence. The AI turns that description into concrete criteria (business niche, keywords, location) and identifies where that audience already is on Instagram, before passing the list on to automatic targeting.
In detail
How it works in practice
The starting point is a natural-language description of your ideal customer (profession, industry, geographic area, type of account they follow), entered with no imposed technical vocabulary.
The AI breaks this description down into three axes used simultaneously: the business niche, a set of related keywords, and the location, then cross-references all three rather than treating each axis in isolation.
The output is a list of accounts/audiences matching the combination of criteria, to be validated before launch: nothing is sent automatically without going through targeting.
The generated list plugs directly into the platform's multi-source automatic targeting, which uses it as the basis for outreach on real devices (no API bots).
The proposed accounts can be refined manually through the whitelist/blacklist before outreach starts, to exclude irrelevant accounts or lock in priority targets.
The location setting lets you restrict a search to a specific geographic area when your ideal customer is local (city, region, country), alongside the niche and keywords.
Included in the platform's standard operation, with no additional technical setup on your side; targeting remains supervised by the support agent dedicated to each account.
Works for a single account as well as in an agency multi-account setup, since the ideal customer description is defined independently for each managed account.

Who this feature is for
Agencies
For each client account they manage, the agency describes a different ideal customer without having to rebuild a niche/keyword search by hand, useful in multi-account management where targets vary from one client to the next.
SMBs
An SMB that doesn't know Instagram targeting conventions (hashtags, reference accounts) simply describes its typical customer in everyday language and lets the AI identify the relevant niche and geographic area.
Coaches & trainers
A coach aiming at an audience defined by a specific combination (topic + geographic area, e.g. fitness coaching in a given city) gets a niche/keyword/location combination that a manual search on a single competitor account would not cover.

Frequently asked questions about AI Target Finder
No. AI Target Finder combines all three dimensions in the same search: you describe your ideal customer in natural language, the AI extracts the business niche, related keywords and geographic area, then cross-references the three to return a list of relevant accounts/audiences rather than a result based on a single filter.
Yes. The AI Target Finder output feeds multi-source automatic targeting and the whitelist/blacklist: you can remove, add or lock accounts before outreach starts. The AI proposes a starting point, it does not replace your final control.
No, it's the opposite: you describe your ideal customer in your own words (profession, industry, area, type of account followed), in everyday language. The AI translates that description into usable criteria (niche, keywords, location) to find where that audience already is on Instagram.
It adds to it. Manual targeting (targeting the followers of a specific competitor account) remains available through multi-source automatic targeting; AI Target Finder is for when you don't yet know the right reference accounts and want the AI to identify the relevant niches and areas first.
