Feed transparency

lurk

You can't fix a broken information environment if you can't see it.

We simulate what real audiences experience on TikTok, Instagram, and X — so you can understand the algorithmic world they live in.

Scroll

See inside every feed.

Every audience lives in a different algorithmic bubble. Lurk lets you look inside — so you can understand what they're seeing and how information is being distributed.

1B+
unique feeds

Every audience sees a completely different feed. Now you can see it too.

24/7
continuous observation

Our AI agents observe feeds around the clock, documenting every shift in real time.

Every
video captured

Video, sound, creator, and trend — captured and categorized per session.

Existing tools show you what audiences are saying. Lurk shows you what they're being shown.

How it works

Tell us who you want to understand. We'll show you their feed.

STEP 01

Build personas

Define synthetic personas that mirror your target audience — by age, location, interests, and political lean.

Train the algorithm

Over multiple sessions, we interact with the feed until the algorithm personalizes. You don't have to do anything.

One feed is a story. Thousands are a map.

Each persona shows you one audience's feed. Run thousands, and you see the patterns — which narratives are spreading, which creators are reaching different communities, and where audiences are diverging.
