What Is AI Trend Prediction?

AI trend prediction is the process of using artificial intelligence tools to forecast emerging topics, keywords, or content formats based on real-time data.

Instead of guessing what to post, you:

• Analyze current conversations
• Monitor rising keywords
• Automate idea discovery
• Create timely, high-traction content

✅ Use case: A creator spots a spike in “AI animation tools” using Glimpse, writes a blog the same day, and ranks on Google Discover in 48 hours.
