Use Smart Search

Smart Search is one of Spate’s newest beta AI features designed to help you explore and filter trends more intuitively.

Instead of relying on exact keywords, it scans across all trends in a category and interprets the intent behind your query to return the most relevant matches — even if you don’t know the exact keyword. This way, your searches align more closely with what you mean.

Best Practices

For optimal results, begin by narrowing down the category you wish to focus on. Searching within a specific subcategory will provide you with faster and more accurate results. Smart Search will assist you in filtering within that category, making it easier to find the trends you are looking for. 

Examples

Example 1: Have a campaign coming up that draws inspiration from the 1980s? Use Smart Search to find the top trending 80s hairstyles on the rise. From there, continue applying Spate filters to further refine your results.

Example 2: Interested in exploring face concerns unrelated to acne? With Smart Search, you can identify which concerns are trending and uncover consumer interest areas beyond the obvious.Continue to add the Spate filters to continue to refine your results
