My Viral Hits — Your Creator DNA

Creator DNA is an automatic profile built by analyzing the TikTok videos you've posted. It captures your content patterns and creative style, powers the personalized recommendations in Discover, and serves as a foundation for AI-generated scripts.

What's in your DNA

FieldWhat it captures
Creator TrackYour content niche (lifestyle, beauty, tech, etc.)
Primary TopicYour core subject matter
Sub NicheYour specific focus within that niche
Script FormulasThe structural patterns you use most often
Emotion AnglesThe emotional hooks and angles that appear in your content
Video StyleHow your videos look and feel
Creator ToneYour language, voice, and delivery style

Below your DNA profile, you'll also see a curated list of your standout videos — the ones with outlier performance relative to your typical results.

Building your DNA

The first time you open the My Viral Hits tab, Fypro will try to build your DNA automatically. If it hasn't been built yet, click Build DNA to kick off the analysis. It usually takes 1–3 minutes depending on how many videos you've posted.

Requirements

To build your DNA, you'll need to:

  1. Connect your TikTok account (done in Personal Center)
  2. Have enough posted videos for the system to analyze

If your TikTok authorization has expired, Fypro will prompt you to reconnect.

Web

Path: Left navigation → Ideation → My DNA

Steps:

  1. Open My DNA.
  2. Connect TikTok if prompted.
  3. Build Creator DNA the first time you use it.
  4. Review your topics, script structures, emotional angles, video styles, and creator tone.
  5. Rebuild the analysis after you have published more content.

App

Path: Bottom navigation → Me → Analysis → Creator DNA

Steps:

  1. Open Creator DNA.
  2. Select Connect TikTok if your account is not connected.
  3. Review the generated Creator DNA report.
  4. Select Create with My DNA to start creating.
  5. To update the report, tap the refresh icon and select Rebuild Creator DNA.

The current Web entry is labeled My DNA; the original My Viral Hits explanation above is retained.

FAQ

How accurate is my Creator DNA?

Your Creator DNA is built from your recently posted high-performing videos — not your entire posting history. Fypro doesn't pull in every video you've ever posted. Instead, the AI identifies videos that broke out because of the content itself, filtering out videos that got high numbers mainly from your existing follower base. This keeps your DNA focused on what actually works, not just what your audience already expects from you.

If you haven't posted many viral videos yet (we recommend at least 3), or if it's been a while since you had a breakout post, the profile may be less accurate. Post more content, then hit Rebuild to improve it.

How often does Discover update?

Fypro pulls fresh trending videos from TikTok across all niches every week and adds them to Discover incrementally. That means new content shows up in your feed on a rolling weekly basis.

Can I use Ideation on a free plan?

Yes, but the free plan only gives you access to a limited set of video cards — you won't see the full trending feed.

Upgrading unlocks everything, including:

  • Full trending rankings across all niches
  • Sorting by Elite Match, Hot Viral, or Rising Outlier
  • Filtering by date range (1 Day / 1 Week / 1 Month)
  • Fresh content added every week

Why doesn't Discover seem to match my content direction?

Fypro matches recommendations based on your content profile. If the feed feels off, connecting your TikTok account gives the system access to your real posting data — which leads to much more accurate recommendations.

There's no data in My Viral Hits — what's wrong?

My Viral Hits needs a connected TikTok account to pull your posting history and build your Creator DNA. Connect your account and the data will load.
