What metrics did we use to find the trendiest AI creators?

We asked our influencer marketing platform to find influencers with these metrics:

👉 Followers: Between 1K and 5M

These AI influencers fit snugly in that micro-influencer space where they can wow crowds and convert them into sales.

👉 Engagement rate: Above 2%

Nobody wants to work with a dull influencer or one with fake followers. Who’s got time to use a fake follower checker?

We used our platform to analyse the audience and ensure they engaged with the content. The higher the engagement, the better.

👉 Activity level: Active

We also used our platform to find active AI influencers. There are no duds here.

👉 Growth: On the up!

All these AI influencers have had an audience growth of 20% or more over the last couple of months.

What does it mean?

These creators are trending, and their audiences are growing!
