# Train Your Instagram Algorithm

## Action

Manually interact with niche content on Instagram to **curate the Explore page** for the AI scraper.

## Procedure

Before running the Claude **Creator Finder** agent:

1. Log into the Instagram account connected to your [[entity-claude-in-chrome|Claude Chrome extension]]
2. Manually **like**, **watch**, and **save** high-quality content in your specific niche
3. Avoid engagement with memes, off-niche hobbies, or irrelevant content
4. Repeat until the Explore page is dominated by niche-relevant creators

## Expected Outcome

A highly targeted Explore page that allows the AI to efficiently find relevant competitors **without wasting credits** scanning memes or irrelevant profiles.

## Why

The AI agent relies on [[concept-browser-automation]] over the Explore feed. An untrained algorithm = irrelevant content surfaced = wasted Claude credits and a polluted Creator List. See [[claim-algorithm-training-necessity]] and [[quote-algorithm-training]].

## Caveat

This is a best practice for *this* architecture. Alternative architectures could discover creators via hashtag/keyword search or third-party databases without relying on Explore curation.
