You pay only for what runs. - Niches, scored: Every niche ranked on demand, competition, room for small channels, momentum, how often hits repeat, and fit with long videos. As a list or a map. - Niche verdict: AI analysts investigate a niche with our data and sign a verdict: enter or not, the lane to take, title ideas, a plan and a 30-day test. A second analyst cross-examines it first. - Find a channel's niche: Search a channel by name or @handle and land on the niche it belongs to. - Niche history: Each niche's channels, small winners, median views and newcomers, day by day: tell a rising niche from a crowding one. ### Find an idea Videos nobody makes yet, for viewers who already watch the subject. - Untapped ideas: A title format that already wins on nearby subjects, on a subject the same viewers watch and nobody makes it on. With the other formats that would work too. - Trending subjects: Subjects making more hit videos than usual these last 60 days, flagged on every idea: the audience is there now. - Idea verdict: The analysts test one idea: who already does it, whether it repeats, how to angle it, and a test to run. - Title check: A title did well: was it the title or the subject? Every video using the same pattern, measured against its own channel, by niche. - Outliers: This month's videos at 5 times their channel's usual views or more, in every niche, filtered by period and channel size. - Video ideas for your channel: 10 ideas built from the recent hits of the channels your viewers also watch, each with its hook and the hits it comes from. - Thumbnail check: Your thumbnail against the thumbnails of the niche's recent hits: 6 scores, what the hits share, what to fix first. ### Know a channel Yours, or one you'd like to beat. - Channel check: What works on a channel and what drags it down: its formats, title habits, subjects, peers, and the audience gaps it could take. - Most replayed moments: Where viewers rewind on its most viewed videos, and what is said at each peak. Part of every channel check. - Your YouTube Analytics: Connect your channel with Google once: checking it adds its click-through, how much of each video is watched, who watches and from where. - Channel strategy: What to keep, what to stop, 8 video ideas checked against what's already published, and a 5-video test. Red-teamed before you see it. - Launch plan: After a verdict that says go: your first 10 videos in order, how often to publish, and the views that tell you it works. - Watchlist and tracker: Follow niches, ideas and up to 5 competitors side by side. A weekly email says what moved, only when something did. ### Explore audiences Built from what YouTube recommends beside each video. - Audience maps: Where a channel's viewers go next and come from, on close, medium and far rings, or as a network. Filter by views, breakout, length and language. - Map any channel: Add a channel we don't have yet, or refresh one, and watch its map fill in while we read it. - Collab partners: Channels between a fifth and five times your size that share your viewers, strongest overlap first. ### Made for your channel Set once, used everywhere. - Your channel profile: Country, viewers' ages, languages, video length and how you produce: every verdict and strategy judges for it. - Results as they come: Analyses show what they find while they run: the evidence, the channels that flop, the objections, the diagnosis before the strategy. - PDF and Markdown: Every verdict downloads as a clean PDF or as Markdown, and waits in your library. ### Build on it For your scripts, tools and agents. - API: Every feature from your own code, with a key: niches, ideas, the audience mesh and every analysis. - For AI agents: One Markdown file that teaches your agent the API, including when to ask you before spending credits. - Inside Claude: Connect your account to Claude on the web, desktop or Claude Code, and ask about niches, outliers and channels in plain words. ## Questions - Where does the data come from? From our own crawl of public YouTube pages: channels, their videos and the channels YouTube recommends beside them. It refreshes every day, and nobody else maps channels by who watches them. - What does a verdict tell me? Whether a new channel with your profile should enter the niche now, test it first or stay out, with the lane to take, title ideas, a 30-day test and the videos that prove each point. - Is it only for faceless or AI channels? No. You set who your channel is for: country, ages, languages, video length and how you produce. Every ranking and verdict runs for that profile. - Do I need to connect my YouTube channel? No. Connecting it with Google is optional: it adds your private analytics to your channel check and finds who to collab with. - What if an analysis fails? Its credits come back to your balance automatically. You only pay for analyses that finish. - Is there a subscription? No. You buy credits when you need them and they never expire. ## For AI agents - [API guide for agents](https://nichefinder.si/api/public/agents.md): every endpoint, in Markdown - MCP server: https://nichefinder.si/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in).
