How it works

  1. 01

    Describe your channel

    The narrower the description, the more usable the ideas. "Coffee" is a category; "espresso on cheap machines" is a channel.

  2. 02

    Pick a format

    Constraining to one format produces sharper ideas than leaving it open — the model stops hedging between shapes.

  3. 03

    Keep the two you would actually film

    Ten ideas exist so that two survive. The other eight did their job by helping you reject them.

What people use it for

Filling a content calendar

Generating in batches beats deciding week by week, which is how channels end up skipping uploads.

Getting unstuck

When nothing sounds appealing, reading ten options usually reveals what you were avoiding.

Exploring a new format

Constrain to a format you have never tried and see whether your topic supports it.

Frequently asked questions

Are AI-generated ideas penalised by YouTube?+

No. The policies concern the content you publish — originality, disclosure of synthetic media, reused content — not the tools used to plan it. An idea is not content. What matters is that the video you make from it is genuinely yours.

How do I know if an idea is worth making?+

The cheapest test is whether anyone in your niche has covered it and how those videos performed relative to their channel. A topic nobody covers is more often a topic with no audience than an untapped opportunity.

Should I make what I want or what performs?+

Channels that only chase performance burn out, and channels that ignore it stay small. The workable answer is a format you can sustain applied to topics with demonstrated demand.

How many ideas should I have in reserve?+

Enough that a bad week does not break the schedule — typically three to four uploads ahead. Beyond that, ideas go stale faster than you use them.

Why are some ideas too ambitious for me?+

The tool has no idea of your budget or setup. Ideas requiring travel, crews or equipment you do not own are meant to be discarded — that is part of using it.

Can I use these ideas commercially?+

Yes. Ideas are not protectable in themselves, and these are starting points rather than scripts. What you build on them is yours.
