Getting Better Ideas

The quality of AI ideas depends on the data you give it. Better inputs = better outputs.

Add More Competitors#

The AI finds gaps by comparing your content to competitors. More competitors means:

• More potential gaps discovered
• Better validation (multiple proofs)
• More diverse inspiration

Quality Over Quantity#

Not all competitors are equal:

Good competitors:

• Similar subscriber count (within 2-5x)
• Same niche and audience
• Active uploaders (1+ videos/month)
• Clear performance variation (some outliers exist)

Poor competitors:

• Mega-creators (10x+ your size)
• Different niches
• Inactive channels
• No clear outliers

5 perfect competitors beat 25 random ones.

Competitor Sweet Spots by Plan#

Build Your Bookmark Library#

Bookmarks provide additional context for personalization:

• Show what topics interest you
• Indicate your research direction
• Help AI understand your preferences

Bookmark 20-30 outliers before generating ideas for best results.

Channel Profile Matters#

The AI analyzes your channel to personalize suggestions:

What Helps#

• Consistent content: Clear patterns to learn from
• Descriptive titles: AI can extract your topics
• Regular uploads: More data points

What Limits Personalization#

• New channel: Less history to analyze
• Varied content: No clear pattern
• Few videos: Limited data

If you're new, the AI relies more on competitor patterns.

Timing Your Generations#

Don't waste your monthly limit on casual exploration:

Best Times to Generate#

• Before planning your content calendar
• After adding new competitors
• When you've bookmarked 10+ new outliers
• When you're actually ready to create

Avoid Generating When#

• Just browsing casually
• You have a backlog of unused ideas
• You haven't added new research

Monthly Limits#

Free users: With 8 generations per month, make each one count. Build your research library first.

Paid users: Unlimited doesn't mean "generate constantly." Each generation works best with fresh context.

Improving Results Over Time#

Track What Works#

When you make a video based on an AI idea:

1. Note which idea it came from
2. Track how the video performs
3. Identify patterns in successful ideas

Refine Your Competitors#

Periodically review your competitor list:

• Remove inactive channels
• Add newly discovered creators
• Focus on channels whose outliers resonate with you

Keep Bookmarking#

Continuous research improves future ideas:

• The AI sees what you're interested in
• Your topic preferences become clearer
• Gap analysis gets more precise

Common Mistakes#

Generating Without Context#

Problem: Generating ideas with few competitors and no bookmarks Result: Generic, less personalized ideas Fix: Build context before generating

Ignoring Low-Star Ideas#

Problem: Only pursuing 5-star ideas Result: Missing opportunities that fit your unique strengths Fix: Review all ideas for personal fit

Not Watching Proof Videos#

Problem: Taking the idea without studying the proofs Result: Missing crucial context on execution Fix: Watch 2-3 proofs before creating

Generating Too Often#

Problem: Constant regeneration without acting on ideas Result: Wasted quota, idea fatigue Fix: Generate when ready to act, not to browse
