FAQ
Do I need to provide a channel URL?
No. A niche keyword like "Tamil cooking channel" or "personal finance India" is enough to get started.
Does it work for new channels with no audience yet?
Yes. For new channels it shifts to niche-wide research instead of your own analytics.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT for ideas?
Every idea is backed by real evidence — an actual comment, a Reddit thread, a competitor gap, a search query. No hallucinated ideas. No generic lists.
Does it support Tamil-language channels?
Yes. Tamil search queries, Facebook Groups (as Reddit substitute), Vikatan/Dinamalar trend sources, and Tamil/Tanglish title patterns are all built in.
