Channel Intelligence for YouTube Creators

Stop guessing what content to make. Analyze any channel—yours or competitors—to see what audiences actually want. Find gaps, validate ideas, and grow faster.

Used by creators from 10K to 500K+ subscribers

The content guessing game is exhausting

Here's what's really happening

Hours watching competitors

You spend 5+ hours weekly watching competitor channels, trying to spot what's working. By the time you find patterns, you're too drained to create.

Videos that flop

You put days into a video, hit publish... and get crickets. The algorithm didn't push it because there wasn't real demand for that topic.

Generic AI ideas

ChatGPT suggests "Top 10 Tips" that every creator has already done. You need specific ideas based on what real audiences are asking for.

The audience is telling you what to make

Every day, viewers leave comments revealing exactly what they want. The problem? Those insights are buried in thousands of comments across dozens of videos.

When someone comments "I wish you covered X..." or "What about [specific scenario]?" that's a validated video idea.

Taffy scans entire channels—all videos, all comments—and extracts these signals automatically. In minutes, not hours.

How creators use channel intelligence

Three ways to turn channel analysis into better content

1

Competitor gap analysis

Analyze your top 3 competitors' channels. See what topics their audiences request but they don't deliver.

Make the videos competitors miss
2

Validate before filming

Have an idea? Search for that topic across relevant channels. If viewers are asking for it, make it. If not, skip it.

Only create content with proven demand
3

Understand your own audience

Analyze your own channel to see what topics resonate most, what questions you haven't answered, and what your superfans love.

Creator FAQ

Common questions from YouTube creators

Can I analyze my competitors' channels?

Yes, Taffy works with any public YouTube channel. Most creators use it specifically for competitor research—to see what topics resonate with similar audiences and find gaps they can fill.

How is this different from YouTube Analytics?

YouTube Analytics shows you what happened. Taffy shows you what audiences want to happen. We analyze comments to extract requests, questions, and gaps—things YouTube Analytics can't tell you.

What size channel does this work for?

Any size. Small channels (under 10K) use it to find their niche by analyzing larger channels. Growing channels (10K-100K) use it for competitor research. Larger channels use it to understand their own audience better.

Can I export insights for my content calendar?

Yes. Export channel insights as CSV or JSON. Many creators integrate this data into Notion, Airtable, or project management tools for content planning.

Stop guessing. Start knowing.
