The Problem
Most YouTube creators waste hours brainstorming video ideas with no system. They stare at a blank page, scroll through competitors for inspiration, and end up copying what others already made. The result?
- 2-3 mediocre ideas per hour of brainstorming
- No data to back whether ideas will perform
- Constant feeling of "running out of ideas"
- Ideas based on gut feeling, not audience demand
- Copying competitors instead of finding original angles
The creators who grow fastest don't brainstorm harder — they use data to find what audiences already want, then create original angles on proven topics.
The Solution
OutlierKit finds videos that massively outperformed expectations — proof of what audiences want. Then AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude) extract the patterns and generate dozens of fresh ideas based on those proven signals. Finally, you validate every idea against real search data so you only invest time in topics with confirmed demand.
Data-driven ideation beats gut-feeling brainstorming every time.
Before vs. After: The Impact
Traditional Brainstorming
- Random brainstorming with no system
- Decisions driven by gut feeling
- 2-3 ideas per hour at best
- No data to validate ideas before filming
- End up copying competitors

The 5-Step Pipeline at a Glance
Step-by-Step: The Full Ideation Pipeline
Follow these 5 steps to generate 30 validated video ideas in about 10 minutes. Each step builds on the previous one.
Find Outlier Videos in Your Niche
OutlierKit Outlier FinderUse OutlierKit's Outlier Finder to discover videos that massively outperformed expectations in your niche. These aren't just popular videos — they're videos that got 5x, 10x, or even 50x more views than the channel's average. Outlier videos reveal what audiences actually want to watch, not what creators think they want.
- Enter your niche or topic area into Outlier Finder
- Sort by outlier score to find the biggest overperformers
- Note the topics, titles, and angles of top outliers
- Save 10-15 outlier videos for pattern analysis in the next step

Pro Tip: Focus on outliers from smaller channels (under 100K subs) — these prove a topic has genuine demand, not just audience loyalty. A video with 500K views on a 10K-subscriber channel is a stronger signal than 500K views on a 5M-subscriber channel.
Analyze What Made Them Work
OutlierKit Deep ResearchFeed your outlier discoveries into OutlierKit's Deep Research tool for a comprehensive breakdown. Deep Research analyzes why those topics resonated — examining search trends, audience demographics, content gaps, and timing factors that contributed to their success.
- Enter your top outlier topics into Deep Research
- Review the audience demand analysis for each topic
- Identify content gaps — topics with demand but few quality videos
- Note seasonal and trending patterns that influenced performance

Pro Tip: Pay special attention to the "content gap" signals in Deep Research — these are topics where viewer demand significantly outpaces available content. Content gaps are the highest-opportunity ideas because you're filling unmet demand.
Extract Patterns & Angles with AI
ChatGPT
Gemini
ClaudeNow feed your outlier data and Deep Research insights into your preferred AI tool. The AI will identify recurring patterns across your outliers — common angles, emotional triggers, title structures, and content formats that drive outsized performance.
Choose your AI tool — exact prompt for each:
ChatGPT— Best for creative pattern recognition and storytelling anglesI've researched outlier YouTube videos in [your niche] using OutlierKit. Here are the top-performing videos that got 5-50x more views than expected: [Paste your outlier data: titles, view counts, channel sizes, outlier scores] Analyze these outliers and identify: 1. The top 5 recurring topic patterns 2. Title structures that appear most often 3. Emotional hooks or curiosity gaps used 4. Content angles that differentiate these from average videos 5. Any timing or seasonal patterns For each pattern, explain WHY it likely resonated with viewers.
Gemini— Best for data-driven analysis and trend identificationAnalyze these outlier YouTube videos from my niche [your niche]. Each video significantly outperformed its channel's average: [Paste your OutlierKit outlier data and Deep Research insights] Provide a data-driven analysis: 1. Statistical patterns: what do the top outliers have in common? 2. Search trend correlations: which topics align with rising search interest? 3. Content format patterns: listicles vs. tutorials vs. comparisons vs. stories 4. Gap analysis: what successful angles are underrepresented? 5. Audience psychology: what needs or desires do these videos address? Rank patterns by frequency and potential impact.
Claude— Best for analytical depth and structured breakdownsI've used OutlierKit to find outlier videos in [your niche] — videos that got 5-50x their expected views. I also ran Deep Research to understand the underlying demand. Here's my data: [Paste outlier data + Deep Research insights] Perform a structured analysis: 1. PATTERN MAPPING: Group these outliers by recurring themes. What core topics appear across multiple outliers? 2. ANGLE ANALYSIS: What specific angles or framings made these stand out from normal videos on similar topics? 3. AUDIENCE SIGNALS: What do these outliers tell us about what the audience craves but isn't getting enough of? 4. DIFFERENTIATION: How could a new creator approach these proven topics with a fresh angle? 5. RISK ASSESSMENT: Which patterns are likely sustainable vs. one-time trends?
Pro Tip: Copy-paste actual data from OutlierKit — specific titles, view counts, and outlier scores. The more real data you give the AI, the more actionable its pattern analysis will be. Vague prompts produce vague results.
Generate 30 Video Ideas
ChatGPT
Gemini
ClaudeUsing the patterns identified in Step 3, have AI generate 30 concrete video ideas. Each idea should be rooted in a proven pattern but offer a fresh angle — you're not copying outliers, you're building on what made them work.
Choose your AI tool — exact prompt for each:
ChatGPT— Best for creative variety and unexpected anglesBased on the outlier patterns we identified: [Paste pattern analysis from Step 3] Generate 30 YouTube video ideas for my channel in [your niche]. For each idea, provide: - A working title (optimized for click-through rate) - The proven pattern it's based on - Why this specific angle hasn't been fully exploited yet Requirements: - 10 ideas based on the top-performing pattern - 10 ideas that combine two successful patterns - 10 ideas that take a proven topic into an underexplored angle Make titles specific and compelling — no generic filler like "Everything You Need to Know."
Gemini— Best for trend-aligned ideas with current relevanceUsing these proven outlier patterns from my niche [your niche]: [Paste pattern analysis from Step 3] Generate 30 YouTube video ideas. Structure them as: CATEGORY 1 — High-Confidence (10 ideas): Based directly on the strongest patterns with highest search demand. CATEGORY 2 — Pattern Combos (10 ideas): Merge two successful patterns into one fresh concept. CATEGORY 3 — Blue Ocean (10 ideas): Apply proven patterns to adjacent topics or underserved audiences. For each idea include: Title, target keyword, estimated search interest (high/medium/low), and the pattern it leverages.
Claude— Best for strategic depth and prioritizationFrom our outlier analysis in [your niche], we identified these winning patterns: [Paste pattern analysis from Step 3] Generate 30 YouTube video ideas organized by strategic value: TIER 1 — PROVEN DEMAND (10 ideas): Topics where outlier data proves strong audience interest. Lowest risk, highest confidence. TIER 2 — EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES (10 ideas): Ideas that combine proven patterns with emerging trends or content gaps. TIER 3 — DIFFERENTIATED ANGLES (10 ideas): Fresh takes on proven topics that no one else is doing yet. For each idea: Working title, the pattern it leverages, why it should work, and one potential risk to watch for. Prioritize ideas where data signal is strongest.
Pro Tip: Don't stop at the first 30 ideas. Pick your favorite 5 ideas and ask the AI to generate 5 variations of each — different angles, title approaches, or audience segments. This gives you 25 refined options from your strongest concepts.
Validate & Prioritize with Search Data
OutlierKit Keyword ResearchNow validate your AI-generated ideas against real search data. Use OutlierKit's Keyword Research tool to check search volume, competition, and ranking difficulty for each idea. The best ideas combine proven outlier patterns with strong, unmet search demand.
- Enter each video idea as a keyword query in Keyword Research
- Check monthly search volume — prioritize ideas with 1K+ searches/month
- Evaluate competition — look for topics where top videos have under 100K views
- Score each idea: High Volume + Low Competition = top priority
- Create your final ranked list of 10-15 validated ideas

Pro Tip: Create a simple scoring system: give each idea 1-5 points for search volume and 1-5 points for low competition. Ideas scoring 8+ out of 10 should be your first videos. This removes emotion from the decision and lets data drive your content calendar.
