Why this exists
YouTube research used to mean 30 open tabs and a spreadsheet nobody kept up to date. So the call got made on gut.
I built OutlierKit to do that pull for you. It compares every video to its own channel's normal, so the real winners stand out. Use OutlierKit MCP in Claude, ask in plain English, and get back the table you were about to build by hand.

What is YouTube intelligence for personal brands?
It means using data from the channels your audience watches to choose your topics. OutlierKit shows which topics beat their channel's normal.
Does OutlierKit cost money?
Yes. Plans start at $29 a month. Pro is $49 a month and adds OutlierKit MCP. Max is $199 a month for teams tracking 50 or more channels. Every plan starts with a free trial, no credit card.
What is OutlierKit MCP?
It puts OutlierKit inside Claude. Ask in plain English and get the finished table back. It comes with Pro, Max and the free trial, and everything also works in the OutlierKit app.
I only post a few times a month. Is it worth it?
Yes. Fewer videos means each one matters more. Start each one from proof.
Do I need a big channel for this to work?
No. OutlierKit compares every video with its own channel's average, so small channels show up next to big ones.
Who is this not for?
