Tips for Using This Agent

• Run it directly on a channel's main page or video. The agent works best when you're on a YouTube channel's homepage, About page, or watching one of their videos. This gives it clear context about the channel's content and style.
• Use it to expand your content diet. Found a creator you love but have already watched everything? Run the agent to discover similar channels covering the same topics or with a comparable presentation style.
• Great for research and competitive analysis. If you're a creator yourself, use this agent to find channels in your niche that you might want to study, collaborate with, or differentiate yourself from.
• Try it on channels across different niches. Whether you're into tech reviews, cooking tutorials, true crime, or video essays, the agent can surface creators you might never have found through YouTube's own recommendations.
• Combine with YouTube's algorithm. After discovering new channels through the agent, subscribing and watching a few videos will help YouTube's recommendations surface even more related content over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information does the agent use to find similar channels?‍

The agent analyzes the channel's content themes, video topics, presentation style, and audience focus based on the page you're viewing. It then identifies other creators who cover similar subjects or appeal to the same type of viewer.

Does it work on any YouTube page?

‍It works best on channel homepages, About pages, and individual video pages. Running it on YouTube's homepage or search results may not provide enough context for accurate recommendations.

Why are some recommended channels very different from what I expected?

‍The agent looks at multiple factors when finding alternatives. Sometimes it surfaces channels with a similar tone or audience demographic rather than identical subject matter, which can lead to interesting discoveries.

Can I use this to find channels in a specific language or region?

‍The default agent focuses on content similarity regardless of language. If you want region-specific results, you can modify the agent's prompts in MindStudio to prioritize certain languages or locations.

Does this agent work on mobile?

‍Currently, it requires the MindStudio Chrome Extension, so it's designed for desktop browsers. Mobile support may be available in future updates.

Is my browsing data stored or shared?

‍The agent processes the content of the page you're viewing to generate recommendations. Browsing data or data entered into the AI Agent is NOT shared or used for AI Model Training.
