We compare each video with its channel’s typical performance to identify the uploads that stand out.

Explore breakout videos with outlier scores that show how far they outperform their channel’s baseline.
Imagine your videos usually get 10,000 views. Then one reaches 100,000. That’s an outlier: a video that performs far above what’s normal for your channel.
Now imagine finding those breakout videos across your niche. You can study their topics, titles and thumbnails, spot recurring patterns and find a fresh angle for your next video.
Our Agent finds recurring patterns in titles, thumbnails, hooks and formats across your niche’s outliers. Use what stands out to shape your next video.
Go beyond view counts. Use advanced filters to find outliers that fit your niche and next video.
