Find a niche
Add-on · Niche Researcher (sold separately)The Niche Researcher is an optional add-on, not part of the studio kit: it helps you pick a channel niche that isn't saturated before you start. Claude researches a niche with live web search, or ranks several niches from what you know and like. (Your studio already researches and fact-checks the topic of every video you make; this add-on is about which channel to start.) Each report scores demand, competition, audience value, fit for a faceless channel, content depth and policy risk, cites its sources, says plainly what it could not find, and ends with channel names, your first 10 videos and 30 ideas ready to make.

Niche report
Beginner sourdough baking
A channel that explains what is actually happening inside a sourdough loaf, so a beginner understands their bread instead of only following steps.
Mixed evidence: make a few videos before committing, and watch the weakest score. Demand and competition were judged from web sources only (no YouTube numbers).
This suits someone who likes explaining mechanisms rather than demonstrating technique, because the established channels here are bakers working on camera and an automated studio cannot match that. The evidence I gathered is thin on demand, so treat the size of the audience as unproven and test it with the first videos. The real constraint is YouTube's inauthentic-content policy, which a templated AI-made channel has to be built against from the first upload.

Scores
| Area | Score | Why | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Demand | 5/10 | Nothing I found measures current interest in beginner sourdough, and the one supporting source only describes a home-baking boom during the pandemic lockdowns. Steady evergreen questions are a judgement, not evidence. | low confidence |
| Competition | 5/10 | Established channels in the space range from about 30K to about 319K subscribers on a list updated in July 2026, so no single giant owns it, but four sizeable incumbents already answer beginner questions. | medium confidence |
| Monetisation | 6/10 | Third-party estimates put cooking and food long-form at roughly $3 to $10 RPM, with Shorts far lower; physical baking products suggest affiliate and sponsor fit, though I found no programme terms. | low confidence |
| Faceless fit | 6/10 | The science of fermentation, gluten and proofing can be told with cards and stock b-roll, but shaping and handling are hands-on demonstrations, which is what the biggest channels here do. | medium confidence |
| Content depth | 8/10 | Beginner sourdough splits into many distinct evergreen questions about starters, flour, hydration, timing, scoring and failures; no source measures them, so this is judgement from the topic's structure. | low confidence |
| Risk | 6/10 | Not a money, medical or legal niche, but YouTube's inauthentic-content policy explicitly targets mass-produced templated uploads, which is the format risk here, and food safety subjects sit close to health advice. | medium confidence |
The first five of its first 10 videos
- Why your sourdough came out flat
The most searched beginner failure: a direct search question that tests whether the channel can answer better than a recipe page. - What is actually alive in a sourdough starter
Establishes the channel's angle, the jar as an ecosystem, and sets up most later videos. - What hydration actually changes
Hydration is the single number beginners misunderstand first; a clean card-driven explainer. - A beginner's sourdough timeline
A schedule video gives new viewers a reason to subscribe and return, and it tests the how-to format. - The float test is not a pass or fail
Tests the myth-vs-fact format on a claim everyone in the niche repeats.
Each idea comes with the exact line to start it: tell Claude, or paste it into New video.
