Jota's Brain searches YouTube for creators in the niches you edit for, collects the contact links they list on their channel, and keeps every lead in a pipeline you can actually follow up on.

Discover Channels
30 channels found
Most editors look for clients with YouTube open in one tab, a spreadsheet in another, and DMs scattered across four apps. Jota's Brain puts the search, the contact details, the outreach, and the follow-up in the same place. Here's how the app is laid out.
Where leads come from.
Where you work your leads.
Where you see what's working.
Set up once.
The workflow follows the stages the app uses for every lead. The colors below are the same ones you'll see in your Pipeline.
1Discover
Start broad, like “minecraft”, then add refinements like “smp, hardcore”. Set a subscriber range, a minimum score, up to two countries, and the contact types a channel must have. The search runs in rounds and stops on its own when new channels start costing too much quota for what they return.
Filters
Using more filters increases YouTube API quota consumption.

Every channel gets a score from 0 to 100, built from four things you can check: how often they post, their average views, their subscriber count, and how many videos they've published. Contacts come from what the creator lists in their channel description. When a channel lists nothing, the app says “No contact found” instead of guessing.

One click moves results into the Pipeline, where each lead keeps its stage, notes, favorite star, and every contact link on a single row. Search it, sort by score or views, and export to CSV or JSON whenever you need the list somewhere else.
| Favorite | Channel | Subs | Score | Stage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ★ | Hardcore Hollow | 48.2K | 84 | In Talks |
| ☆ | Ironvale SMP | 230K | 81 | Contacted |
| ☆ | Pixel Pact | 12.9K | 74 | New |
| ★ | Cobble Theory | 7.6K | 55 | Client |
4Track
Change a lead's stage as the conversation moves: New, Contacted, In Talks, Client, or Declined. Overview turns those stages into a funnel. Analytics shows your reply rate by platform, how many contacts you made each week, and which templates and niches bring in clients.

Example numbers. Yours start at zero and fill in as you change stages.
Finding a channel is the easy part. These are the parts that keep prospecting from turning into a mess.
Paste the name or URL of a past client or a channel you'd love to edit for. Jota's Brain reads its keywords and recent videos, then finds other creators covering the same topics, with the option to hide channels you've already seen.
Channel name or URL
https://youtube.com/@YourPastClientTopics taken from the channel: hardcoresurvival100 daysmodded
Radar starts from recent videos instead of channels. Pick a topic and a window of 7, 30, or 90 days, then sort by views per day or views per subscriber. Each result shows the video that put the channel on the radar.
Sort by Views per day Published in the last 30 days
YouTube gives each API key 10,000 units a day. The quota bar shows what you've used, Advanced search lets you cap what one search can spend, and if you add more keys, the next one takes over when one runs out.
AIza••••••••••••3fQactiveAIza••••••••••••k8MstandbyTemplates cover cold and warm first contact, two follow-ups, a reply for interested leads, and a closing note. Pick a lead and the text fills in the creator's name, channel, and stats. Mark it as sent and the contact is logged for Analytics.
First contact — cold
Hey Hardcore, I've been watching Hardcore Hollow and the last few uploads are really tight. I edit long-form survival videos and would love to cut one for you as a sample. — Sam
Nine themes, from Light and Dark to seven colors. Layout stays the same; only the palette changes. Try them here.
You cut gaming, fitness, or finance videos and want more channels like the ones you've already worked with. Run Similar on a past client's channel, set a subscriber range that fits your rates, and save the ones that list a business email.
You've sent forty DMs across email, Discord, and X, and can't remember who answered. Stages, notes, and logged contacts keep it straight, and the follow-up templates are ready when someone goes quiet.
You want prospecting to be a weekly habit instead of a scramble when work dries up. Run a search on Monday, reach out to a handful of channels, and check Analytics at the end of the month to see which platforms and messages get replies.
Jota's Brain helps you find and organize prospects. It can't promise replies or clients. Your pitch and your portfolio still do that part.
Install Jota's Brain, add your free YouTube API key, and run your first search in a few minutes.
