A: Some of our tools, like Keyword Research, AI Content, Outlier, and Thumbnail Generator, can be used without an active YouTube channel. However, most of our other tools require you to connect your channel. This is because we rely on your channel's analytics and data to provide accurate and personalized suggestions. Public data alone isn’t always 100% reliable, so connecting your channel ensures you get the best results tailored to your needs. Let me know if you have any questions—we're here to help!
