ThoughtLeaders
ChatGPT pluginYouTube sponsorship research
ThoughtLeaders is a YouTube sponsorship intelligence platform for brands, agencies and creators. Connect your ThoughtLeaders account to research the sponsorship market in conversation:
- Find channels: resolve a channel from its name, @handle or URL and see its audience, views and sponsorship history.
- See who sponsors what: which brands sponsor which channels and videos, how often, and in which niches.
- Discover look-alikes: channels similar to a creator you name, and channels whose audience fits a brand.
- Research topics: expand and validate YouTube content keywords against real video samples, then explore related videos and channels.
- Analyze creators: review public video and channel evidence, with limits made clear where the available data does not support a full audit.
- Explore sponsorship performance and plan channel workflows using available account data.
- Save shortlists: keep a fixed list of channels, brands or videos as a report in your ThoughtLeaders account.
Some CLI workflows are only partially available through this connection. Results come from your ThoughtLeaders account and follow its existing access. A ThoughtLeaders account is required to connect.

Skills
tl
Analyze ThoughtLeaders YouTube sponsorship, channel, brand, video, and audience data through this plugin's MCP tools. Use for multi-step data questions or custom queries; use focused skills for topic research, creator briefs, evidence reviews, saving lists, or views-guarantee questions.
tl-brand-creator-connection
Find evidence-backed connections between a named brand and a YouTube creator using the creator's public video statements. Use when the user asks about brand-creator fit, a personal angle for a specific brand and creator, or brand-grounded talking points; use tl-creator-brief for a creator profile without a brand connection.
tl-channel-authenticity
Review available YouTube channel and video performance evidence for unusual patterns before or after a sponsorship. Use to vet a channel or investigate suspicious views, engagement, or delivery.
tl-create-workflow
Turn a sponsorship sourcing or outreach goal into ordered stages, entry criteria, and ThoughtLeaders data sources. Use to design a workflow, pipeline, acquisition funnel, or channel-sourcing stages.
tl-creator-brief
Prepare an evidence-led profile of a YouTube creator from their own public video statements, or turn that profile into a creator-facing brief. Use for creator profiles, self-references, or talking points; use tl-brand-creator-connection when the central question is the fit between a named brand and creator.
tl-keyword-research
Research YouTube videos and channels by topic or content keywords. Use when a user wants to discover, validate, or refine keywords for a niche, or find channels that regularly cover a topic. Do not use for a named channel or brand, or when a curated recommender tag directly answers the request.
tl-save-report
Save a curated set of ThoughtLeaders channels, brands, videos, or sponsorships from the current conversation as a fixed-list report. Use when the user asks to save, persist, or return to a shortlist.
tl-top-partnerships
Analyze a brand user's published sponsorship performance using available ThoughtLeaders records, such as actual views and eCPM when required fields are exposed. Use for best-performing partnerships, realized CPM, ROI, or over/under-delivery questions.
tl-views-guarantee
Assess historical YouTube view performance when discussing a creator sponsorship views guarantee. Use for VG, minimum views, bundle size, likelihood to hit, or guarantee negotiation questions.
