What is NexLev?

Nexlev is an AI niche finder and research toolkit for faceless YouTube creators, combining a 159M+ channel database, a 40+ tool Chrome extension and an MCP connector that gives ChatGPT or Claude direct access to YouTube data.

Nexlev is a research and workflow toolkit built for faceless YouTube creators. Its centerpiece is a niche finder that draws on a database of 159M+ analyzed channels and roughly 20,000 curated niches, using 21 filters to surface high growth opportunities and estimate revenue potential. A companion Chrome extension adds more than 40 browser based research tools, including an AI thumbnail generator, sponsorship analysis, a real time channel tracker and a swipe file for saving channels worth studying. The product splits into two layers. The Lite package bundles the Chrome extension and Nexlev MCP, which lets ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor query YouTube data directly as a strategist tool. The Pro package adds the full Niche Finder, an AI RPM predictor, a larger MCP quota, n8n automation for YouTube workflows and API access at 200 requests per month. A separate N8N Pro package raises the API quota to 5,000 requests per month for creators running automated pipelines. In practice, a creator opens the niche finder, narrows the dataset with filters, saves promising channels and keywords, then tracks how those channels grow over time. The MCP connection is the most distinctive piece: it takes about 30 seconds to link an AI assistant and is listed as free for all Nexlev accounts, which turns a general chatbot into something closer to a YouTube analyst that pulls from live public data. Nexlev only ingests public metrics such as views, subscriber counts and keyword rankings, and the company states that private channel data is not collected. The audience is narrow by design. It suits faceless channel operators, channel portfolio managers and small teams who need competitive research at speed. Creators focused on on camera content, or those who already rely on a general purpose analytics suite, will find less here. Nexlev competes with established YouTube analytics platforms on niche discovery depth and AI integration rather than on broad channel management.
