ShowStencil

What it does

Most YouTube creators watch competitors blow up and have no idea why. ShowStencil fixes that. It tracks your competitors, finds content gaps, generates video ideas, creates AI thumbnails, and gives you clear insights — all in one place. No more guessing. Just know what to create next. Free to start. Beta spots open now.

YouTube analytics for serious creators

Real-time viral alerts the moment a competitor breaks out. Deep AI breakdowns of every competitor channel — hook patterns, pacing, thumbnails, retention. And a Monday digest that tells you exactly what to make next. Score your gap, study your niche, ship better videos. That's the loop. Connect once. We watch your competitors 24/7 — viral alerts the second they pop, deep AI breakdowns of every video they publish, niche detection, gap scoring, idea generation. The Monday digest ties it all together. Not a dashboard with a hundred charts you'll never look at. Five sharp tools, each tuned for one decision a creator makes every week. A 0–100 score per dimension: views, CTR, watch time, upload…from showstencil.com

  Competitor Finder2025 · champsignal.com · ▲17

  I built a simple tool to help founders figure out who their actual competitors are! You know... the ones your potential customers already know and compare you to. Just paste your domain, and we generate a focused list of 10 competitors with names, sites, and a quick positioning note for each. Why I built it: I run a competitor monitoring tool (https://champsignal.com), and I realized that before people can monitor competitors… they first need to find them. This is harder than you think for people that have not been around for years aha (It's free and doesn't require signup) Would…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
