The problem it solves

You know your comment section is full of video ideas, but reading through hundreds of comments and figuring out which ones are worth pursuing takes hours you don't have. Good ideas get buried under noise, and by the time you notice a comment worth acting on, the moment has often passed.

Who it fits

Content creators and channel managers who want fresh video ideas straight from their audience.

How it works

  1. You paste in a YouTube video link to start
  2. The system pulls every comment on that video
  3. AI reviews each comment and flags the ones with real content potential
  4. For flagged comments, AI researches the topic and drafts a hook and outline
  5. Everything lands in a Google Sheet, ready to review
What you get

Video ideas your audience already asked for

Your YouTube comments are scanned for standout ideas and turned into researched hooks and outlines in a spreadsheet.

What you get

A running spreadsheet of vetted video ideas, each with a topic, background research, hook, and outline.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, an OpenAI API key, and API access to Apify and Tavily.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
