The problem it solves

You know Shorts need catchy titles and searchable descriptions to get views, but writing them for every single video eats into time you'd rather spend creating. Filling out upload details is repetitive, so videos sit unpublished longer than they should.

Who it fits

Content creators and social media managers who post YouTube Shorts regularly.

How it works

  1. Saving a new video file to a Google Drive folder starts the automation
  2. Gemini reads the filename to understand what the video is about
  3. Gemini writes a catchy title, SEO description, and relevant tags
  4. The video uploads to YouTube with that information attached
  5. A Slack message confirms the upload went live
What you get

Titles and tags written the moment you upload

Every Short you drop into Google Drive gets a catchy SEO title, description, and tags before it publishes straight to YouTube.

What you get

A published YouTube Short with an AI-written title, description, and tags, plus a Slack confirmation.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a YouTube channel, a Gemini API key, and a Slack workspace.

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.
