The problem it solves

You want to know the moment a YouTube channel you follow posts something new, but checking manually means you're always a step behind or you miss it entirely. Relying on the platform's own notifications isn't always reliable.

Who it fits

Anyone who manages a community, team, or fan group and wants to share new videos from a specific channel right away.

How it works

  1. Automation checks the YouTube channel on a set schedule
  2. New videos are detected since the last check
  3. A message with the video is sent to your Telegram chat
  4. Already-seen videos are never sent twice
What you get

New videos shared with your group instantly

You get new videos from any YouTube channel posted straight to your Telegram chat the moment they go live.

What you get

A Telegram message announcing each new video as soon as it's published.

What you need

A Google account for YouTube access and a Telegram bot.

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.
