The problem it solves

You follow several YouTube channels, but scrolling through each one to find what's new wastes time, and a busy channel can bury the videos you actually want to watch. You want one place to catch up on new videos without digging through subscriptions.

Who it fits

A YouTube viewer who follows many channels and wants a single daily playlist instead of scrolling subscriptions.

How it works

  1. Once a day, the system checks your list of favorite channels in a Google Sheet
  2. It collects the newest videos posted in the last 24 hours
  3. Yesterday's playlist is deleted
  4. A new playlist is created with today's videos
  5. You get a Telegram message when the new playlist is ready
What you get

Days you don't spend curating your own watchlist

You get a fresh playlist built from your favorite channels' newest videos every morning, ready to watch without any scrolling.

What you get

A fresh YouTube playlist of the day's new videos from your chosen channels.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a YouTube account, and a Telegram account.

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.
