The problem it solves

You have a handful of YouTube channels to keep an eye on, but checking each one for new uploads eats into your day. New videos slip past you, and your tracking sheet is always a step behind.

Who it fits

Content teams, agencies, or analysts who track new uploads across multiple YouTube channels.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system checks the list of channels you're tracking
  2. It looks up the latest videos published on each channel
  3. It pulls the video title, link, and publish date
  4. The new videos are added as rows in your Google Sheet
What you get

New video uploads that appear in your sheet automatically

New videos from the YouTube channels you track show up in your spreadsheet without any manual checking.

What you get

An updated Google Sheet listing every new video from your tracked channels.

What you need

A Google account with Sheets access and YouTube API access.

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.
