The problem it solves

If you manage two YouTube channels, there's no built-in way to copy a playlist from one to the other, so you're stuck rebuilding it video by video. That's tedious work you have to redo every time a playlist changes.

Who it fits

Content creators, educators, or businesses managing more than one YouTube channel.

How it works

  1. Pulls every public playlist from your source YouTube channel
  2. For each playlist, gathers all its videos and skips any that are private or unavailable
  3. Creates a matching new playlist on your target channel
  4. Adds all the videos into the new playlist, continuing even if a few videos fail
What you get

Channels rebuilt without touching a thing

Every playlist and video from your source channel gets rebuilt on your new channel automatically, so you don't recreate anything by hand.

What you get

A complete copy of your playlists, recreated with their videos on the second channel.

What you need

Two YouTube accounts, one for each channel.

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.
