The problem it solves

You want to stay on top of new videos from channels you care about, but checking YouTube manually or relying on its algorithm means you miss things. Notifications get buried, and you find out about a video days later. You want a reliable heads-up the moment something new is posted.

Who it fits

Marketers, content creators, and anyone who wants to stay current on specific YouTube channels.

How it works

  1. You submit the YouTube channels you want to follow
  2. The system checks each channel's feed for new videos
  3. New uploads from the last few days are gathered and filtered
  4. You receive an email, either one per video or a single digest, with thumbnails and links
What you get

New videos you never miss from channels you follow

You get an email the moment your favorite YouTube channels post something new.

What you get

Email notifications with video details and links whenever a followed channel posts.

What you need

A Gmail account and an OpenAI API key.

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.
