The problem it solves

You keep opening YouTube just to see if a channel you follow posted anything new, and videos still slip past you in a crowded feed. Checking constantly wastes time you don't have.

Who it fits

Anyone tracking several YouTube channels closely, including businesses monitoring competitor or industry content.

How it works

  1. Runs every hour
  2. Pulls your list of YouTube subscriptions
  3. Checks each channel for newly posted videos
  4. Sends an email with a thumbnail for each new video
What you get

New videos you never have to hunt for

You get an email with a thumbnail every time a channel you follow posts a new video, checked every hour.

What you get

An email with a thumbnail link for every new video from the channels you follow.

What you need

A YouTube account and an email sending 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.
