Turn new YouTube uploads into approved Discord summaries

New YouTube videos get an AI summary, a Slack approval check, and a Discord post automatically.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

You want to share your YouTube content across other channels, but writing a summary and posting it everywhere takes time, and you still want someone to check it before it goes out. That review step usually means the whole thing gets skipped.

Who it fits

Content creators or marketing teams who repurpose YouTube videos across other platforms.

How it works

  1. A new video upload is detected on your YouTube channel
  2. AI writes a concise summary of the video
  3. The summary is sent to Slack for a team member to approve or reject
  4. Approved summaries are posted automatically to Discord
  5. Every summary is logged in Google Sheets for tracking
What you get

Video recaps ready for your team to approve

You get an AI summary of every new YouTube upload sent to Slack for approval before it's posted to Discord.

What you get

An approved video summary posted to Discord, with a full log kept in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A YouTube channel with an RSS feed, an OpenAI account, a Slack workspace, a Discord account, and Google Sheets.

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.
