The problem it solves

Keeping track of new videos added to a shared YouTube playlist means checking it yourself over and over, and it is easy to miss additions or lose track of what you have already seen. You want new items saved somewhere organized without watching the playlist all day.

Who it fits

A researcher, curator, or content team that follows a YouTube playlist and wants new additions saved automatically.

How it works

  1. Checks the YouTube playlist on a regular schedule
  2. Identifies any videos added since the last check
  3. Saves each new video to a Raindrop collection
What you get

Playlist videos saved without you checking back

New videos added to your YouTube playlist get saved straight into your Raindrop collection automatically.

What you get

A Raindrop collection that stays automatically updated with every new video added to the playlist.

What you need

A Google account for YouTube access and a Raindrop account with 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.
