The problem it solves

Manually copying comments off a YouTube video to study audience feedback is slow and error-prone, especially once you are tracking more than a handful of videos. You want the raw comments in one place so you can actually analyze them.

Who it fits

A YouTube creator, marketer, or data analyst tracking audience engagement across videos.

How it works

  1. You start the run and add video URLs to a tracking sheet
  2. Each video marked ready is picked up automatically
  3. Comments are pulled from the YouTube API for that video
  4. Every comment is added to the results tab in Google Sheets
  5. The video's status is updated once its comments are collected
What you get

Audience engagement you can study without scrolling

Comments from your YouTube videos get pulled together automatically into a spreadsheet ready for you to explore.

What you get

A Google Sheet listing every comment collected from your tracked YouTube videos.

What you need

A Google account with YouTube API access and a Google Sheets 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.
