The problem it solves

You know your audience is talking about your videos, but reading hundreds of comments one by one to gauge the mood takes hours you don't have. Important complaints or praise get buried in the scroll, and you find out about a problem days too late.

Who it fits

YouTube creators, marketers, or brand teams who want to track audience reaction to their videos without reading every comment.

How it works

  1. A team member starts the sentiment check on a chosen YouTube video
  2. The system pulls in every comment on the video, including replies
  3. Google Gemini reads each comment and rates it positive, neutral, or negative
  4. Each comment's sentiment, strength, and confidence score is added to a Google Sheet
  5. The sheet becomes a running log you can filter, sort, or chart
What you get

Audience mood you can see at a glance

Every comment on your video gets tagged as positive, neutral, or negative, giving you a clear picture of audience reaction.

What you get

An organized Google Sheet showing the sentiment, strength, and confidence score for every comment on a video.

What you need

A Google account with Sheets access and an API key for Google's Gemini AI.

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.
