The problem it solves

Keeping a record of everything you've published on YouTube means digging back through your channel and copying details by hand. Without a running list, it's hard to plan future content, report on what you've made, or find an old video's details quickly.

Who it fits

A content creator, marketer, or media team that wants a searchable record of everything published on their YouTube channel.

How it works

  1. The automation connects to your YouTube channel and pulls every uploaded video
  2. Each video's title, description, tags, and publish date are collected
  3. Captions are retrieved when available
  4. The details are written into your Google Sheets document, updating existing rows as needed
What you get

A searchable record of everything you've published

Every YouTube video you publish gets logged automatically in Google Sheets with its title, description, and captions.

What you get

An always current Google Sheets database of every video you've published, with full metadata.

What you need

A Google account with YouTube and Google Sheets 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.
