What it does
This tool helps run a YouTube channel using AI. It researches topics, writes scripts, creates narration and pictures, and puts them together into finished video files. It also writes titles, descriptions and tags.
Nothing is published without you. Each finished video waits for you to check the facts, confirm you have the rights to the media, and approve it. Then it can schedule and upload the video for you.
It also reads your channel's results and viewer comments, then suggests changes for future videos. You approve or reject each suggestion. It runs on your own computer using your own API keys (password-like codes from online AI services), and you can choose from several AI providers.
Who it's for
YouTube creators who want help producing videos regularly while keeping final control over what gets posted.
