Use Cases

Video content meets conversation

See how businesses and creators leverage YouTube data through AI agents for content discovery, analytics, and audience engagement.

Customer Support with Video Tutorials

A customer asks 'How do I set up two-factor authentication?' Your AI Agent searches YouTube for your company's tutorial library, finds the matching how-to video, and shares the direct link with title and description. The customer gets visual, step-by-step guidance. Your support team avoids writing the same instructions repeatedly.

Creator Analytics on Demand

A YouTube creator messages their management AI Agent: 'How did my channel do this month?' The agent pulls channel statistics from YouTube, fetches recent video performance data, and compiles a summary of subscriber growth, total views, and top-performing videos. The creator gets their monthly report through a chat message instead of navigating YouTube Studio dashboards.

Content Research for Marketing Teams

A content strategist asks 'What are the most popular videos about sustainable packaging right now?' The AI Agent searches YouTube with the topic, retrieves trending results sorted by view count, and presents titles with engagement metrics. The strategist identifies content gaps and trending angles through a two-minute chat. Market research that used to take an afternoon happens in a conversation.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent search YouTube for relevant videos?

The agent uses YouTube's Search API with query terms, returning videos, channels, or playlists matched by relevance. It can filter by type (video, channel, playlist), region, and language. Results include titles, thumbnails, channel names, and view counts for easy evaluation.

Can the agent access analytics for my YouTube channel?

Yes. The agent retrieves channel statistics including subscriber count, total view count, video count, and recent activity using the Channel Statistics endpoint. For individual video performance, it pulls view counts, likes, comments, and duration from the Video Details API.

What YouTube permissions does Tars need?

Tars connects via OAuth with YouTube Data API scopes including youtube.readonly for searching and reading data, youtube.force-ssl for content management, and youtube.upload if you need video upload capabilities. You authorize through your Google account and can revoke access from Google's security settings.

Does Tars store YouTube video data or analytics?

No. Video details, search results, and channel statistics are fetched in real time from YouTube's API during conversations. Tars does not maintain a separate database of your YouTube data. Each query retrieves fresh information from the platform.

Can the agent manage video uploads and metadata updates?

Yes. With the appropriate OAuth scopes, the agent supports video uploads from file paths, metadata updates (title, description, tags), thumbnail changes, and video deletion. Content management operations happen through chat commands.

How is this different from using YouTube Studio directly?

YouTube Studio is a visual dashboard designed for in-depth content management. Tars makes YouTube data conversational, letting creators and teams get quick answers, search content, and check analytics from Slack, WhatsApp, or any chat channel without navigating YouTube's interface.

Can the agent retrieve video captions and transcripts?

Yes, for videos you own. The agent lists available caption tracks for a video and downloads the transcript text. This is useful for content repurposing, accessibility checks, or feeding video content into other workflows. Third-party videos require caption tracks to be public.

Can the agent find trending videos in a specific country?

Yes. The agent uses YouTube's List Most Popular Videos endpoint with a region code parameter. It returns currently trending videos for any supported country, including titles, view counts, and channel names. Useful for content teams tracking regional trends.
