Audit a YouTube channel and find what makes it perform

Prompt template

Analyze the YouTube channel channel: pull its stats and recent videos, rank them by views and engagement, and report the title patterns that overperform and why its best video resonated.

Overview

Sizing up a YouTube channel by hand means clicking through video after video, eyeballing view counts, doing like-to-view math in your head, and scrolling comments to guess why one video took off. By the time you've pieced together a picture of what works, you've spent an evening on it and the channel has posted again.

Why it's hard

YouTube's public API is quota-limited and skips the engagement signals that matter, and the real story, which titles overperform and why a video resonated, only emerges once you read across the whole channel and into the comments, not from any single number.

How Reduck does it

Reduck runs in your own signed-in session and turns the teardown into one ask. Your agent pulls the channel's stats and recent videos, ranks them by views and like-to-view ratio, reads the comments on the standout video, and reports the patterns behind what works. You get a channel teardown backed by evidence, not a gut feel.

What your agent does

  • Pull the channel's subscriber count, average views and posting cadence
  • Rank recent videos by views and like-to-view ratio
  • Flag the top and flop performers
  • Read the top comments on the best-performing video
  • Report the title patterns that overperform and why the standout resonated

Who it's for

  • Creators studying what works in their niche
  • Content and social teams researching competitors
  • Marketers planning a YouTube strategy

FAQ

No. Your agent reads the channel, videos and comments in your own session, including the engagement the public API leaves out.
Yes. Point it at any public channel, not just your own.
It compares each video against the channel's own averages, so a hit stands out relative to that channel rather than a global benchmark.
Yes. Save it as a script and re-run it to see how the channel's performance shifts.
