## What it does

- Weekly AI report: reads the channel's real YouTube Analytics data (views, retention, subscriber gain, watch hours) and outputs a short, specific briefing — what differentiated the best-performing video, whether growth is above or below similar channels, one concrete action to take this week
- Monetization progress tracking: live progress bars toward YPP thresholds (500 subs / 3,000 hrs for fan-funding; 1,000 subs / 4,000 hrs for full ad revenue), with a real forecast date calculated from actual growth rate
- Audience chart analysis: upload a screenshot of Studio's "When your viewers are on YouTube" heatmap — the tool reads the top 3 upload windows and converts them to the user's local timezone (this data is not accessible via YouTube's public API)
- Top-3 video analysis: each week's highest-performing videos by composite engagement score, with AI insight into why each worked (paid subscribers); free users get a teaser hook
- Momentum streak: consecutive-report streak counter + this week's subscriber gain vs. the user's historical weekly average (paid)
- Comment sentiment: honest AI read of % positive comments across the week's top videos (free); recurring themes and requests (paid)
- Ad targeting: specific demographic-based ad-targeting bullets from real audience data (paid); hook teaser (free)
- Trending in niche: identifies 2–3 specific sub-topics in the creator's niche showing disproportionate engagement (paid); hook teaser (free)
- Thumbnail CTR prediction: upload a thumbnail + title before publishing — AI rates the predicted CTR tier (low/medium/high) with specific strengths, risks, and improvements; 1 free lifetime prediction, 8/month for subscribers
