About this episode
What happens when you put ChatGPT to work as a YouTube manager? In this episode of The Jeff Adams Show, I talk through using AI to help with channel strategy, video ideas, titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and the decisions that usually eat up a creator’s day.
I also get into where its suggestions helped, where I had to use my own judgment, and what this experiment made me think about the future of running a channel.
Could you trust AI to manage your YouTube channel? I’d love to hear your take.

All right, Pedro, are we ready to do this? All right. And we're on. Well, I hired a new YouTube editor, manager. And guess what, folks? It's not human. What? It's not human? Yeah, it's not human. I got to tell you, I'm pretty impressed with this assistant. My assistant called ChatGPT. I'm telling you, AI is constantly impressing the socks out of this Jeff Adams right here. At first, I was a skeptic, I'm going, this stuff's scary, I don't know what to think about it, but the more I deal with it, I'm like, my gosh, it just takes care of the basic needs of things that would take hours and hours and hours to do. And granted, I'm going to really talk about this because I had some learning disabilities. I had a speech impediment. I was dyslexic. I had all these wrong things going with me. So things that were easy for people to do, it was difficult for me to do. And now that chat GPT and AI has come into the equation, my gosh, has my world become easier and I'm so much more productive in my life. Now let's get to what I hired it to do. I did a video about it editing videos a video of mine, one of these Jeff Adams shows and edited it. It exported it and boom, it was done. Now I did an extreme YouTube audit on one of my other channels, my vlogging channel that I have called creative on the mend. I asked it to do a deep audit, clean up thumbnails, clean up titles, descriptions, and keywords. And I probably spent three hours on the job. I gave it some access. I was working on something else. It was doing all the work. And at the same time, I had another window open and it was doing two jobs at one time, which was incredible. Absolutely incredible. So I say all that is ChatGPT is pretty much a new assistant and jobs will be de-ceasing soon. I gave it another job editing a client's reels that he did and shorts, which he had a lot of takes is the big files, but it was probably 45 minutes long, but it was only 11 reels because we left the cameras running and we let him talk through, but it cut everything up within 35 minutes. And typically going through those files, when you have an editor, you got two hours, color grading, all those things. It's mind blowing. And the fact that It audited a YouTube channel. It's mind-blowing. It corrected titles and descriptions. Now, granted, when I used this feature, I have a platform that I use called vidIQ, which is made for keywords, and it's kind of an assistant for YouTube. It's like a third-party platform. I've used it for the last three years, and it's great. But I have it hooked up to ChatGPT, so it goes through vidIQ. and helps assist and look at the channels analytics looks at hooks i mean the whole the whole nine and so my youtube professional now is chad chippy t um granted i've used it to run script ideas by and say i'm gonna talk about this today but it pretty much is helping me build my channels to where I want to get them. And this is why I think you should check this out. If you're a YouTuber, you should definitely look into that. Now you can do this with other, you know, other AI platforms. I mean, with, you know, Claude and things, et cetera. But the thing I was impressed about this, cause it worked with CapCut desktop version. And like I said, in a previous video, I use CapCut cause it's just easy for social online clips. It's got a lot of built in things and, I'm not a fan of Adobe. Adobe likes launching these payment stuff. It's hard to cancel, yada, yada. I was a big Final Cut Pro guy, but for years, they're editing software. They just never really updated anything, nothing at all. So it's just, I just like, when I saw CapCut, I go, man, this is easy, so easy. But now it's even easier because with simple tasks like this show, one camera, one voice, you can chop this thing up. and be done in no time whatsoever. So why don't you do that?
