I'm validating a YouTube research tool—not just another AI script generator

Hey everyone,

I've been talking to YouTube creators over the past few weeks, and one thing keeps coming up:

Creating the video isn't always the hardest part.

Research is.

Before recording, many creators end up:

  • Watching competitor videos
  • Reading hundreds of comments
  • Looking for content gaps
  • Trying to figure out why a video performed well
  • Searching for trends and new angles

None of these tasks are difficult on their own, but together they can easily take hours.

That's the problem I'm trying to solve with Yuto.pro

The goal isn't to replace creativity or generate videos for you.

It's to make research faster and more structured.

The direction I'm exploring includes:

  • Finding proven content opportunities
  • Analyzing competitors in one place
  • Extracting audience questions and recurring pain points from comments
  • Identifying patterns across successful videos
  • Turning those insights into actionable content ideas

Think of it as a research assistant, not a content generator.

I'm still validating the product, so I'd love some honest feedback.

If a tool could save you several hours of YouTube research every week, what would it absolutely need to do to earn a place in your workflow?

And just as importantly:

What do current YouTube research tools still get wrong?

What's one thing AI still can't do well for YouTube creators?

AI has made scripting, editing, and brainstorming much easier.

But what part of YouTube still feels like it requires human intuition?

Interested to hear where you think AI still falls short.

What part of creating YouTube videos takes way more time than it should?

Whether you're in tech, finance, education, or gaming...

Every niche has research that eats up hours.

For gaming creators, it might be keeping up with updates, the meta, or competitor gameplay.

For others, it's trends, comments, or competitor research.

What's your biggest time sink?

Would you trust AI to do that part for you?

What's one feature you'd actually pay for in a YouTube research tool?

There are dozens of creator tools now.

Most have AI.

Most have analytics.

But what's one feature that would genuinely save you enough time to make it worth paying for?

I'm curious where creators see the most value.

What's one YouTube task that still feels unnecessarily manual in 2026?

AI has come a long way, yet creators still spend hours researching, analyzing competitors, reading comments, and looking for content opportunities.

What's the one task you wish you never had to do manually again?

And if an AI tool could reliably do it for you, would you use it—or would you still want to stay hands-on?

what part of being a YouTube creator still feels stuck in 2026?

AI has made a lot of things easier, but there are still parts of YouTube that feel surprisingly manual. ( We need to manually do the same process a lot. )

Whether it's researching ideas, analyzing competitors, finding trends, or understanding what viewers actually want...

What's the one task you wish you never had to do manually again?

I'm talking to creators while building a research tool, and I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

What part of YouTube feels unnecessarily manual in 2026?

AI has changed a lot over the past year, but it still feels like creators spend hours on repetitive tasks.

Research.

Competitor analysis.

Reading comments.

Finding content gaps.

Trend discovery.

What's one part of your YouTube workflow that still feels way too manual?

I'm building tools for creators and would love to hear what's slowing you down. Your feedback will help shape what we build next.

Looking for 10 creators to help shape a product I'm building

I'm looking for a small group of YouTube creators who don't mind giving honest feedback.

I've been building a research tool to help creators discover content opportunities, analyze competitors, and understand what viewers actually want.

The tool is free to try.

In return, I'm just looking for honest opinions:

  • What's confusing?
  • What's missing?
  • What would make you come back?

I'd much rather build with creators than build for creators.

i built this because I was tired of researching YouTube for hours

If you've ever done YouTube, you will feel this.

Every time I planned a video, I ended up with dozens of tabs open.

-Competitor videos.

-Comments.

-Notes.

-Trending topics.

It felt like the research took longer than making the video.

So I started building Yuto.pro to bring that workflow into one place.

It's still a work in progress, but I'd genuinely love feedback from other creators.

If you tried it today, what feature would make you think:

"Yep, I'd actually keep using this."

Just launched a tool for YouTube creators. I'd love your honest feedback.

hello everyone!

I've been building Yuto over the last few months to help creators spend less time researching and more time creating.

Right now it can helps you with things like:

• Competitor research
• Content ideas
• Audience insights
• Finding content opportunities

and the most important 'YouTube comments intelligence' is the hero feature as of now.

It's free to try, and I'm actively improving it based on your feedback.

If you give it a try, I'd love to know:

What's the first thing you like and what are the things you want improved?

Built a YouTube research tool. What feature would make you actually use it?

hello everyone.

i've been working on a tool called Yuto to make YouTube research a little less painful.

The goal is simple:

Instead of jumping between YouTube, comments, competitor channels, and notes, you can research everything in one place.

It's still early, and I'm sure there are plenty of things I haven't thought of.

If you had to pick one feature that would make a YouTube research tool genuinely useful, what would it be?

Happy to share the tool with anyone interested and would really appreciate honest feedback.

I'm talking to creators and trying to understand where most of the time gets lost.

Is it:

  • Finding video ideas?
  • Researching competitors?
  • Writing scripts?
  • Editing?
  • Comments
  • Thumbnails?

Or something else entirely?

Would love to hear what's slowing you down the most these days. Building yuto.pro and looking for genuine users' feedback!

If you could automate one part of being a YouTube creator, what would it be?

I'm doing research for a creator-focused product and I'm curious.

If you could instantly automate one part of your workflow, what would you choose?

  • Idea research
  • Competitor analysis
  • Thumbnail testing
  • Script writing
  • Comment analysis
  • Trend discovery

Or something else entirely?

Interested in seeing where most creators struggle today.

What am I missing from this idea? Looking for honest creator feedback

I've been building a research tool for YouTube creators.

The goal is to help creators spend less time researching and more time creating.

Right now I'm focused on:

- Video research

-Competitor analysis

- Audience insights

-Content opportunities

Before I continue building, I'd love to hear from creators.

What's one thing you wish existing YouTube tools did better?

Or what's a problem nobody seems to be solving?

Launched my Saas for YouTube creators. and its free to use...

I've been working on a tool called Yuto.pro for YouTube creators.

The problem I was trying to solve:

Every video idea required checking competitors, reading comments, finding content gaps, taking notes, and trying to understand why certain videos performed well.

So I built a tool to make that process less painful.

Still a work in progress, but it's already helping me save time during research and managing my YouTube account, from comments to video ideas.

Would love honest feedback from creators and would like to know which part of YouTube creation you wish took less time?

Building for YouTube creators. Can I borrow 2 minutes of your experience?

I'm working on a research tool yuto.pro for YouTube creators and trying to understand where people actually struggle.

Not looking to pitch anything.

I'm genuinely trying to learn.

If you're a creator, I'd love answers to just two questions:

  1. What part of content research takes the most time for you?
  2. What's one thing you wish a tool could do that currently doesn't exist?

Even short answers would be incredibly helpful.

Would any creators be willing to roast my idea?

I've been building a tool that tries to answer a simple question:

"What content should I make next, and why?"

The idea is to help creators analyze successful videos, audience feedback, and content opportunities without spending hours jumping between tabs.

I think it's useful.

But every founder thinks that about their own product.

So I'd love some outside opinions.

What's missing from creator tools today?

And what would immediately make you ignore a tool like this?

Creator feedback needed: What part of YouTube research wastes the most time?

I'm currently building yuto.pro for YouTube creators and trying hard not to fall into the trap of building features nobody wants.

Most creator tools seem focused on thumbnails, scripts, or AI generation.

I'm more interested in solving the research & management side of content creation.

Before I go further, I'd love to hear from people actually publishing videos.

What part of your research process feels repetitive, frustrating, or unnecessarily manual?

I'm genuinely looking for your honest feedback.

What am I missing? Looking for brutally honest feedback from YouTube creators

I've been working on yuto.pro for creators because I found myself spending way too much time:

  • Researching competitors
  • Reading comments
  • Looking for content gaps
  • Trying to understand why videos performed well

So I started building something that brings those insights together.

The problem is that I'm building it from my own perspective, which can be dangerous.

I'd love to hear from actual creators.

If you were building a research tool for YouTube creators, what would be the first thing you'd focus on?

What do existing tools get wrong, and what do you want in a tool that can make a huge difference for YouTubers? (looking for your honest feedback)

What's the biggest flaw you notice in this creator tool?

I've been building Yuto.pro and before adding more features, I want to understand what I'm getting wrong.

If you take a look at it, I'd love your unfiltered feedback.

Don't worry about being polite.

What's confusing?

What's missing?

What doesn't make sense?

What would make you close the tab and never come back?

Those answers are honestly more valuable to me than compliments right now.

Thanks for helping me build something creators actually want.
