Connect to YouTube channel or playlist
This step-by-step guide explains how to connect your YouTube channel or playlist to CustomGPT.ai and build an AI agent that engages your viewers through personalized, AI-driven conversations.
Connect to a YouTube channel
You can now easily create a CustomGPT.ai agent from an entire YouTube channel using our standard input modal. This feature supports a wide range of channel URL formats and ensures your agent automatically syncs with new video content from the selected channel.
