What this is

A real workflow someone ran with an AI agent. Copy the prompt into your agent, connect the listed tools, and it runs for you.

  1. Copy the prompt below.
  2. Paste it into your agent (we recommend Grok Bot) and connect the tools listed: whatever the prompt mentions.
  3. Run it once, check the result, then put it on a schedule if it repeats.

The prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Connect to my channel via the YouTube Data API. Pull every video's title, description and links, plus 12 months of search queries from Analytics. Flag titles that don't match what people search, propose rewrites, and list every description link that 404s. Draft changes only; I approve before updating.

Pitfalls & reliability

  • Specific numbers (861 videos, 23 titles, 100+ dead links).

Evidence

Specific numbers (861 videos, 23 titles, 100+ dead links). Marketing check: PASS: individual writer/creator. The post doesn't push a product. Duplicate check vs agentusecases.ai: no match in sitemap slugs
