What it does

Automates YouTube channel management by creating, optimizing, and publishing videos 24/7 using AI agents and integrating with the Gemini API or OpenAI

Install / run

git clone https://github.com/darkzOGx/youtube-automation-agent.git

When to use it

•You need to consistently publish high-quality YouTube videos without manual intervention
•Your startup relies on YouTube as a primary marketing channel and needs automated content creation
•You want to optimize your YouTube video titles, descriptions, and tags for better discoverability without manual effort

Quick start

1Copy the example configuration from the README and create a new file named `config.json` in the project root
2Edit the `config.json` file to include your YouTube API credentials and Gemini API or OpenAI settings
3Run the command `node index.js` to start the automation agent
4Verify that the agent is creating and publishing videos as expected by checking your YouTube channel and the agent's logs
5Adjust the `config.json` file as needed to fine-tune the agent's behavior and video creation settings

Ready-to-paste prompt

Edit the `config.json` file to include a prompt like `{"title": "My Automated Video", "description": "This is a test video", "tags": ["automation", "youtube"]}` to create a new video with the specified title, description, and tags

Heads up: Make sure you have a Gemini API or OpenAI account and have replaced the placeholder API keys in the `config.json` file with your actual API credentials to avoid authentication errors
