Quick overview
Quick overview Watches comments on competitor review videos through Bright Data, so no YouTube API key or quota is needed. Rules in code sort every comment into six objection types (price, performance, complexity, missing features, switching, trust) and pull out rival products viewers name. OpenAI writes the digest. How it works Runs every Monday morning or starts manually to begin a new research run. Normalizes the list of YouTube video URLs/IDs from the workflow settings and triggers a Bright Data dataset crawl to collect top or newest comments per video. Polls Bright Data until the crawl is ready, then downloads the snapshot results including any per-video errors. Filters and deduplicates the returned rows, skipping very short comments and keeping track of videos that returned errors or no comments. Classifies each comment into one or more objection themes (price, performance, complexity, missing features, switching, trust) and extracts named alternatives when someone says they switched. Ranks themes by volume and likes, selects representative quotes, and uses OpenAI to write a one-sentence insight per theme plus an overall summary. Appends one row per theme to Google Sheets and posts the run digest (including top quotes, named alternatives, and any crawl gaps) to a Slack channel. Setup Add a Bright Data HTTP Header Auth credential with Authorization: Bearer . Add an OpenAI API credential for the chat model used to generate the written summaries. Add a Slack credential and set the target channel (for example, #product) for posting the digest. Create a Google Sheet with columns run_date, theme, comments, likes, share_pct, and top_quote, then paste its URL into sheet_url in the Settings. Update video_urls (and optionally comments_per_video, sort_by, and min_comment_chars) in the Settings to control which YouTube comment sections are crawled and how many comments are collected per video.
