Overview

This agent reviews comments on any YouTube video and groups them by sentiment. It also flags which comments have not received a reply. The result is a structured summary that helps content owners quickly understand feedback and spot opportunities to engage with the community.

Tools used by this agent

  • YouTube Data: Fetches comments and reply metadata

  • Slack: Posts summary and analysis

How does this agent work?

Trigger the agent by using a Slack slash command and entering a YouTube video ID or URL. Then, the agent:

  1. Fetches all top-level comments and replies using the YouTube API.

  2. Processes each comment to determine:

    • Sentiment (positive, negative, neutral)

    • Whether the comment received a reply

  3. Groups and summarizes:

    • Sentiment breakdown

    • Common themes

    • Unreplied comments for potential follow-up

  4. Returns a structured summary, ready for reporting or decision-making.
