Automatically monitor YouTube competitors and turn new videos into structured competitive intelligence.

Cross-channel intelligence reports cost $0.12 each. AI video analyses cost $0.03 per video.

Why use this?

Instead of manually watching competitor channels, this Actor automatically monitors new videos and turns them into structured competitive intelligence.

Use it to spot competitor moves, product complaints, recurring trends, content gaps, and business opportunities across multiple YouTube channels.

What it does

This Actor can:

  • Monitor up to 5 YouTube channels
  • Detect newly published videos
  • Fetch video transcripts
  • Track custom watchlist terms
  • Analyze new videos with AI
  • Detect competitor moves
  • Find repeated customer pain points
  • Surface emerging themes and trends
  • Identify content gaps
  • Identify potential business opportunities
  • Compare signals across multiple channels
  • Generate ranked executive intelligence reports
  • Deliver new reports to Discord automatically

Example use cases

Competitor monitoring

Monitor channels covering your industry and automatically detect:

  • New product launches
  • Competitor positioning
  • Feature comparisons
  • Product weaknesses
  • Changes in creator sentiment
  • Frequently mentioned brands

Product research

Track topics such as:

  • Apple
  • Samsung
  • AI
  • battery
  • foldables
  • cameras

The Actor finds relevant mentions and connects them to the original videos.

Market intelligence

Instead of reading individual transcripts manually, combine evidence from multiple creators to identify:

  • Repeated complaints
  • Common product strengths
  • Competitive advantages
  • Market gaps
  • Business opportunities

Cross-channel intelligence

When enough videos are available across multiple channels, the Actor generates a cross-channel report containing:

  • Watchlist activity
  • Competitor moves
  • Repeated themes
  • Repeated pain points
  • Emerging trends
  • Content gaps
  • Business opportunities
  • Recommended actions

Each important signal can include:

  • Confidence score
  • Priority score
  • Number of supporting videos
  • Number of supporting channels
  • Watchlist matches
  • Source video links
  • Explanation of why the signal matters

Executive reports

Important signals are ranked automatically so you can focus on what matters most.

Example:

94/100 — Competitor Move

Xiaomi is positioning its premium phones against Apple while reducing switching friction through familiar interface design.

Supported by 2 channels and 2 videos.

Intelligence goal

Choose what the analysis should prioritize:

  • Competitor intelligence
  • Product research
  • Trend detection
  • Content strategy
  • Market research
  • General intelligence

Discord delivery

Optionally enter your own Discord webhook.

When new intelligence is generated, the Actor can automatically send a compact report to your Discord channel.

The webhook is stored as an encrypted secret input.

Automated monitoring

This Actor works well with Apify Tasks and Schedules.

For example, run it every 6 hours.

Already processed videos are remembered, so future runs focus on new content instead of repeatedly analyzing the same videos.

If there is nothing new, no additional AI video analysis is performed.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay Per Event pricing.

  • Actor start: $0.003
  • Successful AI video analysis: $0.03 per video
  • Cross-channel intelligence report: $0.12 per report
  • Platform usage: included

A failed or policy-blocked AI analysis is not charged as a successful video analysis.

Output

Video results can include:

  • Video title and URL
  • Channel
  • Transcript availability
  • Watchlist matches
  • AI summary
  • Products and companies mentioned
  • Competitors mentioned
  • Positive and negative signals
  • Pain points
  • Important claims
  • Emerging trends
  • Content opportunities
  • Business opportunities
  • Actionable insights

Cross-channel reports combine information across multiple videos and channels into a single intelligence view.

Built for continuous intelligence

This is not just a transcript scraper.

The goal is to continuously monitor public YouTube content and transform new videos into structured, evidence-backed competitive intelligence that can be used for research, product strategy, content strategy, and market monitoring.
