The Next Big Thing in AI Is Here (YouTubers, Pay Attention) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00So, something pretty big just happened
2. 0:02in the world of AI, and I think it's
3. 0:04going to completely change how people
4. 0:07grow on YouTube forever. Now, we've
5. 0:09quietly entered into a brand new era of
6. 0:12artificial intelligence, and thanks to
7. 0:14things called AI agents, one person can
8. 0:17now accomplish things that previously
9. 0:19would have required an entirely
10. 0:21specialist team to do them. And the
11. 0:23reason this is such a big deal is
12. 0:25because it's going to completely level
13. 0:27the playing field between small
14. 0:29YouTubers and the biggest channels on
15. 0:31the platform. Now, if you've watched any
16. 0:33of my videos before, you'll know that
17. 0:35I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of
18. 0:37AI, especially when it comes to
19. 0:39generating video content, but even I
20. 0:42can't ignore the opportunity here. Like,
21. 0:44this could genuinely become one of the
22. 0:47biggest advantages available to smaller
23. 0:49creators over the next few years, and
24. 0:51most people simply don't even realize
25. 0:54it's here yet. So, in this video, I'm
26. 0:56going to explain what AI agents actually
27. 0:58are, why they're such a big opportunity
28. 1:01for YouTubers, and then I'll show you
29. 1:02how you can start using them to grow
30. 1:04your own channel. Let's get into it. So,
31. 1:06what exactly are AI agents, and how are
32. 1:09they different to something like Chat
33. 1:10GPT or Claude? Well, look, the easiest
34. 1:14way to understand it is that the
35. 1:16traditional AI chatbots like Chat GPT,
36. 1:18for example,
37. 1:20give you answers after you type in a
38. 1:22prompt. Like, you give it the prompt,
39. 1:24and then it gives you an answer in
40. 1:26return. And that's generally like where
41. 1:28the interaction ends. Whereas AI agents,
42. 1:32on the other hand, work totally
43. 1:33differently because they actually do the
44. 1:36work for you without you needing to give
45. 1:39them a prompt. Because instead of giving
46. 1:41the AI agent individual instructions,
47. 1:44you actually give it an overall goal,
48. 1:46and then it figures out the steps it
49. 1:49needs to take to achieve that goal on
50. 1:51its own. And the reason it can do this
51. 1:53is because AI agents combine three
52. 1:56important things. Firstly, they have a
53. 1:59brain, which is usually like a large
54. 2:01language model like the one powering
55. 2:03Chat GPT. And this allows them to make
56. 2:06decisions and plan their next steps. And
57. 2:08secondly, they have access to tools,
58. 2:11which means they can take action,
59. 2:13whether that's searching the internet,
60. 2:15analyzing data, accessing your calendar,
61. 2:19or interacting with other software. And
62. 2:21third, they operate in a continuous
63. 2:23loop, meaning they can take an action,
64. 2:26they can check the result of their own
65. 2:28action, and then work out what needs
66. 2:31doing next, and keep going until they've
67. 2:33actually completed the overall task,
68. 2:36which is pretty mental. So, for example,
69. 2:38instead of like just asking Chat GPT to
70. 2:41give you 10 YouTube video ideas, you
71. 2:44could give an AI agent the goal of
72. 2:46researching your niche, analyzing your
73. 2:48competitors, identifying trending
74. 2:51topics, and then putting together 10
75. 2:53YouTube video ideas based on what's
76. 2:56performing well, and based on all of the
77. 2:58data it's pulled from those tasks. And
78. 3:00then, depending on how well it's been
79. 3:02set up, it could even repeat that
80. 3:04process every Monday morning
81. 3:06automatically without you actually
82. 3:08having to ask to do it. And that's not
83. 3:10even scratching the surface. So, now in
84. 3:13the rest of this video, I'll show you
85. 3:14exactly how to set up your own AI agent,
86. 3:17and then I'll discuss what opportunities
87. 3:19this opens up for every YouTuber, big or
88. 3:21small. Okay, so we are now in my
89. 3:23Hostinger, kind of main dashboard area.
90. 3:26So, when you signed up for an account,
91. 3:28and you've got into Hostinger, this is
92. 3:29kind of what you'll be met with every
93. 3:31single time you log in. Now, of course,
94. 3:33we want this here, the Agent Plus. So,
95. 3:35if I click into my Agent Plus, you'll
96. 3:37see I've got a load of history down
97. 3:39here. And I've currently got five jobs
98. 3:41running. So, I have five different
99. 3:44agents running jobs every single day
100. 3:46gathering information for me to help me
101. 3:49grow my YouTube channel, and to help me
102. 3:51to give me information and trends and
103. 3:53spot news and all that kind of stuff.
104. 3:55It's really interesting. So, I've got
105. 3:57adjacent niche watch, I've got my niche
106. 3:59watch, I've got news on X and trending
107. 4:03opinions watch. I've got daily titles
108. 4:05and thumbnails intelligence and I've got
109. 4:07daily news and trending watch. So, if we
110. 4:09go into these, let's say a gen- adjacent
111. 4:11news watch. And basically, the
112. 4:13instructions here are all of the
113. 4:14instructions I've given to this agent
114. 4:17that it needs to concentrate on and run
115. 4:19every single day. So, as you can see
116. 4:21here, it's really detailed. And I'll
117. 4:23show you how to do this in a minute. So,
118. 4:24I'm basically telling this agent to get
119. 4:26me as much detail as possible about
120. 4:29successful videos in adjacent niches to
121. 4:32mine that I could then look at and
122. 4:34potentially use for either inspiration
123. 4:36or topic ideas, that kind of stuff. So,
124. 4:38if we scroll down, you'll see runs here.
125. 4:41So, we've got two runs, yesterday and
126. 4:42then this morning today. So, if we click
127. 4:44into them, this this is like the prompt
128. 4:47it goes through every time. You don't
129. 4:48have to fill this in, this is just
130. 4:49automatic. And then it's going to give
131. 4:51you the results of that every single
132. 4:54time it runs automatically. So, today's
133. 4:56top opportunity, the strongest verified
134. 4:58discovery is a YouTube creators made on
135. 5:00YouTube 2026 creator roundup. So, it's
136. 5:03given me a potential topic it thinks
137. 5:06would be good for my niche. So,
138. 5:08discovery number one, made on YouTube
139. 5:102026 creator roundup.
140. 5:12Um niche, creator business {slash} AI
141. 5:14{slash} YouTube strategy.
142. 5:16Um and it's going to break down why it
143. 5:18works, like the central topic, the
144. 5:19curiosity, the format, title strength.
145. 5:21And then it's going to tell me how I'd
146. 5:23adapt it to my actual niche. So, this I
147. 5:26could adapt that idea that it's just
148. 5:27given me all this information for and I
149. 5:30could title it something like YouTube
150. 5:31just changed these five things crazy you
151. 5:33guys know. It's actually a really good
152. 5:34title. But, as you can see, it's given
153. 5:36me loads of stuff that I can then
154. 5:39concentrate on that I haven't had to get
155. 5:40myself, this is done automatically, that
156. 5:42I can then take with me. But, if we go
157. 5:44back, you'll see it ran twice. So, that
158. 5:46was the first one and then the second
159. 5:48one it ran again automatically. So, you
160. 5:50get the idea. I've basically got these
161. 5:52five agents running always automatically
162. 5:55every single day for me gathering as
163. 5:57much intel as possible that I can then
164. 5:58use in my own YouTube growth journey.
165. 6:01So, how do you set one up? Well, if you
166. 6:04follow the link in the description, you
167. 6:06will be brought to this screen here. So,
168. 6:09as you'll see it's Hostinger create your
169. 6:10website in minutes, and this is a
170. 6:12website plus hosting AI agent. I'll
171. 6:14touch on the website stuff in a bit, but
172. 6:16all you've got to do is click get the
173. 6:17bundle, and then you'll be brought down
174. 6:18to this thing here. So, you can either
175. 6:21$5.99 a month, or you can pay $6.99 or
176. 6:24$8.99 a month. It's completely up to
177. 6:26you.
178. 6:27Um you can either do 1 3 or 12 months
179. 6:28bundles. Now, I obviously do the 12
180. 6:30months bundle because I just like having
181. 6:32everything running for a year, but if
182. 6:33you just wanted to try it out, just
183. 6:34click on the 1-month bundle, then if you
184. 6:36don't like it, just cancel afterwards.
185. 6:38Click on continue. So, here you can
186. 6:40either add the unlimited plan if you
187. 6:42want to. As long as you've got the agent
188. 6:44plus plan, you can do 1 month, 3 months,
189. 6:46or 12 months. Now, if you do do 12
190. 6:48months, um you actually do get a
191. 6:49discount using my code, so you just
192. 6:51click down the creator, and you'll get a
193. 6:53big discount on this plan. So, once
194. 6:55you're happy with that, just click
195. 6:56continue, fill in your details, and then
196. 6:58once you've joined Hostinger and you've
197. 7:00signed up, you'll be brought to this
198. 7:01home screen here. This is kind of like
199. 7:02your dashboard. Now, when it comes to
200. 7:05actually setting up an AI agent, it can
201. 7:07be daunting to some of you, I do admit.
202. 7:09Uh when I first did it, it was quite
203. 7:10daunting to me. So, your best bet here
204. 7:13is actually just to use ChatGPT to help
205. 7:15you. ChatGPT knows exactly what's going
206. 7:17on, and it will give you the best
207. 7:18prompts and all that kind of stuff. So,
208. 7:20all you've got to do is type in
209. 7:21something like, "I'm in the finance
210. 7:23niche." Obviously, put in whatever niche
211. 7:24you're in. "I want to create a job for
212. 7:26my Hostinger AI agent that runs every
213. 7:28single day at 8:00 a.m. UK time."
214. 7:31Obviously, put wherever you are if
215. 7:32you're eastern, if you're wherever
216. 7:34you're from. Uh I want the agent to be
217. 7:35an expert in scanning my niche and
218. 7:37adjacent niches to find outlier videos,
219. 7:40successful titles, and find out what's
220. 7:42working with thumbnails and overall
221. 7:43packaging. I want the agent to help me
222. 7:45grow my channel and find brand new ideas
223. 7:47on a daily basis. If I now click on
224. 7:50continue, ChatGPT is now going to help
225. 7:52me develop the prompt that we're then
226. 7:54going to go into Hostinger and add in
227. 7:56here. So, here you've got jobs, you've
228. 7:58got chats. With the chat section, all
229. 8:00you've got This is literally just an
230. 8:01area where you can chat to the Hostinger
231. 8:03agent like you do with actually using
232. 8:06ChatGPT. Realistically, you could do all
233. 8:08of this in Hostinger, but I just prefer
234. 8:10to kind of separate the two, have all my
235. 8:12kind of stuff in chat GPT, and then use
236. 8:14a prompt from chat GPT over in the
237. 8:16Hostinger AI agent. So, what your agent
238. 8:19will do is find outlier videos, track
239. 8:21successful topics and trends, reverse
240. 8:23engineer packaging, generate original
241. 8:26video opportunities, and learn from
242. 8:28previous reports. That sounds good. So,
243. 8:30what you've got to do now is just copy
244. 8:32and paste this prompt that chat GPT has
245. 8:34given us into Hostinger. Let's literally
246. 8:36just copy that, go to Hostinger, click
247. 8:39on jobs, click plus, and then paste that
248. 8:43in there, and then I always go run this
249. 8:47job every day at 8:00 a.m. UK time, and
250. 8:51then click send. So, now it's kind of
251. 8:54got going through this prompt that chat
252. 8:57GPT gave us, and it's starting to
253. 8:58understand it,
254. 9:00and it's like validating the brief for
255. 9:02us. So, now it's developed its own brief
256. 9:05for this job that's going to be
257. 9:06scheduled. So, instructions, number one,
258. 9:08number two, number three, number four,
259. 9:09number five, six, seven. All of this
260. 9:11information kind of pertains to what we
261. 9:12just copied in there from chat GPT.
262. 9:15If you want to pause the video and read
263. 9:16it, feel free to, but I'm not going to
264. 9:18cuz there's so much there, and it'll
265. 9:19bore you.
266. 9:20But, once you're happy with this, cuz
267. 9:22this is the prompt of the job, once
268. 9:24you've read through that and you're
269. 9:24happy, click confirm. It's then going to
270. 9:27save that job, and once it's saved, we
271. 9:30can then go in and run it just to make
272. 9:31sure we're happy with it, and then we
273. 9:33can just leave it to automatically run
274. 9:34itself. You don't even have to open your
275. 9:36laptop. You can shut your laptop, put
276. 9:38your feet up, and it's going to run
277. 9:39every single day if you want it to. If
278. 9:41you wanted it to run five times a day,
279. 9:43you can do. If you wanted it to run like
280. 9:44once a week, you can do. It's completely
281. 9:46up to you.
282. 9:47As soon as you've scheduled in that job,
283. 9:49that's it, it's done. So, once you've
284. 9:51confirmed it and it's like scheduled the
285. 9:52job, you'll then get this message, "The
286. 9:54daily finance YouTube intelligence job
287. 9:56is scheduled to run daily at 8:00 a.m.
288. 9:58UK time. A one-time test run will report
289. 10:01now and send you the results." You can
290. 10:04then click confirm to do a one-time test
291. 10:06run now just to make sure it actually
292. 10:08works and gives you the results you
293. 10:09want. Okay, so that job has now
294. 10:11complete. If we click If we click into
295. 10:13it, this is a report we get. So, finance
296. 10:17YouTube intelligence October 24th, 2026.
297. 10:20Five top outlier videos it's found for
298. 10:23us. So, give us 20 minutes, we'll teach
299. 10:25you five AI side hustles for 2026.
300. 10:28Higgsfield AI and Iman Gadzhi,
301. 10:30apparently. Over posted five days ago
302. 10:32and got 261,000 views. So, obviously
303. 10:34quite a cool video.
304. 10:36Blah, blah, blah. Then we've got winning
305. 10:38packaging patterns. So, time box
306. 10:40transformation formula. Give me certain
307. 10:43amount of time, I'll show you the
308. 10:44specific outcome, why it works. Lowest
309. 10:46perceived time cost makes it promise
310. 10:48concrete. Then we got thumbnail lessons.
311. 10:50So, use one dominant visual attention,
312. 10:52like a falling chart house cash AI.
313. 10:55Emerging opportunities. And then it's
314. 10:57going to give us five next video ideas
315. 10:59based on the information it's just given
316. 11:01us. So, So, yeah. This is going to run
317. 11:02every single day and it's going to
318. 11:04gather all of the information from the
319. 11:06finance niche and adjacent niches and
320. 11:09pick together the kind of like trending
321. 11:11stuff and then put it in a report for
322. 11:13you. You can set up as many of these
323. 11:15jobs as you want. They're like these AI
324. 11:17agents, you're not limited to like five
325. 11:19or six. You can set up like 20 covering
326. 11:2120 different topics if you wanted to. It
327. 11:23is that exciting. So, I like I said,
328. 11:25I've got five.
329. 11:26But in like in a month's time, I'm
330. 11:28probably going to have 10. And it
331. 11:29basically just turns me a team from one
332. 11:31person into like six people doing six
333. 11:34different jobs. It's that interesting.
334. 11:36So, look. That is basically the tool and
335. 11:39how you set it up. But why is this such
336. 11:41a big opportunity for small channels?
337. 11:43Well, look. There's a few reasons.
338. 11:44Firstly, AI agents are literally
339. 11:46leveling the playing field between small
340. 11:49and big YouTubers. Just think about it.
341. 11:51Like the bigger channels all have entire
342. 11:54teams behind them. They have
343. 11:55strategists, they've got video editors,
344. 11:57they've got thumbnail designers, and
345. 11:59assistants like all helping them with
346. 12:02every single video they post. Whereas
347. 12:04the smaller creators simply don't have
348. 12:06that. Like most of you guys are working
349. 12:08entirely by yourselves, juggling
350. 12:11everything. But now, these AI agents can
351. 12:14perform many of those jobs for you for a
352. 12:16fraction of the cost. So, for the first
353. 12:18time ever, even a one-person channel can
354. 12:21now have access to the kind of team that
355. 12:23was previously only actually achievable
356. 12:26for the biggest channels that were
357. 12:27earning loads of money. And then
358. 12:29secondly, look, AI agents will save you
359. 12:31hours and hours of work every single
360. 12:33week. So, if you're balancing YouTube
361. 12:36with full-time work or even full-time
362. 12:38studies, this is a game-changer. Because
363. 12:41the agents will help massively with
364. 12:43things like researching video ideas,
365. 12:45analyzing capacitors, tracking trends,
366. 12:48and even like reviewing your analytics
367. 12:49if you want them to. And because they
368. 12:51work automatically through day and
369. 12:53night, all of these tasks will be
370. 12:55completed before you even wake up in the
371. 12:57morning. And also, look, you could start
372. 12:59making much smarter decisions about your
373. 13:01content as well. Because like imagine
374. 13:03having an AI agent constantly
375. 13:05researching your niche and spotting the
376. 13:08next big video opportunities that your
377. 13:10competitors either A have missed or B
378. 13:13just haven't seen yet. So, instead of
379. 13:15just guessing what you need to upload
380. 13:16next, you're actually making decisions
381. 13:18backed by actual data, and you're
382. 13:20finding these ideas before your
383. 13:21competitors even stand a chance. So,
384. 13:24yeah, this all means that you basically
385. 13:25no longer need a massive team or a huge
386. 13:28budget to operate like the biggest
387. 13:30YouTubers have done. Because creating
388. 13:32your own AI agent will give any size
389. 13:35creator a genuine opportunity to compete
390. 13:37with the bigger channels that have far
391. 13:39more resources than you do. Anyway, as
392. 13:41your channel starts to grow and you
393. 13:43begin to take YouTube more seriously,
394. 13:45this is probably the time to start
395. 13:47thinking about your online presence
396. 13:49outside of just YouTube. Because the
397. 13:51truth is, no matter how big or small
398. 13:54your channel is, you don't actually own
399. 13:56your own audience. YouTube does. So, if
400. 13:59anything ever changes, like if there was
401. 14:01a really big algorithm update, or if
402. 14:03your channel gets hacked, or if your
403. 14:05views just suddenly drop, then you
404. 14:07basically risk losing everything, and
405. 14:09you've probably have absolutely no way
406. 14:11of being able to access any of your
407. 14:13subscribers. But that's where building
408. 14:15your own website can be a real benefit
409. 14:17here. And Hostinger's new AI website
410. 14:20builder makes it ridiculously easy to
411. 14:22create your own website and actually
412. 14:24start building a real brand outside of
413. 14:27just YouTube, even if you have like zero
414. 14:29technical skills. Now, their AI builder
415. 14:31can create a fully customizable and
416. 14:33professional website for you in
417. 14:35literally under a minute. You could
418. 14:37build your own website to collect emails
419. 14:39from your viewers or showcase your
420. 14:41content or even like sell digital
421. 14:44products or courses or even just create
422. 14:46a work with me page for brand deals so
423. 14:48companies can reach out to you and your
424. 14:49channel and request to do collaborations
425. 14:51with you. And they have a drag-and-drop
426. 14:53editor as part of the AI website builder
427. 14:55which allows you to fully customize
428. 14:57every single thing on your site.
429. 14:59Honestly, having your own website gives
430. 15:00you total control over your audience and
431. 15:03your content, something that YouTube
432. 15:04will never give you. Now, as I said, I
433. 15:06have my own website for my online
434. 15:08courses, I collect people's emails, and
435. 15:10I give my audience free downloads. So, I
436. 15:13know that if anything ever happens to my
437. 15:14channel, at least I have that to fall
438. 15:16back on. So, maybe consider that as well
439. 15:18when you look into creating your own AI
440. 15:20agent. So, if you do want to set up your
441. 15:22own AI agent and your own website, click
