What does it do?
Connect EmbedSocial with Claude or ChatGPT and Google Drive to create an agent that searches YouTube media collected through a #Hashtag source and extracts the creators behind it. The agent pulls each creator's channel name, video title, video URL, and view count, then writes the results as rows in a new spreadsheet tab, ready for review or outreach.
Useful for
- Building creator lists: turn YouTube posts from a #Hashtag source into a structured outreach shortlist;
- Scouting influencer partners: find who's already talking about your space before you reach out;
- Prioritizing by performance: sort creators by view count to focus on the ones with the most reach.

Imagine you're scouting creators for an upcoming campaign and want a working list to start from. Instead of searching YouTube manually, you ask Claude or ChatGPT:
Using the EmbedSocial MCP, pull YouTube media from my #Hashtag source for [#hashtag]. Extract each creator's channel name, video title, URL, and view count, then write them as rows to a new tab called "YouTube creators" in my Google Sheet.
Your AI tool pulls the tracked YouTube content, extracts the creator details, and builds a spreadsheet your team can use to shortlist and reach out.
