Hub Upload

Upload once. AI writes everything.

Drop your episode file. We transcribe it with Whisper, generate a title, description, chapters, and first comment with Gemini — then publish it to YouTube in a single upload. No re-editing in YouTube Studio.

What you get

Everything written before it goes live

Whisper AI transcription

Your episode is transcribed with OpenAI Whisper before anything goes to YouTube. The transcript powers the title, description, chapters, and show notes — one transcription, used everywhere.

AI title & description

Gemini reads your full transcript and writes a YouTube-optimised title and description. No generic summaries — the AI understands the actual content of your episode.

Timestamp chapters

Gemini generates YouTube chapter markers with timestamps from the transcript. Your viewers can jump to the exact moment they want — YouTube rewards this with better discoverability.

Pinned first comment

A suggested first comment is auto-posted and pinned after upload — typically a question or CTA that drives early engagement on the video.

Premiere scheduling

Schedule your episode as a YouTube Premiere with a timezone-aware slot picker. Suggests slots based on your existing prime times, up to 6 months out.

Show notes re-use

The Whisper transcript is stored and reused — generate a newsletter-ready show notes write-up from the dashboard without transcribing again.

How it works

What happens between upload and YouTube

01

File upload to secure cloud storage

Your file uploads directly from your browser to R2 cloud storage — our server is never in the data path. Files up to 2GB supported. The upload is tracked so you can close the browser and come back.

episode.mp4 → R2 upload complete
02

Transcription + AI content generation

The worker downloads your file, runs Whisper for a full transcript, then sends it to Gemini 2.5 Flash. Gemini returns a title, description, chapter timestamps, show notes, and a suggested first comment — all in one call.

Whisper → Gemini → content ready
03

Single YouTube upload with all metadata

One videos.insert call with the AI-written title and description already set. No editing after the fact. Optionally adds the video to your selected playlist, sets a custom thumbnail, and posts the first comment.
