YouTube Comments Agent with Codex

Cost here follows how many comments have to be read, not how many subscribers you have, so a channel taking two thousand comments a night is a real and predictable expense. Codex is quick through the reading and the grouping, which is most of the run. The lever that actually moves the bill is scoping the channel rules to recent uploads rather than the whole back catalogue.

Live demo

Watch it work before it's live

Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.

Comments digest, Tuesday 14 April

Taller de Marta@tallerdemarta

312,000 subscribers. Overnight there are 214 new comments across six videos, 90 of them on Sunday's dovetail jig tutorial, which has passed 180,000 views. Eleven people ask which router bit was used and the video never says, four ask whether the jig fits an imperial base, and one account named for a Spanish tool brand asks who handles paid collaborations.

What you'll need

Set up in minutes

Using this template drops you into a guided setup. It asks exactly this, nothing else:

  1. Connect YouTube

    One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.

  2. Connect Slack

    One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.

  3. Channel rules

    What your channel wants surfaced and how you sound when you answer: which questions deserve a reply, who handles sponsorship and press, what you treat as spam, and any subject you never discuss in the comments. Draft replies copy the tone you describe here.

  4. Runs on Codex

    Preselected for this page — connect your Codex account during setup, or switch to NoClick's built-in models with one click.

  5. Watch it handle a test run

    A staged conversation against a simulated world — then it’s live.

A considered pairing

Why Codex for this agent

One morning pass, sized by volume

A single run reads what arrived overnight. The comment count is the variable, and it is one you can see coming from the channel's own numbers.

Split the pass on busy channels

Heavy channels often run it twice a day so neither pass has to swallow everything. Two smaller reads land better and cost roughly the same.

Good to know

Before you fork

Does an old upload waking up change what we pay?

It can, and that is usually the surprise: a two year old tutorial being recommended again brings a wave of comments about advice that has since moved on. The agent notices the shift and names the video, which is the useful part. Expect spend to track your recommendation traffic rather than your upload schedule.
