  • Speed up research sorting
  • Create a clearer viewing queue

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 2Create an automation for thumbnail based playlist classification.
  • 3Tell Notis to OCR each new item thumbnail with Astica ai and group the extracted phrases by topic.
  • 4Pick New Item in YouTube Playlist as the trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one playlist addition that has a thumbnail.

Questions about this workflow

Are groups based on hidden metadata?

No. Grouping uses text extracted from the supplied thumbnail and the event context.

Can I define the topic labels?

Yes. Include preferred labels in the plain language instruction.
