YouTubeLiveRead your YouTube channel performance in the same chat you run ads in
Opus Growth connects YouTube to Claude or ChatGPT next to the ad accounts you already manage there.
It reads the channel list with subscribers and total views, the overview for a period with views and watch time, the most-watched videos, and how viewers actually found them: YouTube search, suggested videos, external sites, playlists or subscriptions. Everything here is read-only. Buying YouTube ads is a separate job that runs through Google Ads video campaigns, and those you can create and change from the same conversation.
What you can do
Channel numbers without opening Studio
Subscribers, total views and video count for every channel on the connected account, then views and watch time for whatever period you ask about. It answers the question you actually have rather than making you navigate a dashboard to assemble it.
Which videos earn the watch time
The most-watched videos for a period with views, watch time and averages. Watch time matters more than view count for what YouTube shows next, and it is the number people skip because the view count is easier to find.
How viewers found the video
Traffic sources broken down by type: YouTube search, suggested videos, external sites, playlists, subscriptions. A video carried by suggestions behaves differently from one carried by search, and the two need different follow-ups.
Organic and paid in one conversation
Because YouTube sits next to Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft Advertising, TikTok and LinkedIn in the same chat, you can compare what your channel earns organically against what your video campaigns pay for, without exporting anything.
Read-only, by design
The YouTube connection reads. It does not upload, edit, delete or publish. Nothing about your channel changes because you asked a question about it.
YouTube ads live in Google Ads
Video campaigns that place ads on YouTube are bought through Google Ads, and those are fully manageable here: create the campaign, set budgets and bidding, pause what underperforms, each write previewed before it applies.

Authorize YouTube
Say you want to connect YouTube. A Google sign-in opens and you choose the account. The scope requested is read-only channel and video reporting.
- 3
Ask about the channel
Start broad: subscribers, views and watch time for the last month. The answer arrives as numbers in the conversation, not as a dashboard you then have to read.
- 4
Go down to the videos
Ask which videos earned the most watch time in the period, then ask where those viewers came from. That pair of questions is where the useful decisions usually appear.
- 5
Line it up against the ads
In the same chat, pull your Google Ads video campaign performance and compare. Organic reach and paid reach answer different questions and are worth reading together.
Ask in plain English
›How did my YouTube channel do over the last 30 days?
›Which videos earned the most watch time last month?
›Where are viewers finding my top video?
›Compare my organic YouTube views with my video campaign spend
›Has my subscriber growth changed since the campaign started?
Frequently asked questions
Channel list with subscribers, total views and video count; views and watch time for a period; the most-watched videos with their averages; and traffic sources showing how viewers found each video. That is the full read surface.
No. The YouTube connection is read-only. It does not upload, retitle, delete or publish anything, and it does not touch comments. If you want a change on the channel, you make it in YouTube Studio.
YouTube ads are bought through Google Ads video campaigns, not through the YouTube account itself. Those campaigns are fully manageable here: creation, budgets, bidding and pausing, with a preview before every write.
No. YouTube is part of the same connection as Google Ads, Search Console, Analytics, Tag Manager and Business Profile. One connector, one plan.
Because a view can be three seconds. Watch time reflects whether people stayed, and it is closer to what the recommendation system responds to. A video with fewer views and much higher watch time is usually the better one to make more of.
Not directly from YouTube data, which reports views and watch time rather than conversions. What you can do in the same chat is compare periods against your ad and analytics data to see whether channel activity lines up with the results you care about.
