AI Agent Script: Automating YouTube Content Research

May 25, 2026 video-scripts

Content Research at Scale

If you create YouTube content, you know research takes as long as recording. An AI agent can automate the prep work: find trending topics, analyze competitor videos, outline episodes, and draft scripts.

Agent Workflow

Prompt your Hermes Agent with: "Research the topic [X]. Find 3 popular videos on YouTube about this topic, summarize their angle, identify what's missing, and outline a 10-minute video that fills the gap."

Adding YouTube Transcripts

Hermes Agent can pull YouTube transcripts via its tools. Have it analyze the top-performing videos' transcripts, extract the hooks, pacing, and key points. Use that analysis to structure your own script.

From Outline to Draft

Once the outline is ready, tell the agent to write the full script in your voice. Include style notes in the prompt: "Write in a conversational tone, use short sentences, include 3 callbacks to earlier points, and end with a CTA."

Results

What used to take 2 hours of research + 1 hour of writing takes 20 minutes of prompting + editing. The agent handles the first pass; you handle the polish. Repeatable for every episode.
