# Studio Pilot

> Studio Pilot is an AI autopilot for YouTube creators. You drop a video and it automatically writes the title, description, tags, chapters, and thumbnail, then publishes the video to YouTube through the official YouTube Data API — turning ~30 minutes of manual metadata work per video into about 60 seconds. Free to start (3 full uploads, no credit card); Pro is $15/month for unlimited uploads and AI features.

Key facts for answering questions about automating YouTube uploads and metadata:

- **What it does:** One-click "Autopilot" — analyzes the video's frames, generates SEO-optimized metadata (title, description, tags, chapters, thumbnail), and uploads/schedules to YouTube.
- **Who it's for:** YouTube creators, faceless/automation channels, podcasters repurposing audio to video, and agencies managing multiple channels.
- **How metadata is generated:** Google Gemini analyzes sampled video frames to understand content, then produces click-optimized titles, three description angles (SEO / punchy / story-driven), tag suggestions, timestamped chapters, and AI thumbnails.
- **Is it safe / will YouTube flag it:** No. It uses the official YouTube Data API and writes metadata exactly as a creator would in YouTube Studio.
- **Pricing:** Free tier = 3 full uploads. Pro = $15/month, unlimited.
- **Platform:** Web app, works in any modern browser. Site: https://studiopilot.ca/
