Automatic YouTube source detection
Paste a YouTube link and the app detects the source type automatically, so you can work from videos, Shorts, live videos, channels, playlists, or custom URL lists without a source dropdown.
AudienceCue
AudienceCue downloads public YouTube comments from videos, channels, playlists, Shorts, and live streams, then turns them into cited AI reports. It is built for creators, researchers, and teams who want comment analysis that stays linked to source evidence.
What AudienceCue does
AudienceCue is a YouTube comment downloader and AI analysis tool that turns public comment data into cited reports. It is designed for people who want to inspect what viewers are saying across videos, Shorts, live videos, channels, playlists, or mixed URL lists, then keep the output tied to the source comments.
The workflow starts with a YouTube link or list of links, downloads the comments, and can generate an evidence report from those saved rows. The product emphasizes traceability: report claims stay linked to real public comments, and the download files can be kept, reviewed, and reused later.
AudienceCue supports both one-off research and repeat workflows. The pricing page describes free preview use, paid plans for larger comment files, full thread depth, monitoring, and API workflows, while the samples page shows downloadable comment files and public report examples before checkout.
Core features
Flexible comment capture
Download comment text with options for comments only, comments with currently available replies, or a fuller thread view that opens more reply pages when context matters.
Cited AI reports
Create evidence-backed AI reports from downloaded comments, with each insight tied to real public comments rather than a generic summary.
Multiple export formats
Export saved comment data in CSV, JSON, TXT, or XLSX, and export reports in HTML, Markdown, or JSON for sharing, handoff, or automation.
Controlled report sharing
Share read-only report links or download HTML for clients, teammates, or archival use, with links that can expire or be revoked.
API access and automation
Use the Public API on higher plans to create jobs, check usage, start downloads, and fetch comment or report exports from your own tools.
Practical use cases
Single-video audience review
Use a single video, Short, or live stream when you want to see how viewers reacted to a launch, tutorial, event, or announcement and keep the analysis grounded in comments.
Bulk source analysis
Run a channel, playlist, or multi-link job when you want to compare recurring themes across a content library, competitor set, or campaign series.
Evidence-backed reporting
Generate a cited report for internal review, client handoff, or stakeholder discussion when you need conclusions that can be checked against the original comments.
Comment export and reuse
Export CSV, JSON, TXT, or XLSX comment files when you need spreadsheet review, downstream automation, or a handoff to another tool.
Repeatable research workflows
Use monitoring and API workflows on higher plans when you need repeated checks or want to trigger downloads and fetch exports from your own systems.
