This template watches a YouTube channel for new videos, reads title and captions, and asks ChatGPT for a stronger title, description, timestamps, and tags. JavaScript shapes that text, then YouTube updates the video details. Connect YouTube and pick the channel. ChatGPT is a Latenode AI step.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
