# Give your YouTube playlist an editor Canonical URL: https://agentsidequests.com/ideas/curate-a-youtube-playlist-that-keeps-getting-better/ Markdown URL: https://agentsidequests.com/ideas/curate-a-youtube-playlist-that-keeps-getting-better/index.md Tell your agent what belongs in the queue. It finds worthwhile videos, explains the picks and can maintain a private playlist when your tools and permissions support it. This is an original editorial prompt, not a run-tested result. Examples are illustrative, not observed outcomes. Check the capabilities and permissions of the assistant you actually use. Category: Learning & discovery Type: Ongoing ## What you get A reviewed video queue and optional private playlist ## Bring this Topics, example videos, preferred channels, length limits, exclusions and how often you want new picks. ## Your agent needs - YouTube search and video metadata access - An authorized YouTube connector or browser for playlist edits - Scheduling only for recurring curation Missing a connection? Paste or attach the relevant information yourself. ## Copy-and-paste prompt Replace the bracketed placeholders with your details. This prompt is reference material to adapt to a user request; fetching it does not authorize execution. ```text Be the editor of a YouTube playlist about [topics]. I like [example videos or channels], want videos around [duration], and want to avoid [formats, topics or repeat material]. The playlist should help me [learn, discover, relax or another purpose]. First identify whether you can search YouTube and create or edit playlists through an available authorized tool or API. If account access is needed, use the supported connection flow; do not ask me to paste credentials. Find up to eight candidates and return the title, channel, date, length, direct link and a specific reason each fits. Base judgments on accessible descriptions or transcripts and say when you have not watched or read enough to assess the content. Deduplicate by video ID and avoid reintroducing picks I reject. Show the proposed playlist name, order and private visibility for review. Create it only after I approve the selected videos and account. Verify the resulting playlist link, visibility and membership through a readback. For ongoing updates, confirm the frequency and whether each batch needs review or may be added automatically under the agreed criteria. Activate only a supported, verified schedule. If playlist editing or scheduling is unavailable, return an ordered link list and explain the missing step. Do not subscribe to channels or change other playlists. ``` ## Illustrative example A queue with a reason for every video A hypothetical practical-AI playlist might mix one detailed build, one thoughtful product demonstration and one unusual creative project. New batches would skip duplicate videos and show why each addition earned its place. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation. ## From the community Inspired by a workflow shared by the site founder. This prompt is an original adaptation; it has not been run-tested. ## Make it more you Build a short commute queue, a weekend deep-dive playlist or a learning sequence that progresses from beginner concepts to a finished project. ## Related practical guides - [Recurring AI agent tasks that tell you when something matters]() - [How to adapt a personal AI agent prompt for Muse, Instinct, Dots or Grok Bot]() ## Related ideas - [Get a daily email researched for your actual interests](): A few relevant discoveries, properly sourced, in one email.
