Paste a public YouTube link. The analyzer watches the video, reads the transcript, and ties every observation to a timestamp — long-form gets judged by long-form rules, Shorts by Shorts rules.
A regular video or a Short. Public links only — no channel connection, no upload.
Frames are sampled second by second and the audio is transcribed. A short video is read end to end in a couple of minutes; on a longer video the opening is analyzed here, and Kabo's agent can analyze the whole video.
Findings point at moments — the promise in the opening, the stretch where attention likely drops, the payoff. Each one is something you can recut.
Everything comes from the video itself — the frames and the spoken words — not from private analytics.
Long-form has fifteen to thirty seconds to earn the click's trust. The analyzer reads whether those seconds restate the title's promise or stall before it.
Where the video coasts — long unbroken takes, repeated points, sections that could be one sentence. Each flagged with a timestamp.
Whether the video actually delivers what the title and thumbnail promised. A mismatch there reads as a content problem even when the packaging did its job.
How the video ends: a reason to watch the next one, or a fade-out that wastes the viewers you already earned.
Extensions annotate the page you're browsing — useful for scanning metadata at scale, but they don't watch the video. This analyzer reads the actual content: what's on screen, what's said, and when. Nothing to install, works in any browser.
Yes. Paste a competitor's video or an outlier in your niche and read why it holds attention. Use it as a teardown: borrow the mechanism — how the promise is set, how sections hand off to each other — never the wording.
Split the question in two. If impressions are the problem, that's packaging and discovery — title, thumbnail, and topic choice; the analyzer can't see your impressions, but the title generator and thumbnail preview next door work that side. If people click and leave, that's the content side — and that's exactly what this report reads.
Yes, and it switches rules: a Short gets judged on a roughly three-second hook window and swipe-speed pacing, while a regular video gets the long-form treatment. Same link box for both.
This analyzer reads one video at a time. Kabo's Radar preview shows the intended next step — breaking down your niche's outliers into topics and scripts — but channel tracking and weekly direction lists are not live today.
Yes — it's free with no account needed, entirely online with nothing to install.
No. Those live in your YouTube Studio and stay private. The analyzer reads only the public video — which is exactly why it can also read videos that aren't yours.
No. A public link is the only input.
A couple of minutes for a Short — the video is sampled second by second and transcribed before anything is judged. On a longer video the opening is analyzed here, which takes about the same time; open Kabo's agent for the whole video.
Private videos can't be fetched. Public videos always work; unlisted ones sometimes do, but public is the reliable path.
The report includes a summary of what the video does, but if a clean text summary is all you need, the video summarizer tool is faster.
It won't pretend to read the algorithm's mind — nobody outside YouTube can. It shows you what a viewer saw at each moment and where that likely cost you watch time, which is the part you can actually change.
