How this helps you
You plan your next piece from what people asked for, with the evidence on screen.
Read the comments on my YouTube videos from the last [days] days. Group them into requested topics. Rank the topics by how many comments ask for them, then by likes. For each, give 2 real quotes with their like counts and the video they came from. Put it in a page I can scan. Don't reply to or like anything.
Fill in: [days] is the window, such as 28 for a first look or 7 for a weekly routine.
What they did
corbin connects Zapier's MCP server to Grok Bot to reach his YouTube data. In Zapier he creates an MCP server, adds a YouTube connection and selects the tools to allow. When the first connection check fails, he follows the link the Bot gives him and selects the tools; if that still fails, rotating the token in Zapier and pasting the new details into chat fixes it. He asks for his top videos from the last 28 days, then for the topics viewers requested in that period. The Bot read 282 comments and made a canvas of ranked requests with dates, real quotes and like counts. He suggests the same thing as a weekly Monday routine.
Who it's for: YouTubers, course creators and anyone with comments on posts or videos.
Before you start
- A Zapier account with an MCP server set up and connected to Grok Bot.
- Your YouTube channel added as a connection in Zapier, with the tools you need selected.
- A channel with enough comments to rank (a few dozen at least).
How to try it
- In Zapier, create an MCP server for Grok Bot and add a YouTube connection. Select only the tools you need.
- Ask the Bot to confirm it can see your channel by name.
- If it can't, open the link it gives you and select the tools; if it still fails, rotate the token and paste the new details into chat.
- Run the prompt below and read the ranked list.
- If it's useful, ask for the same report every Monday covering the last 7 days.
What to expect
A ranked list with the number of comments behind each topic, two quotes each with likes and links to the videos they came from, all on one page.
Common mistakes
- Selecting every Zapier tool. Give the Bot read access for this job, not upload or delete.
- Asking for a summary instead of a ranking with quotes. Quotes let you check it isn't inventing demand.
- Letting it reply. Keep this job read only; replies are a separate decision.
Related tips
- Get links to every comment you haven't answered: Kris wakes up to hundreds of comments. The Bot sends links to each unanswered one and Kris replies personally.
- A content scout routine that files X news onto your idea board: Twice a day, a Bot reads public posts on X, picks three topics worth covering, and adds the useful links to matching cards on your Notion idea board.
- Turn a messy CSV into a report that says what to fix first: Hand your Bot a messy export and ask for a cleaned, scored report with a do now / do later list.
