How do you interact with the AI Coach?

The AI Coach is a helpful tool designed to assist you with YouTube and content creation-related questions. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate and find the answers you need.

Once you are on the AI Coach page, you will see a chat-like interface where you can type in your questions or concerns.

For example, let's say you are struggling to come up with ideas for your next YouTube video. Simply type in your question, such as "What are some suggestions for video content and script ideas on building your first camera setup ?" and the AI Coach will provide you with a variety of suggestions and tips to help you brainstorm and plan your next video.



The AI Coach operates in two modes: Basic and Advanced.

Advanced Mode: The Advanced Mode utilizes your channel data to provide personalized advice, including channel audits and growth strategies. The Advanced Mode comes with 3 monthly credits on the free plan. However, you can enjoy unlimited access by upgrading to the Boost plan or higher.

FAQ of the AI Coach tool

  1. Message Limit: You may have reached the 30 messages per-hour limit. Please wait a while before trying again.

    If you encounter a message limit warning, it means you have reached the maximum of 30 messages per hour allowed by the AI Coach. This limit is in place to ensure fair usage and availability of the service for all users.

  2. Why is the AI Coach not working properly on my device?

    AI Coach may be affected by active parental controls, VPNs, adblockers, or third-party browser extensions. These can interfere with the functionality of the AI Coach by restricting access or altering how the service interacts with your browser.

  3. Unsupported Questions: AI Coach may not be able to support the query you've asked.

    The AI Coach is designed to handle specific kinds of questions related to YouTube, channel optimization, video performance, and content strategy. Queries outside of these topics may not be processed.

    Example:

    If you ask AI Coach something unrelated to its intended function, such as “What’s the weather like today?” or “Can you help me with my math homework?”, the AI may not respond because these questions are not within its supported topics.
