Give your AI agent a YouTube channel's soul
A soul pack is a soul.json + soul.mdknowledge file built from a channel's own transcripts and classified comments. Drop it into a Claude Project, a custom GPT, a RAG index or an MCP server and your agent knows the channel: how it talks and what its audience keeps asking for.
What's in the pack
- Identity. Who the channel is, what it covers, how big it is.
- Voice corpus.Real transcript excerpts, titles and descriptions, so the agent writes in the channel's register instead of a generic one.
- Audience demand. Every comment sorted into content requests, pain points, questions, feedback and experiences, with the counts and sentiment behind them.
- Performance signals. Which videos overperform their channel baseline, and by how much.
- Superfans. The handful of people who comment the most.

}Abridged. The real export carries the full corpus and every classified comment, plus a soul.md version of the same thing for tools that want one readable document.
Where it comes from
Nothing new is scraped for it. A Channel X-Ray report already reads every video in scope, pulls every transcript and classifies every comment. The soul pack is that same data, arranged for a machine instead of a human. Want to see the raw material first? The transcript and comment tools are free for a single video.
FAQ
What is a channel soul pack?
Two files — soul.json and soul.md — built from a YouTube channel's own transcripts and comments. The JSON is structured for machines (RAG, tools, MCP); the Markdown is one document you can paste into a Claude Project or custom GPT so the agent knows how that channel talks and what its audience keeps asking for.
How is that different from just feeding it transcripts?
Raw transcripts give an agent words. A soul pack adds the demand side: every comment classified into content requests, pain points, questions, feedback and experiences, plus which videos overperform and who the channel's superfans are. The agent gets the voice and the audience, not just the script.
Do I need to own the channel?
No. Channel X-Ray works on any public channel with no OAuth and no login — that's the whole point. Nothing private is ever accessed.
When does it ship?
The v1 export is being built now on top of data the report already collects. Leave your email and you'll get one message when it's live.
