How it works

Six steps from a Discord question to a video plan.

Cordlytics does the digging. You make every call that matters. Here’s the whole thing, start to finish, for a home-espresso channel with a busy Discord.

Act 1 · Set up

Tell Cordlytics where to listen.

You do it

Step 1: Sign in, then add your server.

Signing in with Discord just identifies you. Adding the Cordlytics bot is a separate step, and you tick the public channels it may read. Nothing else gets touched.

Step 2: Connect your YouTube channel.

Cordlytics watches a sample of your uploads to learn what you cover, how you make videos, and who they’re for. If you want to steer somewhere new, add one line. That’s optional.

Act 2 · Find the question

Spot what they keep asking. Pick one.

Cordlytics does it

Step 3: Cordlytics finds the questions worth a video.

Conversations in your channels become dated, paraphrased evidence, grouped into concrete video opportunities. Support requests and small talk are kept out of the pile.

Step 4: Check the brief, then approve it.

Cordlytics prepares the research brief for you: topic, audience need, evidence and the exact YouTube searches. Fix whatever is wrong, then approve. The brief is locked from that point, so the research matches what you signed off on.

Act 3 · Research and decide

See what’s out there. Make it yours.

Step 5: Cordlytics watches what YouTube already covers.

It runs your approved searches, shortlists the relevant videos and watches them. You see what each one covers and skips, which patterns repeat, and what the research couldn’t pin down.

Step 6: Pick a direction. Edit it into your plan.

Compare suggested hooks and outlines, each showing the messages and videos it was built from. Promote one to a Content Plan and rewrite it however you like. The research underneath stays as it was.

Sour light roasts: it’s not your grinder
