Turn every YouTube upload into a newsletter — automatically
Publishing a video and writing the email about it are two different jobs. Here's how we collapse them into one, so the email ships itself the moment you hit publish.
Most creators already have a newsletter. The problem is never the idea — it's that writing the email is one more task after a long edit, and it's the first thing to get skipped. So the list goes quiet, and the most direct channel you own slowly stops working.
The fix isn't discipline. It's a workflow that treats "a new video exists" as the trigger, and "a summary email is in your subscribers' inboxes" as the finished result — with no manual step in between. This is exactly the kind of AI automation we build for content creators.
What the workflow actually does
When a video goes public, Oryro is notified through the YouTube API. From there, four steps run in order, each handing its output to the next:
- Detect the upload. We watch your channel and fire the second a video is public — no polling, no manual kickoff.
- Pull and clean the transcript. The caption track is downloaded and stripped down to plain, readable text.
- Write the email in your voice. A language model summarises the video into a few clear takeaways, using a saved sample of your past newsletters as the voice reference.
- Send it. The draft is pushed to your email tool and scheduled — or held for your approval if you'd rather keep a human on the loop.
Why "in your voice" matters
A generic AI summary reads like a generic AI summary, and your audience can tell. The difference here is the voice reference: we feed the model a handful of emails you've already sent, so the output keeps your rhythm, your phrasing and your level of formality. You're not approving a robot's draft — you're approving something that already sounds like you.
Where we recommend keeping a human
For most creators we leave one approval step in place at the start. You get the drafted email as a notification, glance at it, and tap send. After a few weeks, once you trust the output, many creators switch it to fully automatic. Either way, the writing work is gone. (For a framework on where approval steps belong, read our human-on-the-loop playbook.)
What it's worth
The math is simple: if writing a newsletter takes you 45 minutes and you post twice a week, that's an hour and a half a week back — and, more importantly, an email that actually goes out every single time instead of whenever you get around to it.
