VidiScoop
What it is
VidiScoop finds recent news stories for YouTube channels and helps turn selected stories into video packages and scripts. It scans Google News, curated outlet feeds, regional Google Trends, and user-added RSS feeds for stories from the last 24 hours. Stories receive rankings based on relevance, coverage, freshness, trend, and source authority, with signal values shown to users. Packages can include titles, descriptions, tags, and thumbnail briefs; the product also checks script claims against the reporting used to create them. Its built-in engine works without an AI key, while users can add keys for Google Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, or OpenRouter. Users can link a published video or connect YouTube in read-only mode to retrieve performance analytics; VidiScoop does not upload videos. It is available on the web and as a self-hosted deployment. Free includes one channel workspace, one scan per day, and 10 saved packages per month. Creator costs $19 a month, and Studio costs $49 a month. The product is designed for news, entertainment, technology, sports, business and finance, gaming, or politics channels.
