Four-layer understanding

It doesn't just transcribe. It watches.

01

Audio

Transcription and speaker diarization with word-level timing.

02

Visual

Scene cuts, frame descriptions, and on-screen text (OCR).

03

Fusion

Audio and visual aligned into one timestamped scene log.

04

Intelligence

Topics, hooks, retention: the brief every asset is drafted from.

How it works

From drop to dispatch in four moves.

The ChannelHelm Produce screen with the video drop zone, processing profiles and recent packages
1

Ingest

Drop a file or paste a link. For a YouTube URL, the brand is auto-detected from the channel — no manual picking. A package is created and the pipeline queues.

2

Understand

Background workers transcribe the audio, analyze the visuals, fuse them into a scene log, and extract the intelligence layer: topics, hooks, and retention windows.

Review in the Studio

Every asset is drafted and waiting. Read scored options, edit inline, regenerate a section, or generate one on demand — and watch the rest fill in as the pipeline completes.

Approve and ship

Approve what's ready and dispatch: YouTube and social through your connected accounts, editorial to your publishing destination. Track each asset through to published.

The Studio

Review the way you think.

The per-package review is where you live. Three layouts, one keystroke apart — pick the one that fits the job.

The Console layout of the Studio

Console

Two-pane daily review: platform rail, video plus live pipeline plus stacked assets, and a confident approval panel.

The Editor layout of the Studio with the asset tree, scored title options and the inspector

Editor

A file tree of every asset, a focused single-asset editor with side-by-side comparison, and a provenance inspector.

The Atlas layout of the Studio with every platform and its completion

Atlas

An overview canvas of every platform with completion percentage. Triage what's ready; click in to focus.

Clips and Shorts

Shorts, cut where attention peaks

  • word-snap trim never cuts mid-word
  • 6 animated subtitle styles with live preview
  • per-language dubs and captions per network

Your machine, your models

Nothing leaves the deck.

Media stays local

Bring your own model (cloud or on-device, per task)

Provenance on every asset (model, prompt version, inputs)

Why it's different

Built like a studio, not an admin panel.

Scored, legible options

Titles and tags carry 0–100 scores against character budgets, so the best pick is obvious at a glance — then editable inline.

Regenerate anything

Don't like a section? Regenerate just that one. Empty section? Generate it on demand straight from the transcript.

Multi-brand, auto-detected

Run many channels. Paste a link and ChannelHelm matches the right brand from the channel, falling back to the website domain.

Bring your own model

Choose the AI you trust for each kind of work — cloud or fully on-device — set per task or as a default, with your own image provider for AI thumbnails too.

Pipeline you can see

A four-layer progress indicator shows exactly what's done and what's still generating. Partially-ready is a first-class state.

Provenance on everything

Every generated asset records the model, provider, prompt version, and inputs that produced it. Nothing is a black box.

Backlog Revival

Re-mine an old video through the pipeline with your current prompts — defaults to the cheap transcription-only profile, so back catalogues yield fresh kits without re-recording.

For creators
