For creators · v1.5 release
ChannelHelm turns a single video into everything you need to publish it everywhere — and with the v1.5 release, it now learns from what actually performs and gets better with every upload.
A plain-English guide · no technical background needed
The problem every creator knows
You finish one video. Now the real work starts. YouTube needs a title, a description with chapters, tags, and a thumbnail. You want three or four short clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — each trimmed, captioned, and sized vertically. There’s a blog post or newsletter in there somewhere. And a different post for X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Threads… each one supposed to sound like you, each one different.
That’s hours of repetitive packaging for every single upload. Most creators either burn the time, hire it out, or simply skip platforms — and leave reach on the table.
ChannelHelm does the first draft of all of it, from one video, in a single pass — on your own computer.

What ChannelHelm actually does
Drop in a video — an uploaded file, a YouTube link, a podcast, a webinar. ChannelHelm watches and listens to it: what’s said, what’s on screen, and what actually matters. Then it drafts your whole publishing kit:
- YouTube package — scored title options, a full description with chapters and hashtags, tags, and AI-generated thumbnails (with the headline already on them).
- Short clips — your highest-energy moments cut into ready-to-post vertical videos, with animated captions burned in. Trim them on whole words; preview instantly.
- Written pieces — article and blog drafts, newsletter summaries.
- Social posts — tailored for each network, written in your brand’s voice.
You stay in control: everything is a draft you review, tweak, approve, and publish. Don’t like a title? Regenerate just that one. Nothing goes out without you.
And it runs on your machine
There’s no monthly per-seat SaaS bill and no uploading your raw footage to someone else’s cloud. Your videos, transcripts, and drafts stay on your own computer. The only thing that leaves is the finished post you choose to publish. Your content — and your data — stay yours.

What’s new: v1.5 — your content learns from itself
Until now, ChannelHelm was a brilliant drafting assistant. With v1.5, it becomes a learning one. Instead of generating content and forgetting about it, it watches how your posts perform and feeds that back into the next batch. Five upgrades, all shipped:
✓ Shipped
It A/B-tests your titles and thumbnails — automatically
Packaging decides whether anyone clicks. ChannelHelm now quietly rotates different title and thumbnail options on your live video, watches which one earns more views and watch-time, and keeps the winner — no spreadsheets, no manual tests.
✓ Shipped
Winning thumbnails make the next ones better
When a thumbnail wins, ChannelHelm remembers what made it work and leans future thumbnails toward that style. Your packaging compounds instead of starting from scratch each time.
✓ Shipped
It finds your most exciting moments for Shorts
ChannelHelm now maps the emotional energy across your video and favours the peaks when picking clips — so your Shorts lead with the moments most likely to travel, not a random 60 seconds.
✓ Shipped
Retention predictions grounded in your real numbers
Instead of guessing how well a moment will hold attention, ChannelHelm checks its predictions against your channel’s actual audience-retention data and corrects itself — getting sharper the more you publish.
✓ Shipped
Faster, steadier generation at scale
Behind the scenes, ChannelHelm now paces its AI requests so it can run more work in parallel without hitting provider limits — meaning more videos turned around, more reliably.
Every post that gets measured makes the next one better. That’s the whole idea behind v1.5.
