Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Gene, Head of Growth at Lasso.
VidRunner started with a simple problem.
Every time Brock McGoff published a YouTube video, he had to do the same tedious work over and over again:
• Create affiliate links
• Write timestamps
• Generate tags
• Organize descriptions
• Get everything ready to publish
None of it was difficult. It was just repetitive.
So Brock built a tool to automate it.
When we saw what he had built, we partnered with him to turn it into something every creator could use.
Today, creators can paste a YouTube URL into VidRunner and get affiliate links, timestamps, tags, transcripts, and publishing assets in under a minute.
Since launch, creators have processed more than 225,000 videos through VidRunner, saving an estimated 37,500+ hours of manual work.
We’re still early, and we’d love your feedback.
A few questions:
• What’s the most annoying part of your content publishing workflow?
• If you create YouTube content, what takes longer than it should?
• What’s one thing you’d want VidRunner to automate next?
Thanks for checking us out today. I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day and answering every question.
earning more from existing creations is the part that flips the usual creator workflow on its head. most tools tell you what to make next. this looks at what's already there. curious how Lasso decides which old content has affiliate fit and which doesn't. is it semantic match against the affiliate catalog or are you scoring engagement patterns first?
AI for the boring YouTube ops is the right lane. Let creators keep the taste, let the machine fight the metadata swamp.
It hurts my heart to see ai + youtube...
But I mean... as long as the content itself is good, right? I hope the future isn't flooded with Ballerina Cappucina :)
