Track Competitor YouTube Channels Without Checking Them

Short answer: create an AyeWatch YouTube Channel videos monitor for each competitor channel, with the filter "product tutorials or feature launches". You get their launch videos the day they post, without their webinars and event clips.

Set it up

Open Create a monitor → YouTube. Keep Channel videos.
Paste the competitor's channel link, like https://www.youtube.com/@HubSpot.
In Only alert me about, write "product tutorials or feature launches".
Pick Daily and click Create monitor. One monitor per competitor.

AyeWatch YouTube Channel videos monitor for a competitor channel with an AI filter for product tutorials or feature launches — A competitor's channel, filtered to launches.

What you get

The first check saves the current posts as a starting point, so you are not flooded with old ones. After that, every check that finds something new sends one alert. The headline is the post itself, or "3 new from …" when several land at once, with a link to each post and its text.

Example AyeWatch alert in the web feed: a made-up competitor's feature launch video — Example alert in the web feed. The account and posts are made up.

Example AyeWatch push notification and alert screen on a phone: a made-up competitor's feature launch video — The same alert as a push notification and in the AyeWatch app.

Alerts land in your feed and as push in the AyeWatch iOS and Android app. On Pro and Pro+ you can also turn on email, Slack, or a webhook.
