feeding a reference URL to extract visual DNA instead of describing a style from scratch. that's the part I've been doing manually for too long.

@jiang_nancy I'm so glad to hear your comment!! It's a sign that I'm on the right track!
During this pipeline process you're working on, is there any annoying part that you still feel is stuck?
@jonhvmp the part that's still stuck is closing the loop. generating thumbnails fast is solved, but knowing which one actually drove clicks — and feeding that back into the next batch — still manual.

@jiang_nancy That’s exactly the gap I’m focused on now.
Right now Creator OS already handles the front half well: you can feed a reference URL to extract the visual DNA, generate fast variations, and pull real channel analytics like CTR when YouTube is connected. We also surface top-performing and underperforming videos.
But you’re right: the last step, automatically feeding “what actually won” back into the next batch, is still too manual. That’s the part I’m building toward, because that’s where a thumbnail tool stops being a generator and starts becoming a real optimization system.
Out of curiosity, when you close that loop manually today, what do you trust most: CTR alone, early velocity in the first 24h, or watch time after the click?
I'm building a similar (but very different) product so this is interesting to see! I particularly like the idea of an alternative to Manychat, as they have recently raised their prices...more than double actually. Automations like this are immensely powerful. Ill be watching closely, congrats on the launch!

@derek_curtis1 Thank you for your support! To be honest, I wasn't even inspired by ManyChat haha, I was thinking of something to also reach the Instagram creator audience, I thought about what they really want, something simple, straight to the point, and easy to connect and start.
Thank you so much for your support and I wish you success with your product!!
@jonhvmp You as well. Stay in touch man! Look me up if youre on X

@derek_curtis1 OK! I will accompany you, I hope to exchange experiences! You can never have too much knowledge!

Webhook-driven comment handling over scraping is the grown-up choice — every creator tool that went custom-scraper has eventually eaten a ban. Thumbnail-DNA extraction (palette/layout/energy) as style-anchor is the interesting bit; most AI thumbnail tools default to "look like a youtuber" generic. Curious how Creator OS signals when a past thumbnail's DNA is stylistically stale.

@mcarmonas true!! using scrape requires certainty that it will be available! otherwise it will drain resources! I'm a dev and I know how scraper works, but I also know when to use it!
with the official API it's easy, everything is already chewed up, the cost is paid for by the quality, while scrapers require dribbles to get around verification problems, etc.! There are many ways today to avoid this, but it still requires a high level of guidance and LLM to navigate intelligently, even so the cost still outweighs using the official one.
about DNA, it's something I've really enjoyed about Creator!! look how it looks!
