CHROME EXTENSION

Sponsorship intel,
everywhere you already browse.

The extension is the free taste of the managed offering that rides along with you: anywhere a YouTube channel turns up on the internet, it lights up seven years of matched sponsorship data, right where you found it — the same brain our team runs your program on.

01 THREE TOOLS, ONE BRAIN

Three surfaces. One source of truth.

Same data, same login, same credit balance, same schema underneath all three. You don't pick a product — you pick the tool that fits the moment, and they hand off to each other without losing a beat.

CHROME EXTENSION
In the moment

Rides along with you. Anywhere a YouTube channel shows up, the side panel turns it into deal history, evergreenness, demographics, and a fair-price benchmark — without leaving the page.

THE CLI
At depth & scale

Hand your agent the raw schema and it researches, vets, books, and reports across thousands of channels at once. The power tool for the questions a side panel can't hold.

THE WEB APP
For the whole team

The shared source of truth — pipeline, proposals, and reports your whole team works out of. What you find in the browser or the terminal lands here for everyone.

Spot it in the browser, dig in with the agent, share it with the team — one continuous workflow, three tools deep.

02 ANYWHERE A CHANNEL IS MENTIONED

Not just on YouTube — wherever a creator shows up.

Every other tool makes you stop, copy a handle, and paste it into a dashboard. The extension flips that around: it recognizes YouTube channels in the page you're already on and lets you act on them in place. Highlight a name, a handle, or a URL — the side panel does the rest.

No tab-switch. No lost context. The research happens where the question came up.

03 RUN THE SKILLS RIGHT THERE

Vet before you book — without leaving the page.

The extension isn't just a viewer. It runs the same agent skills the CLI runs. Click Check authenticity and the channel-authenticity skill runs against the same backend — flagging non-organic views, bot or templated comments, and engagement that doesn't add up.

Same logic the CLI runs, same seven years of data, one click in the side panel. The verdict lands before you've even opened a spreadsheet.

And it generalizes: if it can run as a skill, it can run from the extension. Authenticity today; keyword research, lookalike discovery, and price benchmarks on the same rails next.

# channel authenticity · ScreenCrush (2.1M subs)

  views      ✓ organic     view curve tracks the subscriber base
  comments   ⚠ 9% templated  small bot cluster flagged
  likes      ✓ 4.1%        like/view within the niche band
  velocity   ✓ steady      no spikes inconsistent with history

  verdict:  likely SAFE TO BOOK — sample one video first
The channel-authenticity skill — one click in the side panel, or one prompt in your agent.
04 NOTHING NEW TO OPERATE

No new account. No new bill. No new data.

Same login, same credits.

The extension shells out to your installed tl binary over native messaging and reuses the same PKCE auth and credit balance. Idle costs nothing; you pay by the row, just like the CLI.

The schema is the API.

Adding a field to the side panel isn't a new endpoint — it's another column. Deal history, evergreenness, and demographics all come from the same queries your agent runs.

~4k lines, zero services.

An MV3, side-panel-first extension whose entire data layer is one function. The CLI does the data; the extension does layout and YouTube DOM observation. See the engineering →

Stop copy-pasting handles into dashboards.

The extension rides on the CLI. Install it, and you're ready the day early access lands.
