No card required for the trial · Cancel anytime · For creators building real channels, not chasing hacks
From the team behind a 1.2M-view documentary on Amazon Prime — Vidstew was built workflow-first, not prompt-first.
Inside the workspace
Channel-grounded AI that already knows what works on your channel, paired with the workflow tools producers actually need. Scroll through the six surfaces visitors care about most.
Topic ideas scored against your audience baseline and grounded with real-world anchors — citable sources, not plausible-sounding fluff. Thumb up/down feeds back into the next batch.

60-second tour
From topic brainstorm to publish — the full workflow in one minute. Filmed inside the actual product.
Product demo — coming soon
Jason is filming a 60-second walkthrough of the actual workflow — topic brainstorm to publish. Drop your email below if you'd like us to ping you when it lands.
The problem
Producers run their channels from a stack of half-broken Notion pages, spreadsheets, and Slack threads — losing context every time something moves between tools.
You don't know if any of them fit your audience until you've sunk a week into scripting.
Topic ideation scores every concept against your channel's actual top performers + audience baseline. Strong / medium / risky verdict before you write a single word.
You ship hoping the click-through holds. When it doesn't, you can't say why.
Packaging analysis (vision) scores each title + thumbnail combo against your CTR baseline. Returns specific title fixes + thumbnail edits a designer can ship in 10 minutes.
Notes in Notion. Footage in Drive. Scripts in Google Docs. Comments in Frame. Nothing talks to anything.
9-stage wizard holds your Producer + Writer + Editor + QA on the same project. Recording → Editing → QA → Scheduling all hand off cleanly with the context preserved.
You know the last video taught you something. By the next one, you've already forgotten what.
Performance & Lessons stage triages CTR / AVD / retention into durable lessons. Ground future ideation in what already worked — not what felt like it worked.
Honest qualifier
If you're building a real channel — the kind people subscribe to and actually keep watching — Vidstew was built for you. If you're looking for shortcuts, save your money.
We'd rather you skip the trial than churn after week two. No hard feelings.
More productivity. Fewer tools.
Most producers run their channel out of half a dozen tools that don't talk to each other. Tick the ones you use today and see what Vidstew saves you.

FAQ
Vidstew is a workspace for YouTube creators that combines the workflow tools (planning, scripting, QA, scheduling) with channel-grounded AI (topic ideation, packaging analysis, performance review). One place for the parts of the job YouTube doesn't give you.
Free includes the full project-management workflow with no AI. Pro and Team unlock every AI surface for $49/$79 per month respectively. We absorb the underlying Gemini cost; you don't pay per call.
Every new account gets a 30-day Team trial — full access to every feature, no card required. After 30 days you pick Pro, Team, or stay on Free. We surface an honest recommendation based on your actual usage so you don't pay for seats you don't have anyone to put in.
You can add channels manually (just paste the URL or @handle) — that gives you all the public-data grounding. Connecting via OAuth is optional and unlocks Studio Analytics integration so the AI can read your real CTR / AVD / retention.
We don't train any models on it. Your channel context, scripts, and feedback live in your private Firestore documents — encrypted at rest, served only to you and your invited teammates. We use Gemini for AI calls; Google's API ToS apply.

“Every creator I know who's actually growing has a process. Every creator who isn't has a stack of tools pretending to be one. Vidstew is the process. It's the tool I built because I needed it — and because the channels I work with needed it more.”
