YouTube leads for AI tool founders
AI tooling videos pull a very specific kind of comment: developers asking about rate limits, context windows, self-hosting, model swaps and seat pricing. Those are not compliments, they are pre-sales questions — and they are the highest-signal comments you will ever receive. VocLens separates them from the noise and delivers them with the video timestamp attached, so your answer lands while the viewer is still evaluating instead of a week later, when they have already shortlisted someone else. Because the model, the pricing tier and the deployment question usually arrive in the same sentence, these are also the easiest comments to answer well.
Why it works
API, rate limit, context window, self-hosting and pricing questions are labeled high intent without you writing a single keyword rule.
Each lead links to the exact second of the demo that prompted the question, so the reply can reference what they actually saw.
See the commenter's channel and subscriber count before deciding how much time the answer deserves.
Push technical questions into Notion so they become trackable rows with an owner and a stage.

FAQ
Can it tell an API question from general feedback?
Yes. Comments are classified into high intent, tech support and general, with finer sub-labels for pricing, API and enterprise interest.
How quickly are comments processed?
Comments are polled every few minutes through the official YouTube Data API, so most leads reach your destination within five minutes.
Can I forward support questions too?
Yes. The intent policy is yours — forward high intent only, or include tech support and route it somewhere else.
