The YouTube Skill will allow you to add YouTube channels or content videos in the Skills section of Digital DNA Studio. This skill can be customized to your needs, depending on what channel you want to focus on in your search. The skill takes the conversational request from the end-user and uses the YouTube API to search those channels and videos looking for matches. If there is a match, it will return a customizable conversation response along the lines of “Here is a video I found on that topic", along with the video link and description. The Digital Person will speak the conversational response, then the enterprise customer's UI will be responsible for showing the video.

The YouTube Skill allows you to include YouTube channels or content videos as part of the Digital Person experience.

This Skill is:

  • Built and owned by Soul Machines Ltd.

  • Only supported in English.

  • Powered by the YouTube API.

Refer to Creating a Project | 3. Connect conversation and add skills for detailed instructions on adding Skills to your project.
