First steps

Getting started with VidAI

About three minutes from nothing to your first AI-written title. No accounts to juggle, no copy-pasting between websites.

  1. Install the VidAI extension

    Open VidAI on the Chrome Web Store and click the blue Add to Chrome button, then Add extension in the popup Chrome shows. (On a new computer or browser? That same link is all you need — open it there and click Add to Chrome.) It runs quietly and only wakes up on YouTube.

  2. Pin it so it's one click away

    Click the puzzle-piece 🧩 icon at the top-right of Chrome, find VidAI in the list, and click the pin 📌 next to it. The VidAI icon now sits in your toolbar permanently — that's the button you'll use to sign in and check credits.

  3. Sign in to link your account

    Click the VidAI icon in your toolbar to open the popup, then click Sign in. A tab opens, you confirm, and you're linked. You'll see a green "Signed in to VidAI ✓" confirmation. No password to create — it's the same account as vidai.help.

  4. Open a video in YouTube Studio

    Go to studio.youtube.com, open any video, and click Edit (or the details page). VidAI quietly adds its tools right under YouTube's own fields — you don't install anything else.

  5. Generate your first result

    Find the VidAI title section, type a short brief if you like, and click Generate. A few seconds later the suggestions appear right there. Pick one — it drops straight into YouTube's field.

Install, sign in, open Studio, generateInstallSign inOpen StudioGenerate ✨
That's the whole setup. Everything after this is just different buttons.
Tip: If you ever see a small "you're not signed in" notice on YouTube, just click Sign in on it — it's the same quick step as above.
Good to know: VidAI never posts anything for you. It writes suggestions and places them in the field — you always review and click the real YouTube button yourself.

Using VidAI on more than one computer

Editing from a laptop and a studio machine? You don't have to sign in again on each one. Open the one-time extension link in the browser you want to connect — it links that browser's VidAI in seconds, no second sign-in needed. The link is single-use and valid for one hour, so it's safe to generate whenever you switch machines.

Manage everything in one place: your plan, credit balance, interface language and account live in VidAI Settings. The per-channel voice & reply preferences live in the ⚙️ menu inside YouTube Studio — see Channel Intelligence.

✅ You're set up when…

  • The VidAI popup shows your email and your credit balance.
  • You see VidAI tools added under YouTube's fields on a video page.
  • Your first generated suggestion appeared and dropped into place.
