Today, we're thrilled to announce the biggest update to ScriptKit since launch: Smart Research—an AI-powered research assistant designed specifically for YouTube creators.
The Problem We're Solving
Every creator knows the research struggle:
- Hours spent searching Google for reliable information
- Watching competitor videos to understand what works
- Scrolling through Reddit threads for authentic perspectives
- Trying to synthesize it all into something coherent
Research is essential, but it shouldn't consume half your production time.

Raw information isn't enough. Smart Research:
