Quickstart
Give any AI agent or LLM the ability to use TubeLab's API with a single markdown file.
You can give any AI agent or LLM full knowledge of TubeLab's API by adding a single skill file to its context.
The skill teaches AI agents how to search for channels, find outlier videos, get transcripts, run scans and more - all through curl commands.
Just ask your agent:
