Ary Aranguiz shows how to build a daily automation in Claude Cowork that searches YouTube for AI videos aimed at small businesses. You'll set up a scheduled task, name it, configure the output format with video titles and links, and run it at 9 AM each day. The tutorial covers testing the task and viewing results as a dashboard or Google Doc.
Create and automate a scheduled task in Claude that scans for YouTube videos about AI for SMBs. Start by accessing the Cowork workspace. Navigate to the Schedule tab to organize and automate a task. Click +New Task to begin creating an automated workflow. Select Set Up Manually to customize your scheduled automation. Enter a clear, and descriptive name for your scheduled task. In this example, we are going to name it the AI for SMB Video Research Agent. Provide a concise description outlining the purpose and output of this scheduled task. In this example, we are adding scan YouTube and find videos that pertain to AI for SMBs. Only include videos published in 2026. Fine-tune additional task details to maximize automation accuracy. In this example, we are adding that the agent should brand the output, add the title of the video, why it matters, a date tag, and generate a dashboard with the list and links of the videos found. Select the frequency dropdown to set your preferred automation schedule. In this example, Daily has been selected to ensure the YouTube research task runs every day automatically. Click Save to activate your automated daily YouTube research task. The scheduled task has been created to run daily at 9 AM. Use Run Now to test launch your YouTube research task and see immediate results. Check the task status by clicking View to check the scheduled task results. The YouTube Research Agent gets to work and scans YouTube for videos about AI for SMBs published in 2026. The YouTube Research Agent provides a list of YouTube video links published in 2026 pertaining to AI for SMBs. The YouTube list can be viewed as a landing page or downloaded as Google Document. Open your YouTube research document in Google Drive for seamless access and collaboration. Click a YouTube link directly from your curated list for instant video review. Copy a video link for easy sharing or documentation right from your research summary. Open the YouTube dashboard in Chrome for a live view of the AI video research filtered for SMBs. Every day, or as often as you set the task, you will get a curated scan of new YouTube videos for SMBs as a document and as a landing page. Thank you for watching!
