Two simple features. Two ways to never miss a thing
Alerts are for when you know what you are looking for. Digests, for when you just want to know what was said.
Keyword alerts
Enter a name, a company, a topic or a phrase. When someone says it on a channel you monitor, you get an email with the exact transcript of the sentence it came up in. Plus a link straight to that moment in the video.
- Precise searchWords, names and whole phrases. Supports the AND, OR, NOT operators, plus the asterisk (*) to catch every form of a word.
- All channels or just someOne alert can cover all your channels at once, or only the ones you pick.
- When does the email arrive?Instantly, hourly, daily or weekly. Or skip the emails: every result is in the app too.
- With contextThe email shows the quote along with the sentences around it, so you know right away in what context it was said.
- Trends over timeA clear chart of how often your topic comes up.
- For your team tooSend an alert to any address you like, such as a colleague or your work inbox.

Frequently asked questions
How many channels can I monitor for free?
One YouTube channel, with keyword alerts and AI digests included. With PRO, monitor as many channels as you like.
What is the difference between an alert and a digest?
An alert looks for specific words and sends you the sentences where they were said. A digest tells you what every new video was about, even when you don't know in advance what to look for. You can use both at once.
When do I get the email?
As soon as the new video is transcribed. For alerts, you choose whether the email comes instantly, hourly, daily or weekly. Digests can come right away, or bundled once a day or once a week.
What language are the digests in?
The language you set for the AI assistant, even when the video itself is in another language. We transcribe videos in 98 languages.
Does GASTON cover a channel's older videos?
Monitoring covers new uploads. To transcribe a channel's entire history, use full channel download, which is part of PRO.
Can I monitor sites other than YouTube?
Monitoring works for YouTube channels. Single videos and audio from other sites can be transcribed by pasting a link.
Can I send alerts to my colleagues?
Yes. Every alert and digest can go to a different email address than the one on your account.
Where is my data processed?
Transcription runs on GASTON's own servers in Bratislava, Slovakia. AI digests are written by an external service, OpenAI.
