Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Grok Bot was connected to Video Stats by chatting: the user asked it to add a custom MCP server, pasted the URL, and authorized a channel in the browser. Video Stats then supplied thumbnail images with each video's results. On Justin Brown's Primal Video channel, the user asked what was working in the top 90-day thumbnails. Grok Bot compared them with the channel average and offered to sketch new concepts.

  2. How it went

    Grok Bot reported a 5.1% average impression CTR against 14 to 19% for the winners, led by CapCut Pad. It found that two top thumbnails shared a system and flagged one vertical thumbnail that underperformed.

  3. Worth knowing

    You need a Video Stats account, and Grok Bot is in beta. The write-up shows chat screenshots and doesn't say whether the new thumbnail ideas were actually used.

Example prompts

Try with Grok Bot
Using my YouTube analytics for [channel name], compare the click-through rate of my top [10] videos' thumbnails against my channel average. Tell me what the best ones have in common, then suggest [5] new thumbnail ideas for upcoming videos on [topic]. You're finished when I have a short comparison table and written descriptions of each idea.
