Ask Videxa: talk an idea through

Ask already knows your channel

Ask is a chat that already knows the channel you connected. Open it from "Ask" in the sidebar, or from the tab bar at the bottom of your phone screen. You need a free account and a connected channel.

You see a card that starts "What I know about", followed by your channel's name. On a phone it shows while the chat is empty, and on a wide screen it stays at the side. It lists things like "Subscribers", "Goal", "Your voice", "Last upload", "Niche" and "Next planned". Ask uses these in its answers, so you do not need to explain your channel every time.

If something is missing, the card offers a fix. Next to "Goal" you may see "Not set yet" with a "Set it" button. Next to "Your voice" you may see "I do not know it yet" with a "Teach me" button. It opens the short voice quiz from the lesson "Teach Videxa your voice in 2 minutes".

Fill both gaps before you ask for ideas. A goal helps Ask pace its advice to you, and a saved voice makes its titles and hooks sound more like you.

Start with a starter, or your own words

Below the card are up to 6 starter buttons built from your channel, such as "What should my next video be?" and "Write 5 hooks for my next video". One may ask how your latest video did, with its title filled in. Tap a starter to send it.

Or type your own question in the box that says 'Ask anything, or say "give me ideas"'. A question can be 2 to 2,000 characters. Press Enter or tap the arrow to send. On a computer, Shift+Enter adds a new line. While Ask is answering, the arrow turns into a square stop button. Tap it to halt the answer. If an answer fails, for example when your internet drops, your question stays in the chat with the reason and a "Retry" button. A failed try is not saved, so retrying does not repeat anything.

Under each answer, "Copy" copies it as plain text. After an answer, Ask may also offer a few follow-up suggestions you can tap.

Tell Ask what only you know: who the video is for, when you can film and what you cannot do. "I can film only on Sundays, at home, on my phone" gets you ideas you can actually make.

Turn an idea card into a plan

When Ask suggests videos, they come back as idea cards. Ideas meant for Shorts carry a "Short" badge. Tap a card to pick it. A "Working on" bar with the idea's title then stays above the box, with a "Write it" button, so you always know which idea you picked. The picked card shows four buttons:

A plan, not a promise

Start with "Build it out first". It is easier to check a plan than to fix finished titles.

Every idea is a suggestion, not a promise. No tool, including Videxa, and no course, including this one, can promise views. Your video is still the real work.

Asking in Marathi

Ask has no language setting. Videxa asks the AI to reply in the language you write in, so a question in Marathi should get an answer in Marathi. Marathi quality can vary.

If a Marathi answer reads oddly, ask the same question again in English or Hinglish. Then say the useful parts in your own Marathi words when you film. Your viewers come for your voice, not the AI's.

What Ask cannot see

Videxa reads only your channel's public data, such as subscribers, views, likes and comments, and refreshes it about once a night. So Ask cannot see the private numbers in YouTube Studio: retention (how long viewers keep watching), CTR (click-through rate: how often viewers watched a video after seeing its thumbnail on YouTube), watch time, revenue, or traffic sources (where viewers found your video). When it lacks a number like CTR or retention, Ask is told to say so plainly and point you to YouTube Studio.

YouTube Studio's Analytics shows how long viewers keep watching. Its Intro measure shows what percentage of viewers are still watching after the first 30 seconds ^[1].

Studio's Analytics is also where you find CTR. In some Studio versions, Analytics is called Insights. The lesson "Reading YouTube Studio without panic" explains CTR and shows you how to read these numbers calmly.

So bring the numbers to Ask yourself. Type what Studio shows, for example: "My last video's Intro shows 35% still watching at 30 seconds. Suggest one change to my next opening." The line under the box says it too: "Videxa can be wrong. Check important numbers in YouTube Studio."

Your daily allowance

On the Free plan, Ask gives you 15 questions a day, inside the daily usage you share with Write and the planner. Once you have used 80% or more of today's usage, a line under the box says what is left and when it is full again, such as "20% of today's allowance left. Back to full at 12:00 AM." On a wide screen, a "Today's allowance" card at the side shows your usage and, on Free, your questions, with the time they reset.

When you reach a limit, a card says exactly when Ask is back, for example "Ask Videxa is back at 12:00 AM tonight (India time)". Your question stays in the box, so you can send it then. The lesson "Making the most of the Free plan" explains daily usage.

Keep what matters before "New chat"

"New chat" asks first: "Start a new chat?" It explains: "This conversation is cleared. Your goal, voice and calendar stay as they are." Tap "Keep this chat" to go back, or "Start new chat" to clear it. There is no list to get an old chat back, so first copy any answer you want to keep with its "Copy" button. To keep just the idea, "Plan for tomorrow" puts it on your calendar.

Ask always has your channel data, but from the chat itself it reads only the last 10 messages, yours and its own together.

So in a long chat, repeat the key facts in your new message, such as the video's topic, who it is for and any Studio number you shared earlier.
