What Hermes Astros is

Hermes Astros is a YouTube breakout radar built by JR Cloud Technologies. It watches a list of keywords and channels, pulls the public statistics for recent videos through the YouTube Data API, and flags the ones that are doing far better than their channel normally does. A video with 10x its channel's median views is a signal that the topic is hot, not just the creator.

How the scoring works

• Outlier: views divided by the channel's median views over its last 20 uploads.
• Velocity: views per day since publish, so a 3-day-old video is not punished for being new.
• Recency: newer videos weigh more inside the sweep window.
• Channels under a minimum subscriber count are ignored to cut noise.

Top videos from each sweep are clustered into topics by an AI model, which also drafts titles, angles and a hook per topic. Those are starting points for your own content, not copies of anyone's video.
