About this reference video

The video shows the source task and its recorded outcome. The guide below explains how to run that task through NextBrowser: choose a profile and browser toolset, start a session, then supervise your local agent in Chat and Live View. Interface labels and results can differ from the recording.

Overview

A niche search can mix Shorts with long-form videos and visible metrics with estimates. Use NextBrowser to inspect each candidate before calling the output a Shorts creator shortlist. Preserve format evidence, observation dates and metric definitions so the list can support a specific campaign brief.

What happens in the video

The request asks for Shein Haul Shorts research, but the visible search results include long-form videos. The agent describes subscriber counts as estimates, then displays a creator workbook with audience categories and engagement metrics. The recording does not establish a verified Shorts-only shortlist.

Before you start

  • NextBrowser on macOS or Windows, signed in through browser pairing
  • An installed and authenticated local agent: Claude Code or Codex from the ChatGPT desktop app
  • A niche, target region and explicit Shorts-only or mixed-format selection rule

Run this in NextBrowser

Follow these steps in your own NextBrowser workspace. The video summary records the source demonstration; your result needs the checks below.

  1. Prepare the NextBrowser session

    Use a research profile, open YouTube and confirm the current search and filters in Live View. State the required video format in Chat so a broad search is not mistaken for a Shorts dataset.

  2. Give the local agent a scoped task

    Select your local agent in NextBrowser. Confirm the active profile and tab for YouTube search results for Shein Haul or your chosen niche. Submit the prompt below in Chat after replacing its placeholders. The selected profile name is guidance for the agent; check the actual session in the sidebar and Live View.

  3. Collect the task evidence

    Ask the agent to open each candidate video and creator page, identify the format and collect channel URL, video URL, date, views and visible subscriber count. Keep estimates labeled and calculate engagement only from clearly defined fields.

  4. Review the result against the browser

    Audit every shortlisted format if the brief is Shorts-only. The recording includes long-form results and estimated subscribers; exclude those rows or relabel the output before using it for a campaign.

Send this prompt in NextBrowser Chat

Suggested prompt

Use the intended NextBrowser profile [profile name]. First confirm the running session, active tab and target site; stop if they do not match. Find YouTube Shorts creators about [topic] from [date range]. Verify each video is a Short. Record channel and video URLs, publication dates, and observed audience and engagement metrics. Label estimates and missing values. State the engagement formula and build a shortlist containing only verified matches. Report source URLs, the actual amount collected and any incomplete checks. Keep this run to research; do not purchase, publish or change account settings.

Replace the placeholders, then send this in NextBrowser Chat with the intended profile and agent selected. This is a suggested task, not the recording transcript.

What to verify in your run

  • A creator shortlist with video-format evidence and dated source URLs
  • Visible metrics separated from estimates, plus exclusions and missing data

Questions about this workflow

Does the recording establish a verified Shorts-only shortlist?

No. The request targets Shorts, but visible results include long-form videos. Verify format and dates, and replace estimated subscriber counts with checked values before using the list.

Are engagement rates always comparable?

Only with comparable formulas and inputs. State the denominator and distinguish channel-level from video-level measures.
