AI diagram generation

Diagram-as-code integrations
Paste code or connect private and public Git repositories, Confluence, Notion, VS Code, and GitHub to keep diagrams grounded in actual implementation.
Open-source agent toolkit and MCP server
Run the agent toolkit in your own infrastructure under an MIT license and let MCP-compatible clients create, search, update, and export diagrams with OAuth or API tokens.

VidStats
Realtime YouTube analytics plus AI tools that turn your numbers into your next upload
Realtime analytics dashboard
See views for the last 60 minutes and 48 hours minute by minute, along with top videos, traffic sources, Shorts versus long-form, and concurrent stream viewers, all synced from YouTube Studio every minute by the VidStats Chrome extension.
Dashboard-wide filtering and period comparison
Filter by country, device, traffic source, format or single video and every panel on the page recalculates. Every number is compared against the previous period on one zoomable chart covering views, watch time, subscribers, engagement and revenue.
Audience intelligence and retention curves
Age and gender splits, subscribers versus casual viewers, devices, top countries and cities, an interactive 3D globe, and an audience retention curve that shows how well your first 30 seconds hold viewers.
Smart Upload and Scheduler
Upload straight to YouTube with the SEO work already done: a target keyword pulled from live search suggestions, AI-written title, description, tags and chapters, a live SEO score, AI thumbnails built from your own frames, 25-language translations, and scheduling at your best-performing hour.
Strengths & Pros
+Reports exact realtime views synced from YouTube Studio instead of modeled estimates
+Analytics and AI tools live in one product, so insight flows straight into publishing
+Transparent about data it cannot split rather than filling gaps with guesses
+Chrome extension brings SEO fixes, comment replies and chapter tooling inside YouTube itself
+Shareable read-only dashboard links with revenue hidden by default for sponsor reporting
+Free standalone YouTube tools and a no-signup demo let you evaluate before paying
Limitations
–Requires connecting a YouTube channel via Google sign-in to see your own analytics (free tools and the demo work without an account)
–AI pro tools run on a credit system, so heavy usage can exhaust the monthly allowance before the billing date
–Unused credits don't roll over to the next month
–There's no permanently free plan for the analytics dashboard or AI tools, only a 7-day trial
–Realtime minute-level view syncing depends on the Chrome extension being open in the browser
