What agents can do

Set what each agent can do across your channel.

Each area of YouTube, like comments, videos, or uploads, gets one of three levels: Off, Read, or Full use. Anything not allowed is denied.

Off
No access
The agent can't see that part of your channel.
Read
Read-only
The agent can read videos, stats, and comments in that area. It can't change anything.
Full use
Reply and update
The agent can reply to and moderate comments in that area.

Some actions stay off until explicitly turned on

Each one publishes or removes content in your name, so it could override the limits set elsewhere.

Set up & manage

Connect once. Manage everyone from there.

Connect once, then control access person by person. No new keys to hand out.

Step 1 · Set up

Connect once, company-wide

An admin connects your company's YouTube a single time. Bollard AI lays out the areas of your channel, and anything you don't allow stays out of reach for every agent.

Step 2 · Manage

Control access per person and agent

From one dashboard, set what every person and their agents can reach. Change it any time, with no new keys for anyone.

OffNo access

Example

A community management agent.

A channel agent replies to comments and can read your video stats, but it can't upload or delete videos.

The security model

Top-tier security.

Bollard AI is access control for AI agents. It sits between your agents and YouTube, so they never hold your YouTube keys and never reach YouTube directly.

Everything runs through Bollard AI

Agents send their requests to Bollard AI, not to YouTube. Bollard AI checks each one against your rules and passes only the allowed requests through.

Denied by default

Every area starts off-limits, and uploading or deleting videos is held back on top of that. An agent gets in only where you've allowed it, and anything Bollard AI doesn't recognise is refused and held for review, never waved through on a guess.

Your keys stay sealed

Your YouTube keys are sealed in a vault unique to your company and never shown again. Bollard AI unlocks them only for the instant an allowed request needs it.

Activity you can read

Every attempt is recorded in plain English: who or which agent, what they tried, which video or comment, and the decision. The record is readable and can't be edited after the fact.

Questions

YouTube, answered.

Does connecting YouTube hand Bollard AI your whole channel?+
Only the areas you allow. An admin connects your YouTube, and you decide which areas, like comments or videos, each agent can reach. Bollard AI doesn't browse or copy your channel. It sits in front of it and checks every request the agents make, passing or blocking each one.
Can an agent upload or delete videos on its own?+
Not unless you turn it on. Uploading and deleting videos is held off by default, so an agent can reply to comments and read stats where you allow without ever changing your published content, until you explicitly allow it.
Can an agent see more than the person who owns it?+
No. An agent reaches only what its owner reaches. An explicit Off always overrides an inherited permission.
Where do our YouTube keys live?+
Sealed in an encrypted vault, behind a key unique to your company. It's never shown again once connected, and Bollard AI unseals it only for the instant an allowed request needs it.
What happens when an agent tries something it's not allowed to do?+
Bollard AI blocks the request before it reaches YouTube, and the blocked attempt lands in the activity record with the reason.
How do we connect YouTube?+
An admin connects the company's YouTube once. Bollard AI seals the connection and lays out the areas of your channel to set rules for. From then on, all management happens in the Bollard AI dashboard.
