# Title Variant Generation

## Goal
Analyze top-performing video titles and generate variants adapted to your niche.

## Scripts
- `./scripts/generate_title_variants.py` - Generate variants
- `./scripts/update_sheet.py` - Update sheets

## Usage

```bash
# Mode A: Update existing sheet with variants
python3 ./scripts/generate_title_variants.py \
  --sheet-url "SHEET_URL" \
  --mode update

# Mode B: Create new sheet with variants
python3 ./scripts/generate_title_variants.py \
  --input .tmp/outliers.json \
  --mode create
```

## How It Works
1. Analyzes original title's hook, emotional trigger, structure
2. Adapts to your specific niche (AI agents, automation, etc.)
3. Generates 3 meaningfully different variants
4. Keeps under 100 characters (YouTube best practice)

## Configuration
```python
USER_CHANNEL_NICHE = "AI agents, automation, LangGraph, CrewAI, agentic workflows"
```

## Output
Three title variants per input, stored in sheet columns:
- Title Variant 1
- Title Variant 2
- Title Variant 3
