Build this tool: Comment Intent Sorter
Product folder name: Comment Intent Sorter
Display title: Comment Intent Sorter

PRODUCT BRIEF
Desktop app that turns a messy YouTube comment dump into creator-useful buckets.
Paste comments OR fetch from a video URL via YouTube Data API. Gemini classifies
each comment into Reply now / Praise / Feedback / Hate / Spam / Chatter, ranks
Reply now by urgency, and can draft short reply starters. Local code only counts,
filters, and exports — never invents intent labels.

CONTEXT
Difficulty: Medium
Category: Howto & Style / Creator Ops

TREND HOOK
Creators drown in comments. The viral beat is: "I sorted 100 comments — only 7
actually needed a reply." Show the Reply now pile lighting up while spam/hate
fall away.

VIDEO ANGLE
Short: dump ugly comments → Reply now count is the punchline.
Long: build in Cursor, paste mode demo, optional YouTube fetch, export CSV.

WHY THIS TOOL
No Casey tool currently fetches or sorts comments. This is community ops, not
another title grader — high shareability because every creator feels the pain.
