Short answer

How do I check my video views with AI?

You can ask your AI to list your video assets or pull specific view counts for recent content. It uses Mux data to give you direct answers about engagement. You'll get specific counts and asset details through simple chat commands.

Where your data lands.

The outcomes of your queries.

Your AI pulls information from Mux and delivers it directly to your chat interface.

DATA

Live view counts

The AI fetches current engagement numbers for your videos. You get the exact numbers you need without opening a dashboard.

ASSETS

Video inventory

Your agent can list all your uploaded content. This makes it easy to find specific files by name or ID.

DETAILS

Specific asset info

You can drill down into a single video to see its specific metadata. The AI pulls the exact details for the file you ask about.

HUMAN

Manual decisions

The AI only reads data. You still need to decide how to act on these metrics or how to change your content strategy.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.
