๐ŸŽฏ The Challenge

Nykaa's Creamy Matte Lipstick collection has dozens of YouTube reviews from beauty influencers. Each review contains valuable consumer insightsโ€”but manually watching, analyzing, and consolidating hours of video content is time-consuming and subjective.

How do you extract actionable product insights from multiple video reviews at scale?

๐Ÿ”ฌ The Approach

We uploaded 5 popular YouTube reviews of Nykaa's Creamy Matte Lipstick collection to Vidopix and asked a simple question:

"What is your review of the creamy matte lipstick collection by Nykaa?"

Vidopix's AI analyzed each review individually, then generated a consolidated insights report with sentiment analysis, key drivers, pain points, and actionable recommendations.
