# YouScript > AI YouTube script generator that uses your channel and selected voice-matching videos to write retention-optimized scripts in 15 minutes. Built for creators who publish regularly and want scripts that hold viewers until the end screen. YouScript starts from a topic, finds your YouTube channel by handle, name, or full channel URL, and uses selected voice-matching videos to understand vocabulary, sentence rhythm, and transition patterns. It applies the structural architecture found in high-retention videos to generate complete, record-ready scripts. The product is a web app available at youscript.pro.
