AI Disclaimer
Important information about how AI-generated scores and suggestions should be interpreted.
Key Disclaimer
AI retention scores are script-quality estimates and do not guarantee YouTube performance. Actual results also depend on editing, delivery, audience, title, thumbnail, and traffic sources.
1. What the Scores Mean
Retention Editor produces numerical scores and letter grades (e.g., 75/100, B-) that represent estimated script quality based on text analysis. These scores evaluate pacing, hook strength, repetition, structural clarity, and other text-based factors. They are not sourced from YouTube Studio, YouTube Analytics, or any real audience data.
2. What the Scores Do Not Measure
The AI analysis cannot predict or control the following factors, which significantly influence real-world viewer retention on YouTube:
3. How the AI Works
Retention Editor uses the Google Gemini language model to analyze script text. The AI evaluates patterns in sentence structure, section transitions, opening hooks, pacing distribution, and content density to produce its scores and rewrite suggestions. Results may vary between analyses of the same script due to the probabilistic nature of language models.
4. Rewrite Suggestions
AI-generated rewrite suggestions are creative alternatives meant to improve script pacing. They should be reviewed and edited to match your personal voice, accuracy requirements, and brand style. Do not publish AI-generated rewrites without review. The AI may alter meaning, introduce inaccuracies, or change your intended tone.
5. No Affiliation with YouTube
Retention Editor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to YouTube, Google LLC (as a platform operator), or any YouTube partner program. The term “retention” in our name refers to script-quality analysis, not official YouTube audience retention metrics.
6. Limitation of Liability
We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy of the AI analysis or the suitability of the suggestions for any particular purpose. The Service is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. We are not liable for any loss of views, revenue, subscribers, or other metrics resulting from the use of or reliance on AI-generated scores and suggestions.
7. Recommended Use
We recommend using Retention Editor as one input among many in your content creation process. Combine AI script analysis with your own experience, audience feedback, A/B testing, and YouTube Studio analytics for the best results. The tool is designed to help you think critically about your script structure — not to replace your creative judgment.
