SEO experiments

• vidseeds_generate_seo_title_experiments - title variants for testing.

Copilot / assistant (Q&A)

• vidseeds_get_copilot_response - channel-aware answers.
• Assistant threads: vidseeds_list_assistant_conversations, vidseeds_get_assistant_conversation, vidseeds_send_assistant_message, vidseeds_confirm_assistant_suggestion - see tool descriptions for collab flows.

After research → action

Typical handoff:

1. Intelligence or autopsy → refine metadata via vidseeds-projects.
2. Trends/keywords → thumbnail brief via vidseeds-thumbnails.
3. Public audit → user decides positioning; no automatic publish.

Always run vidseeds_get_seed_balance before batch intelligence calls.
