Jade by Human First Studios gives creators control over when, if, and how they read their YouTube comments, turning the comment section from something that drains you into something you can use with intention.
Jade is the first creator tool from Human First Studios: a softer way to stay connected without giving the comment section your power.

Creators pour themselves into their work. But reading comments means absorbing everything: the gratitude, the questions, and the cruelty. Most creators either endure it all or avoid comments entirely. Jade gives that power back: what to read, when to read it, and what to leave for later.
How it works
Drop any YouTube video link into Jade. No account needed, no complicated setup.
Jade reads every comment and organizes them by intent, instantly.
Browse by category, read summaries, or decide not to open a section at all. You stay in control.

Positive engagement · Summary
Your audience responded warmly to the personal tone of this video. Many mentioned feeling seen and appreciated the honesty.
Technology has enormous potential to improve people's lives. At its best, it reduces friction, surfaces what matters, and helps people feel more connected to the things they care about.
But many modern products are no longer designed around human wellbeing. They're designed around attention, engagement, and extraction. The result is technology that often overwhelms the very people it's supposed to serve.
Human First Studios exists as a response to that direction.
Every product starts with a simple question: Does this genuinely help the person using it?
That philosophy shapes more than features or design decisions. It influences how products are built, what data is collected, how systems are optimized, and where boundaries are intentionally kept.
Optimization itself isn't the problem. Personalization isn't the problem. Data isn't the problem. Used responsibly, those tools can make products more useful, relevant, and supportive.
The problem is forgetting the human being on the other side of the screen.
Human First Studios is committed to building technology that respects attention instead of exploiting it, supports people instead of manipulating them, and stays honest about the tradeoffs that come with building modern software.
Jade is the first step in that vision.
