How It Works

1. Input or Trigger — The user initiates engagement prediction from the Appilot dashboard, selecting channels and videos for analysis.
2. Core Logic — Appilot gathers YouTube analytics data via UI Automator or ADB, then feeds it to the ML model for prediction.
3. Output or Action — The system produces predicted engagement reports (views, comments, likes) for future uploads.
4. Other Functionalities — Retry logic, logging, and auto-updates ensure data consistency and continuous accuracy improvement.
