The video you keep meaning to watch, distilled into notes
Paste a YouTube link and your assistant does the watching for you: it pulls the talk, writes a clean transcript, and hands you the key points as notes you can search later. Point it at a whole channel and it works through the backlog.
What it does
- Takes a single video link or a channel and gathers the talks worth keeping.
- Writes a clean, timestamped transcript for each one.
- Pulls out the key points: the main arguments, the memorable lines, the people and companies named.
- Saves everything to your library, so a talk you watched once stays findable by what it was actually about.
The reveal
Someone sends you a 90 minute interview “you have to watch.” You paste the link. A few minutes later there is a transcript and a page of key points in your library, the best quotes already pulled. You got the substance without losing the evening.
What it doesn’t do
- It cannot always reach every video. Some are locked down hard, and when a talk simply cannot be fetched it tells you rather than inventing notes.
- It is for keeping notes for yourself, not for republishing anyone’s video.
Configuration
- A transcription key: the spoken audio is transcribed through a service (AssemblyAI). You add your key once in Settings.
- What to ingest: a single video link, or a channel to work through.
- Where notes live: everything is saved to your library, organized by source.
Triggers
Runs on demand: paste a link and ask for notes. Point it at a channel to work through several at once.
