The problem it solves

Watching a long YouTube video just to pull out the key points wastes time you don't have, especially when you're trying to research on the go. Copying links, opening a browser, and taking notes by hand breaks your workflow.

Who it fits

Anyone who needs quick video takeaways on the go, from researchers to busy managers.

How it works

  1. A YouTube link is sent through a web form, WhatsApp, or Telegram message
  2. AI watches or reads the video content and produces a summary or full transcript in English
  3. The result is sent back on the same channel the request came from
  4. The summary can also be logged to Google Sheets for future reference
What you get

Video takeaways without watching the whole thing

You get a quick summary or transcript of any YouTube video, sent right back to WhatsApp or Telegram.

What you get

An English summary or transcript of the video, delivered on WhatsApp, Telegram, or saved to a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google AI (Gemini) account, a WhatsApp Business API account, a Telegram bot, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
