This is a series where I'll break it down for you in bite-sized bits - how I'm incorporating AI workflows into my daily life and work. And I'll show you how you can do it too.
Featured tools: PaperTube | Tactiq | Claude
With the rise in popularity & quality of video content, there's a wealth of knowledge out there on YouTube. But unlike text, you can't simply skim through a video to quickly extract what you need.
If you want to learn a new subject or do content research, you have to spend a ridiculous amount of time filtering through the "ok" stuff to get to the real gems.
That is where I found I spent the most time when I do content research, so I want to cut down the time.
And I've found two killer AI workflow hacks that work well.
Tactiq + Claude
- Enter any YouTube URL into Tactiq.io to instantly generate a transcript.
- Copy the transcript, paste it into Claude, and ask for a concise summary highlighting the main topics and key takeaways (example Claude prompt below).
- Then work with Claude to break down the content further so you can quickly dive into the most relevant sections.
Papertube
If you prefer to consume information through reading - try Papertube.
Not only does it give you the transcript and audio file for any YouTube video, but it also converts the content into Kindle e-books you can read through a collection of them on the go!
A little preview - for the next post in this series, I will show you why I think Claude is a superior tool to ChatGPT for writing like a "normal person".
