YouTube knowledge engine

Auto-watch + extract insights from a curated YouTube channel list.

What it does

Subscribes to a list of YouTube channels (creators, competitors, industry experts). When new videos drop, transcribes them, extracts insights against a question framework, and updates a structured knowledge base. Notifies on new high-signal content.

Inputs
Channel watch list. Question framework (what insights matter for your brand). Notification preferences.
Outputs
Per-video Markdown insight summary. Cross-video synthesis weekly. Knowledge base updates auto-published to Notion/Obsidian.
Cost per run
~$0.30 per video (transcription + extraction + structured update).
Models used
Whisper for transcription. Claude Sonnet for insight extraction. Embedding-based deduplication.

Best for

Knowledge-heavy industries (B2B SaaS, agencies, consulting). Founders who used to feel guilty about not watching enough industry video content.

Not for

Industries where the public YouTube content density is low.

Common questions

Can it watch private content (course videos I bought)?
Only if you give it your authenticated access. We do not bypass DRM — you must legitimately have access.
