Ever wished you could skip to the best parts of a YouTube video without wasting time? This is your shortcut!
🚀 Why This Matters:
We’ve all been there: stuck watching a 30-minute video for a 2-minute nugget of wisdom. This technique uses AI to pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for in seconds.
🧠 The Magic of Embeddings:
- Think of embeddings as secret codes for words. 🔐 AI analyzes the words in the video transcript and your search query, turning them into these codes.
- Similar concepts, closer codes. Words like “cat” and “kitten” will have similar codes, while “cat” and “tractor” will be far apart.
- Matching codes, matching moments. 🎯 By comparing these codes, the AI finds the parts of the video most closely related to your search.
Example:
Searching for “Gutenberg” in a video about books will highlight moments where the Gutenberg press or Project Gutenberg are discussed.
💡Pro Tip: Use specific keywords for the most accurate results.
🤖 How It Works: A Simple Breakdown
- Transcript Extraction: The AI grabs the transcript from the YouTube video.
- Embedding Creation: Each chunk of the transcript is converted into an embedding.
- Your Search, Encoded: Your search query is also transformed into an embedding.
- Finding the Match: The AI compares your query embedding to the transcript embeddings. The closer the match, the more relevant the video segment.
- Jump to the Action! You’re presented with timestamps and snippets of the most relevant moments, ready for you to explore.
🤯 Fun Fact: This technique utilizes the power of large language models, the same technology behind ChatGPT!
