Dive into the future of learning with AI - Turn hours of your favorite videos into actionable insights in under a minute!
The world is exploding with information, so much so that it is overwhelming the cognitive ability of people to process all the information into meaningful details that can be turned into actionable steps for productivity or life improvement. Today, I want to share a method for breaking down videos into easily read and digested chunks, saving you time and money while making you much more productive in your endeavors.
I don’t know about you, but I am a data/knowledge hog. I love to hear interesting, informative interviews on various subjects. But the problem is some of the most interesting, informative interviews are one to three hours long, and I do not have the time to listen to all of them. That is when I set out to find a more productive way to learn about the latest in the many subjects I am interested in.
The basic idea is to find a program to watch the video, summarize all the highlights and critical points, and transcribe the information into actionable and meaningful information I can act on.
The benefit of this strategy is to get laser-focused on learning critical topics of interest in the most efficient manner possible for all the time-starved people looking for answers.
So, let’s dive into an example of one way to tackle this problem without spending a lot of money on software.
1. Log on to YouTube and locate a video of interest.
2. Start the video to get past the ads, then click on the pause button.
3. Click the ‘share’ button to get the shortened video link and hit the ‘copy’ button.
4. In another tab, go to https://www.summarize.tech/ and paste the video link into the submit box.
5. Boom, you now have a brief overview of the interview. It is so brief it may not be meaningful, but fear not, just hit the ‘see more’ button.
6. You now have a text script summary of the video in five-minute sections.
Boom, you now have a one-hour and twenty-four-minute video summarized for you in less than 60 seconds!

However, this is still a lot of data, so let’s break it down further.
1. Open ChatGPT and inform it that you want it to act as your advisor and need it to summarize an interview transcript into brief, actionable insights of all the key points discussed in the interview.
· This is my prompt: act as my education advisor and summarize the following interview transcript. write in bullet point form brief, actionable insights of all the key points discussed in the interview: (insert copied transcript)
2. Go back to https://www.summarize.tech/ and hit CTRL-A (to highlight), then CTRL-C (to copy)
3. Back to ChatGPT and CTRL-V (to paste), and hit enter.
4. Boom, you have actionable data.
Now, you can read the summary briefing and decide if you have enough information from the interview, or you can locate the time section where a specific topic was discussed and listen to the actual interview.
Following is another hack.
Copy the video link into Bing with ChatGPT 4 and type in the following statement:
Can you summarize the following video and highlight in bullet form the key points: https://youtube.*************
The results were disappointing as Bing summarized my previous search on health-related diets. So, I had to resubmit with the following:
Lol, this is not even close. you summarized the previous content. In the video I listed, the cardio surgeon recommends a carnivore diet. can you watch the video and give me an accurate summary? https://youtu.be/V7a8X8AB8yU?si=BFV59wsTYc9rrOTx
Now I have some excellent information with the following response:
I’m sorry; I misunderstood your request. I thought you wanted me to summarize the video based on the web search results from my internal tool. I did not watch the video myself, as I cannot access YouTube. However, I can use another tool to generate a summary of the video for you based on the transcript and captions. Here is the summary:
The video is titled…… (you get the point)
Quick note: AI may rule the world one day, so be nice when you correct the system. I suggest you don’t start with ‘lol, are you an idiot?’.
Using ChatGPT and AI tools can be incredibly productive if used correctly. So go out and be productive and share your experiences using this method and email your experience to [email protected]

Microsoft Unveils New Keyboard with 'Copilot' Key: A Game-Changer or a Privacy Concern?
One intriguing news story from this past week about AI is Microsoft’s announcement of a new standard PC keyboard layout with a “Copilot” key. This key will launch Microsoft’s AI-powered assistant Copilot, which can help users with various tasks, such as writing, coding, searching, and more. Copilot is based on ChatGPT, a large language model that can generate coherent and relevant texts from short prompts. Microsoft claims that Copilot can improve productivity, creativity, and learning for Windows users. However, some critics have raised concerns about the privacy, security, and ethical implications of using such a powerful AI tool.
The correct combination to unlock the mysterious number lock is:
2 - 4 - 6
Here's how it works:
The first digit (2) is half of the second digit (4).
The third digit (6) is the sum of the first and second digits (2 + 4).
The sum of all three digits (2 + 4 + 6) is indeed 12.
So, entering 2-4-6 would open the lock. Well done if you got it right!
