When To Use

I use this the most when considering watching a YouTube video that's more story-based to see if they share any new ideas.

If I head to a YouTube video, I can go to these 3 dots, and show the transcript to copy the content.

Prompt

ChatGPT

Provide a very detailed and complete summary of the content below as a list of key takeaways. Format the list with dashes.

{content}

Readwise Reader

Instead of ChatGPT, I personally use Readwise Reader, an app I use to consume all written content. It has a better option for long-form content since it will use the key parts of the text if it exceeds the max input limit. If you want to learn more, you can check out my video on the app.

So, we can save any video's transcript using the Readwise Reader Chrome extension by clicking on the icon.

You can use this prompt to do so, which I found on the Readwise discord.

Provide a very detailed and complete summary of the document below entitled "{{ document.title }}" as a list of key takeaways. Format the list with dashes. The title of the list should be "Key Takeaways:":  
  
"""  
{% if (document.content | count_tokens) > 1000 %}  
{{ document.content | central_sentences | join('\\n\\n') }}  
{% else %}  
{{ document.content }}  
{% endif %}  
"""
