FAQ

FAQ

You provide a YouTube video ID and a prompt type. The AI agent fetches video metadata and transcripts, prepares the chosen prompt, and runs Gemini AI to generate outputs. Outputs are saved to Google Drive and can be emailed via Gmail or made available in a completion form. The process is automatic, but you can re-run with a different prompt to compare results.

Yes. You can modify the metadata fields extracted, choose among six prompt types, and adjust the output format (bullets, structured notes, or plain text). The AI agent can store the resulting files in Drive or share via Gmail, and you can re-run with updated prompts. Customization supports evolving content strategies.

The available prompts include Default (actionable insights), Transcribe (verbatim transcript), Timestamps (timestamped dialogue), Summary (concise bullets), Scene (visual descriptions), and Clips (high-engagement segments). Each prompt tailors the output to a specific use case, and you can switch prompts between videos as needed.

Data privacy depends on your Google account permissions and the APIs you authorize. The AI agent only accesses data necessary for the video analysis tasks and stores outputs in Drive. You can revoke access at any time and inspect outputs in their stored location. For sensitive projects, consider restricting Drive sharing and Gmail distribution to approved recipients.

Yes. The AI agent can be extended to push outputs to Notion pages or Slack channels using your existing automation setup. You can also adapt the delivery method to your workflow, but initial integrations focus on Drive and Gmail for simplicity and reliability.

The AI agent is designed to process typical-length YouTube videos quickly, but extremely long videos may require segmented analysis or multiple runs. You can start with shorter segments to validate outputs and then run in batch mode. Performance depends on API quotas and prompt complexity.

Gemini is the primary model used to generate outputs, but you can substitute compatible models in your environment if needed. The architecture supports fallback options and customization. If Gemini is unavailable, outputs may be delayed or less detailed, but the workflow remains executable with a different model.
