# YouTube - Transcript Extraction & Content Reformatting

Hand over a video link, get back something you can read or publish

## What this does

Someone sent you a video and you would rather read it, or write something from it. Give it the link and it takes the transcript with its timestamps, then turns it into whatever shape you need: a summary, a chapter outline, a thread, a blog post, or just the good quotes. Handy when a video holds something you want in text.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Summarise a video instead of watching it
- Get a timestamped transcript from a video link
- Turn a talk into a blog post or a thread

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About YouTube - Transcript Extraction & Content Reformatting

Give it a YouTube video URL and it opens the video's transcript panel and pulls out all the timestamped segments.

From there it reshapes the raw transcript into whatever you actually want: a summary, a chapter outline, a Twitter/X thread, a blog post or article, or a set of notable quotes.

It fits any moment where a video link arrives and text is what you need - captions, a plain transcript, a written version to read, or structured output you can build on.
