Transcript Intelligence

Transcript Intelligence

Overview

Turn public video transcripts into useful research and content assets. This skill is for extracting signal from spoken social video: hooks, claims, stories, objections, examples, CTAs, and reusable content angles.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• summarize a video, reel, short, TikTok, podcast clip, or social video
• analyze a creator's hooks or speaking style
• extract quotes, claims, examples, and CTAs from transcripts
• turn transcripts into social posts, scripts, newsletters, or content ideas
• compare what multiple creators say about a topic

Transcript Sources

If a detail endpoint already includes transcript text, use it. If transcript is unavailable, say so and fall back to title/caption/description only.

Workflow

1. Collect URLs or discover videos

   • If URLs are provided, fetch each transcript directly.
   • If a creator/channel is provided, first fetch recent posts/videos, then choose relevant videos.

2. Extract transcript text

   • Preserve timestamps if provided.
   • Keep source URL with each transcript.
   • Do not hallucinate missing captions.

3. Segment the transcript Break into:

   • hook/opening
   • setup/context
   • main claim or lesson
   • evidence/examples
   • payoff
   • CTA

4. Analyze the content Extract:

   • exact hooks
   • claims and contrarian takes
   • stories
   • frameworks
   • objections addressed
   • emotional language
   • quotable lines
   • content atoms that stand alone

5. Synthesize across multiple transcripts

   • Cluster by topic and angle.
   • Count recurring themes.
   • Identify repeated hook formulas.
   • Flag the strongest examples with citations.

Common Pitfalls

• Do not summarize from the title alone if the user asked for transcript analysis. Fetch transcripts first.
• Do not lose exact wording. Hooks and quotes are more valuable verbatim.
• Do not treat AI-generated transcript text as perfect. If wording seems garbled, mark it as approximate.
• Do not mix source attribution. Every quote should trace back to a URL.
