Turn this video or lecture into structured notes

Minda gets the transcript of a video or lecture and turns it into study notes with an outline, key terms and review questions. It is a ready-made task for the SI agent in Minda Super Intelligence. It runs when you start it. It works with YouTube and Google Docs.

What you get

  • Notes you can study from The notes have a 5-line summary, an outline with headings and time stamps, key terms with plain definitions and worked examples.

  • Review questions with answers You get review questions with the answers at the end, and the 3 ideas most likely to be on a test.

  • Only what the speaker says Anything Minda adds is marked as background with '(added)', and formulas and numbers stay exactly as stated.

  • Gaps are named If the transcript is missing or garbled for a part, Minda says which minutes.

Why use this?

Minda starts from the full transcript, so the notes follow what the speaker said. The outline carries time stamps, and anything Minda adds is marked as background. If the transcript is missing or garbled for a part, it says which minutes.

Frequently asked questions

What can I give it?

A video or lecture link, or the tab you have open. Minda gets the full transcript first and writes the notes from it.

Does it add anything the speaker did not say?

Only when marked. Anything Minda adds is labeled '(added)' as background, so you can tell it from the lecture.

What if the transcript has gaps?

Minda says which minutes are missing or garbled instead of guessing what was said.

Where are the notes saved?

As a note with the title you choose, or as a Word document if you ask.

Does it change formulas and numbers?

No. Formulas and numbers stay exactly as the speaker stated them.
