The task

Project requirements.

Video knowledge is easier to reuse once it is turned into a searchable, cited notebook.

The outcome

How it was built.

Independent product development from an existing personal captions-first pipeline: interface design, a bounded captions engine, a persisted service, evidence retrieval, and portable export and verification, by Imad A. Adel.

Inside Knowhow

From input to output.

01

Channel review

Reviews three fixed six-video channel packages and builds a topic notebook from their captions.

02

Cited answers

Answers questions with cited, timestamped source evidence rather than free generation.

03

Topic filters

Narrows conversation with topic filters; downloads always retain all six sources in a package.

04

Portable export

Exports a portable skill and reference package.

05

Example search

Searches 74 reviewed excerpts across its real-examples collection.

The public version is limited to three fixed six-video channel packages; new-channel ingestion, source changes and update checks are not available here. Retrieval is conservative and lexical, so paraphrases and steps the speaker never states aloud can be missed. Captions are the only input — optional uploads and frame processing are not configured — and update checks are manual, with no scheduler or notifications.
