Pro Tips & Best Practices

For Conference Analysis

  • Get statistics: "What growth numbers were mentioned?"

For Educational Content

  • Request summaries: "What are the main learning objectives?"

  • Ask for examples: "Can you give me practical applications?"

  • Get action items: "What should I implement first?"

For Research

  • Extract methodology: "How was this study conducted?"

  • Get conclusions: "What were the key findings?"

  • Find limitations: "What are the study limitations?"

Performance Optimization

  • Shorter videos (< 30 minutes) analyze faster
