Tips for asking questions

  • Be Specific: The more specific your question, the more accurate the AI's response will be. Mention particular segments or topics if possible.

  • One Question at a Time: For the best results, ask one question at a time. This ensures each answer is as accurate and relevant as possible.

  • Use Keywords: Include key terms or phrases mentioned in the video to help the AI understand the context of your question better.

Examples:

  • "What were the main objectives of the project (insert project name)?"

  • "Can you explain the term 'blockchain' as used in the video?"

  • "What were the conclusions drawn about the analysis presented?"

Limitations:

The accuracy of the AI's responses depends on the clarity of the video's transcript and the specificity of your questions. It may not always provide perfect answers, especially for very complex or nuanced inquiries.

Ask me anything feature generates answers based on the transcript, and therefore it will be only available for videos with transcript.
