How are you actually using AI to learn from YouTube? (drop your workflow)

by

One thing building EnBref taught me: people use YouTube summaries in ways I never designed for.

A few that genuinely surprised me:

  • Students dropping a 2 hour lecture in and quizzing it like a study buddy

  • Devs pulling just the setup steps out of a 40 min tutorial

  • Founders screening 10 strategy videos in the time one used to take

  • A bunch of people with ADHD telling me the chat keeps them engaged where the raw video totally lost them

So I figured I'd just flip the question to this community.

What does your "learn from YouTube" workflow actually look like right now?

  • Are you watching at 2x, reading transcripts, taking notes, summarizing, chatting with the video?

  • What kind of content do you most wish you could just skim instead of watch end to end?

  • If you've tried summarizing videos before, what made you keep doing it, or quit?

I'll read every single reply (and yes, probably steal the best ideas for the roadmap).

Honestly curious how different this looks between students, builders, and just curious generalists.
