Turn your YouTube Watch Later pile into a learning site

How this helps you

You learn from the videos you saved without watching all of them, and you know which ones are worth the full watch.

✦ Try it

Open my YouTube Watch Later list. For each video, read the full transcript and write: a 3 sentence summary, the key steps with timestamps, one action to take, a short quiz of [number] questions, and a verdict: watch in full or skim. Then build a searchable page with one card per video and a link back to YouTube. Don't remove anything from my list.

Fill in: [number] is how many quiz questions you want per video, such as 3.

What they did

Parker Prompts had a Watch Later list too long to ever get through. He created a new Bot, took over its computer and signed into his YouTube account in its browser, then pasted a prompt telling it to go through his Watch Later list, read the full transcript of each video, and write a summary, the key timestamps, a short quiz and a verdict on whether to watch the whole thing. A coding agent then turned it into a learning site. The result was a searchable dashboard with a card per video labelled watch or skim, the key steps with timestamps, one action to take, flashcards, and a button to the original video.

Who it's for: Learners with a long Watch Later list, and teams that share training videos.

Before you start

A YouTube account with a Watch Later list.
Willingness to sign into YouTube in your Bot's browser (all your Bots share that computer).

How to try it

Create a Bot for this job, open its computer, take control and sign into YouTube yourself.
Hand control back and paste the prompt below.
Check the first few summaries against videos you know.
Ask for the learning site (or a Page) once the notes look right (we haven't verified the Page option for this).
Ask it to update the site when you add videos, rather than rebuilding everything.

What to expect

A page of cards, each labelled Watch or Skim, opening to a summary, timestamped steps, one action and flashcards.

Common mistakes

Typing your YouTube password into chat. Sign in yourself by taking over the Bot's computer.
Forgetting the sign-in is shared. Every Bot on that computer can use the logged-in YouTube session.
Running it on hundreds of videos at once. Start with ten and check the summaries.
