Ask Claude about a YouTube video

Updated Part of YouTube to ChatGPT

Copy the video's transcript on WithTranscript and paste it into Claude. Anthropic describes Claude's web search as reading articles and web pages; it doesn't list videos, so the transcript is how Claude gets what was said. Part of giving a YouTube video to an AI assistant.

Steps

  1. Paste the YouTube link into WithTranscript (the box above works).
  2. Press Copy transcript above the transcript. On a phone it's in the ⋯ menu.
  3. Paste it into the assistant and ask your question.

Make it a file

For a long transcript, or one you'll come back to, save withtranscript.ai/video/<id>/transcript.md as a file and attach it instead of pasting. In a Claude Project, add it to the project's knowledge so every chat in the project can use it. More on the transcript.md link.

A first prompt

This is a transcript of a YouTube video, with [m:ss]
timestamps. List the claims the speaker makes that I could
check, each with its timestamp.
