## Transcript
The idea is simple: your brain is for having ideas, not holding them.Clean Markdown with an explicit metadata block and no timestamps, so the tokens go to content. Paste it into a chat or attach the file; for a whole channel, use the combined document and ask questions across every video at once.
Who this format is for
Mostly ChatGPT users. If you need something else, every other format is one click away — you never have to re-extract, because transcripts are cached in your library and can be exported again in any format.
