## Transcript
The idea is simple: your brain is for having ideas, not holding them.The same AI-ready Markdown. Claude's long context comfortably takes a combined file of dozens of videos, and because each transcript carries its source URL, the answers can cite the exact video. Or skip the file entirely and connect the MCP server so Claude fetches transcripts itself.
Who this format is for
Mostly Claude 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.
