1. Copy paste the YouTube URL into Audionotes

2. Click content → blog

You can create your own prompt for the AI to get the content in a format that works best for you to learn. Or you can summarize it as “structured summary” for point form notes.

You can ask it to explain it to you using Gen Z terms 😂 

If you do that, please send me the results, I’m sure it’ll be hilarious.

3. Let the YouTube video run in the background (muted)
