How to use AI YouTube summarizer in AFFiNE

  2. 2

    Ask for structure before polish

    Generate video summaries, timestamped notes, action items, and reusable learning cards with clear sections, reasoning, and next steps instead of a one-line answer that is hard to verify.

    Keep the AI YouTube summarizer result as editable AFFiNE blocks, link it to related notes, and revise it as your understanding changes.
