What This Skill Does

The ai-notes-ofvideo skill acts as a powerful synthesis engine for multimedia content. By leveraging Baidu AI, it automates the tedious process of manual transcription and summarization. The skill enables users to transform long video URLs into structured, digestible note formats including documents, outlines, or rich graphic-text summaries. The workflow is designed for efficiency, utilizing an asynchronous task-based architecture where users create a task and either manually poll or utilize the included auto-polling mechanism to receive final output once processing reaches completion. It supports a variety of video sources and formats, making it an essential utility for researchers, students, and content creators looking to maximize productivity.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw terminal command provided below. This command fetches the necessary scripts and dependencies from the official OpenClaw repository:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ide-rea/ai-notes-ofvideo

Ensure you have Python 3 installed on your system, as the provided utility scripts utilize standard Python libraries to interact with the Baidu AI API endpoints.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for professional and educational environments. Use it to generate study guides from complex lecture videos, extract key action items from lengthy corporate webinars, or create detailed documentation from video tutorials. It is particularly useful for teams that maintain a repository of video documentation, as it allows for the rapid creation of searchable, text-based summaries that are significantly easier to index than raw video files. Researchers can also use this to perform initial analysis on large datasets of public video content.

Example Prompts

1. "Generate a detailed outline for the video at https://example.com/lecture-on-ai-ethics.mp4 using the outline note type."
2. "Create a structured document summary for this video: [insert link here]."
3. "Convert the following video URL into a graphic-text note format: [insert link here]."

Tips & Limitations

• Polling Strategy: Always prefer the auto-polling script (ai_notes_poll.py) over manual polling to ensure consistent status checks without saturating the API rate limits.
• Video Length: Extremely long videos may trigger a timeout. If you encounter a 'Video too long' error, consider splitting the video if possible or trying during off-peak hours.
• Format Selection: Use note type 1 (document) for long-form content, type 2 (outline) for quick review, and type 3 (graphic-text) for visual-heavy content.
• Accessibility: Ensure the provided URL is publicly accessible, as private or password-protected video links will result in an 'Inaccessible' error.
