Description
Turn a long video into an article you can finish reading. Just paste a YouTube link. If you don’t have one, tell it who or what you want to watch—such as a person, show, or topic—and it will find several videos for you to choose from. The article explains the video’s key points and context, preserves memorable quotes, and can include images after it’s written.

Video to Xiaohongshu/WeChat
Turn content from YouTube, X (Twitter), podcasts, and other sources into high-performing articles for Xiaohongshu and WeChat Official Accounts. You can provide video links, subtitles, timestamped transcripts, post threads, article text, screenshots, summaries, or background materials. The skill extracts viewpoints, methods, tools, prompts, examples, and practical details, then reorganizes them in natural, accessible Chinese rather than translating line by line or simply republishing the source. Each draft is developed independently based on the platform: the Xiaohongshu version focuses on the long-form reading experience, practical value, titles, and hashtags; the WeChat Official Account version provides a more complete article structure, summary, source notes, and questions for reader interaction. The articles do more than explain what the author said: they distinguish facts, opinions, and information that still needs verification; analyze what is worth referencing in a Chinese-language context; and explain how to start applying the ideas, along with boundaries such as cost, permissions, privacy, timeliness, and scope of use. When source material is incomplete or a link cannot be read reliably, the analysis scope is clearly labeled, with prompts to provide subtitles or a transcript and to verify the content before publishing—helping avoid fabricated details and unverified claims.
Research
Spark | YouTube Researcher
Planning a video but unsure how others have already covered the topic? “Spark | YouTube Researcher” conducts real research on YouTube: finding relevant videos, reading subtitles, breaking down titles and the first 30 seconds, reconstructing content structures, and comparing multiple samples to identify recurring approaches, clear differences, and gaps that no one has addressed well. You can use it to: Research which approaches are repeatedly used for a topic; Deep-dive into how a specific video delivers its message; Scan a channel’s topics, titles, and content patterns; Break down the first 30-second Hook and the full video structure; Find new creative angles in existing videos; Research how your own finished video should be repackaged. It will not declare that a title “definitely works” simply because one video has high views. When subtitles, timestamps, or performance data are unavailable, it will clearly identify what evidence is missing. What you get is not a collection of video summaries, but a YouTube research brief that can be handed directly to the next step of topic development, Hook creation, or scriptwriting. Ideal for YouTube creators, video planners, social media operators, and anyone who wants to see how far others have taken a topic before starting to film.
Research
Spark | Video Hook Analyzer
When preparing to make a video, we often run into the same problem: you can clearly see that a reference video “knows how to tell a story,” but when it’s your turn to create, you can only imitate it by feel. 「Spark | Video Hook Analyzer」is designed for this step. Give it a specific YouTube video. It first verifies the video and reads captions that can be checked, then separates three things that are easy to conflate: Literal 30s: What actually happens from 0:00–0:30. Intro: The entire opening before the main content begins. Hook / Re-hook: One or more structural beats that genuinely work to keep viewers watching. So it won’t force the first 30 seconds of every video to be interpreted as the Hook just because “everyone says the first 30 seconds matter most.” If the real Hook comes after the one-minute mark, it will tell you plainly. If the captions or timestamps are insufficient, it will clearly identify the evidence gap instead of filling it with an answer that merely looks professional. After breaking down the opening, it continues by using an outline to reconstruct the structure of the full video: Does it move forward through a timeline, experiment, process, comparison, story, chain of questions, or another organizing device? Finally, it abstracts these structures into [slots] templates. The templates preserve the sequence and function of the structure—not the original creator’s experiences, wording, brand, numbers, opinions, or authority. What you ultimately get is not a video summary, but a Hook Outline + full-video structure template that can be handed off to the next stage of creation. What it does not do: It does not write the final new Hook for you; score or rewrite your opening with BRENS; search the entire niche or channel at scale; generate a complete script; or generate diagrams, assets, animations, or thumbnails. Finding reference samples at scale belongs to the upstream 「Spark | YouTube Content Researcher」; refining your own Hook belongs to the corresponding follow-up Skill.
