If learning and entertainment are what you are looking for, it’s a go to platform which you’ll find. There are millions of videos on every subject you can imagine, and it’s overwhelming to know where to start. Not all of it is in Spanish anyway. Luckily, Google’s new AI, Gemini, makes it so that any YouTube video can be summarized for you.
All of this smartness and relevancy is provided by Google’s Gemini, a very advanced AI model connected to the internet, one of many around the world. Another great feature about this is that it comes up with up to three possible answers at once so it leaves you with the one that best suites your needs. Gemini can now summarize YouTube videos—even if they’re in any other language.
Gemini is able to summarize YouTube videos in seconds.
I try to watch at least one educational video per day; science is my favourite one. In truth, when it comes to Spanish-language content, there are some very limited options. It’s hard to find engaging, educational channels in Spanish, except with creators like Javi Santaolalla and José Luis Crespo.
Therefore I just get hooked on watching videos in English and they have subtitles. Not every video I posted there would explain things in a way I liked or in the way I expected. With Gemini, I don’t even need to watch the video, I get a quick summary and can avoid wasting time on irrelevant content.
It’s simple to use: just type ‘Give me a summary of this video’ into Gemini, paste the YouTube link, and you’ll get a summary in seconds. The video will cover the topic, no matter the language.
A Smarter Way to Learn
Suppose that you were searching for a tutorial on how to fish for salmon, but ended up watching a video that didn’t talk about salmon fishing at all. Gemini’s summary feature will save you a lot of time because you’ll be able to know within a few seconds if this is something you should watch—or if you should continue looking.
The summaries aren’t detailed explanations, but they save time, since you can skip through content without reading. But Gemini can do more. You can tell it to extract the important bits (or recommend related ones) if you liked a video.
I also tried this feature out by asking for recommendations around a quantum computing video. Gemini recommended five more videos from QuantumFracture and Derivando, both of whom I already follow. Anyone looking to go a little deeper in a particular subject will be a game changer.
Gemini is a amazing tool that removes the guess work out of looking up videos on Youtube or learning something new, it’s just a powerful tool.
