Case Studies
I wanted to learn about artificial intelligence on Youtube, so I tested Notclass by entering the query “How to get started with AI?” on the website.
After hitting the “Search” button, Notclass generated a list of relevant YouTube videos, including lectures from Andrew Ng and Google’s AI course for beginners.
I selected the first video listed, “Andrew Ng: Deep Learning, Education, and Real-World AI.” The right window then displayed AI-edited and selected video clips related to my search. I quickly watched these focused clips, gaining insights from the lecture efficiently.
Below the video, I found a text transcription of these clips. I clicked the “Expand” button to view the full transcription, which further aided my understanding. Notclass effectively distilled lengthy content into concise, digestible segments, saving me time.
