Saving Your First Content

Building your knowledge corpus starts with saving content. Here's how to get started.

Method 1: Chrome Extension (Recommended)

1. Navigate to any YouTube video or web article
2. Click the BrainTube extension icon
3. Click "Save to BrainTube"
4. The content will appear in your Library within seconds

Method 2: Paste a URL

1. Go to your Library in BrainTube
2. Click the "Add Content" button
3. Paste any YouTube or web URL
4. BrainTube will automatically fetch and process the content

Method 3: Import from Notion

1. Go to Knowledge Hub → Connected Sources
2. Connect your Notion workspace
3. Select pages to import — they'll be synced automatically

What Happens After Saving

When you save content, BrainTube's enrichment pipeline automatically:

1. Extracts the transcript (for videos) or article text (for web pages)
2. Generates a summary using AI
3. Identifies key entities — people, concepts, tools, organizations
4. Creates embeddings for semantic search
5. Discovers connections to your existing content
6. Assigns topic clusters and links to relevant Second Brains

This process takes 30-60 seconds. You can watch the progress on the item's detail page.
