ConceptSeek

What is ConceptSeek?

ConceptSeek is a semantic search tool that helps you find ideas across YouTube videos, podcasts, lectures, PDFs, and text notes. Instead of matching exact keywords, ConceptSeek understands the meaning behind your question and surfaces the right passages, timestamps, and citations grounded in your own chosen sources.

Top Features:

• Concept-based search: finds ideas by meaning, not literal keyword matches across media.
• Library organization: group sources into focused libraries to control search scope precisely.
• Exact timestamps: jumps directly to video moments or transcript passages in original sources.
• Grounded synthesis: produces short summaries tied to verifiable passages from selected materials.
• Multi-format support: works with YouTube, podcasts, lectures, PDFs, and plain text notes.

Use Cases:

• Academic research: locate arguments across hours of lectures, interviews, and long-form papers.
• Content creation: pull quotes and clips from videos to build well-sourced essays or scripts.
• Self-learning: search personal YouTube libraries for explanations of tricky concepts.
