Inspiration

Have you ever seen those CS50 lectures from Harvard but could never find time to comprehend them? BrainClipper shortens the videos into the parts with the most important information through semantic analysis, cutting out stuttering and repetition.

What it does

Youtube URL -> a bundle of scrollable short videos

Challenges we ran into

Youtube video downloading is kinda difficult with the newest "anti-bot" terms...

Accomplishments that we're proud of

the project is fully vibecoded

What we learned

What's next for BrainClipper

It is quite conveniently monetizable with the average cost per 10 minute video being 0.01 USD. (Claude)
