Transcripts

Google bard just released one of the

best updates so far and that's the

ability for Bard to actually understand

the content and the visuals inside of a

YouTube video now most of us don't use

Bard anywhere near the amount of time we

spend on chat GPT but this new update is

going to be really useful if you rely on

a lot of information through YouTube

videos like this one and I use plugins

right now inside of chat GPT this works

a whole lot better okay so to access

Bard go to b.google.r

update section which I wish all the

different AI tools had this gives you a

full layout of all the updates they

always roll out the newest one expanding

Bard's understanding of YouTube videos

and this is not just pulling the

captions from the YouTube video I ask a

questions about what's visually included

in the video where the caption has no

idea about and actually did a good job

I'm going to share 10 different prompts

for you to interact with YouTube videos

that I found most useful as we go

through this video with some examples so

says we're taking the first step step

for Bard's ability to understand YouTube

videos the first thing you want to do

even though Bard does have the ability

to see YouTube videos to some extent it

really does it mostly through this

extension so if you click this

extensions there's a bunch of different

extensions well five right now but you

want to make sure the YouTube extension

is definitely turned on so go ahead and

turn this to blue and then let me go

ahead and start a new chat here with

Bard and basically this is how it works

let's say I want to make a Thanksgiving

turkey so I said give me a recipe for a

Thanksgiving turkey which is going to

give me in text but I'm going to say

show me a video so it actually goes to

YouTube That's the default so when I say

show me a video it only searches YouTube

through that extension here are recipe

videos and it's going to pull up bunch

of different videos here typically I

think it pulls five videos based on my

experience with the search results so

let's say I like this video here or I

like the second video let's say I could

go over here and say give me the recipe

for video 2 and basically he knew what

video 2 was from the five he gave me and

he went through it and I checked this

multiple times before recording this

video and it was accurate every time I

tried it so you pulled the ingredients

here you pull the instructions here and

you pulled the tips here from the video

and this is the video video number two

from that list and then you could follow

up maybe the cooking time or whatever

else you need to know about this you

could have a bunch of different

conversations with it with this video

but let me show you some examples here

with prompts that dig into the visuals

of the video too this one was one of my

favorite prompts that's says can you

describe the overall tone and style of

the video is it informative entertaining

and persuasive typically this kind of

helps you figure out a video maybe you

don't want to commit the time to watch a

20-minute video you could kind of get

ideas about what the video is all about

just asking questions like this let me

pull up a different video and I'm going

to ask some other questions related to

the visuals too okay this time I said

how do I use Google Drive show me a

video because I know I've made a video

this one actually it's a video I've made

in the past so let me go down this one

so I'm going to ask you questions about

this video since I understand the

content of this video I could quickly

make sure it's actually accurate so

right now set for the hity video which

is mine what's the key points and the

insights that were discussed in the

video and it did a good job what is

Google Drive so it basically broke down

all the different sections I have in the

video what are the some of the key

points it gave me kind of a bullet point

list of the key points again very

accurate based on this video now for

this next prompt let me show you this

example I said give me a video about

personal finance again it pulled videos

and I'm going to say for video two were

there any charts graphs or visual aids

right this now is not going to know

anything that would be included in the

captions file so that's typically how

these things worked in the past any chat

GPT plugin usually pulls the YouTube

caption files to answer a question let's

see what it does this time though and

look at this it says yes there were

charts and graphs and they were there to

support the information presented there

was a pie chart showing how much money a

speakers was spending in each month

there was a bar graph showing how much

money the speaker was able to save each

month now this next prompt sometimes

works and it doesn't I said take me to

the time code of the first graphic so it

says the first graphic is shown at 52

seconds here's the link so let's go

ahead and click this link take me to the

time code of the first graphic let's see

if this link takes us to that point nope

it took us right to the beginning of the

video and not to the 50 second Mark so

that is a limitation I hope they add

here so the 52 seconds if this is

clickable then I could click and go

right to that point of the video right

now it looks like it just gives me the

link back to this video but not to that

specific time code and sometimes it

doesn't give me the time code at all and

I also really like this prompt is there

a specific target audience that this

video seems to be addressing again

before I commit to watch this entire

video I want to make sure am I the right

target audience or is this financial

advice for maybe complete beginners

let's see what it comes up with and it

says yes this video seems to be

addressing people that are struggling in

with debt so maybe I couldn't tell that

from just looking at the title it says

the speaker gives five rules on how he

got out of 30,000 in debt in two years

so useful if that's what you're looking

for but maybe you're looking for

investing advice maybe that's not quite

right for you and just now I save myself

ton of time that is not what I was

looking for I was looking for investing

advice and I'll finish this here with my

favorite prompt so far with interacting

with these videos I haven't been able to

find a solution like this ever before

did this video receive any comments or

engagement from viewers and what are

some of the common reactions so lot of

times I don't have time with some of my

videos If I have a 100 comments to go

through figure out what exactly I should

change about the video when I redo it

this will help me with that by the way

all the prompts that I'm sharing with

you I'll just include those in the

description below this video for you to

copy and paste and look at this it says

yes this video received many comments

and engagement the most common reactions

were positive the viewers expressing

gratitude and here are five different

comments from the video that he pulled

the rules were amazing I definitely

going to start using these to manage my

spending fantastic update this is going

to be so great to just see what was the

reaction to a video remember YouTube

dislikes are now gone right so a lot of

times we may watch a video and half the

people disliked it and we don't even

know that and also had a huge update to

other large language model competitor to

Bard and chat GPT so I'll link that

video if you want to watch that next

hope you found this useful I'll see you

next time
