Knowt

Knowt (AI Video Summarizer) – Knowt, an education-focused platform (originally known for turning notes into quizzes), offers an AI Video Summarizer aimed at helping students and learners digest video lectures and educational content. With this tool, a student can input a link to a video or its transcript – say a 60-minute biology lecture – and Knowt will generate a summary or set of notes covering the key points.

The summarization might break the content into logical sections or bullet notes, capturing definitions, main arguments, and conclusions presented in the video. The idea is to use AI to do the note-taking for you, so you can review or study more efficiently.

For example, if a lecture discusses photosynthesis, the summary would highlight the core steps (light absorption, ATP production, Calvin cycle) and perhaps any examples the instructor gave. Knowt likely employs natural language processing on the lecture’s transcript, identifying important sentences and terminology (maybe based on emphasis or repetition). It might also format output as flashcards or quizzes since Knowt’s ecosystem is about active learning – so a video’s summary could be accompanied by potential test questions. This transforms passive video watching into a more interactive learning experience. By using the AI summarizer, students can also verify they understood the lecture correctly or catch up on content quickly if they missed class. In summary, Knowt’s AI Video Summarizer is a study aid that condenses lengthy educational videos into concise, structured notes. It reflects a trend in EdTech where AI is employed to personalize and streamline studying – extracting knowledge and key insights automatically so learners can focus on understanding and memorization rather than transcription.
