🤖💭 AI Plan (pre task) - the AI's step by step thought process
My thought process for generating the summary will follow these steps:
Understand the overall objective: I need to summarise YouTube transcripts from ATP Geopolitics for "ATP Distilled", focusing on key information and Jonathan's insights, while adhering to British English and specific XML formatting.
Break down the tasks: I'll tackle each task sequentially as defined in the prompt (Task 1 to Task 6).
Task 1 (Title, Date, Part):
I will parse the provided YouTube video title "Ukraine War Update NEWS (20250211a): Pt 1 - Overnight & Other News, US Wants Repayment".
Extract "Ukraine War Update NEWS: Pt 1 - Overnight & Other News, US Wants Repayment" as the title by removing the date and part.
Extract "20250211" and convert it to "11/02/2025".
Extract "a" as the part.
Wrap these in ``, ``, and `` XML tags respectively.

- Task 5 (Quote):
- I will select a quote that is significant or thought-provoking, making sure it is concise and makes sense out of context. Perhaps the "Men are expendable, but armour is not." quote, or the one about Tucker Carlson being an agent of Russia. I will go with "Men are expendable, but armour is not." as it's quite striking.
- Task 6 (Queries):
- After completing all tasks, I will reflect if there were any parts of the transcript or instructions I didn't understand and note them in `
🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand
`. If everything is clear, I'll put "None".
- XML Output: Finally, I will assemble all the XML elements in the specified structure, ensuring all tags are correctly opened and closed, paying particular attention to not using
Return to top⤴️ instead of . I will double check the topic ids are consistent across topictitle, topicts, and topicsummary. By following these steps methodically, I should be able to generate the required XML summary effectively. Let's begin the process.
