🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand

No queries, everything was understandable.

🤖💭 AI Plan (pre task) - the AI's step by step thought process

Okay, let's break this down. I need to summarise a YouTube transcript for "ATP Distilled" in British English, following a specific XML format. Step 1: Title, Date, and Part (Task 1) Extract title by removing date and part from "Politics Breaking News: Musk Wages Political War on the UK." - should be "Politics Breaking News: Musk Wages Political War on the UK. - Transcript" but actually the title is just "Politics Breaking News: Musk Wages Political War on the UK." as the transcript part is not part of the youtube title. No date in this title so date will be empty. No part in this title so part will be empty. XML tags: ``, ``, ``. Step 2: Topic Titles (Task 2)
  • Read through the transcript and identify topic breaks.
  • First topic will be "Hello Team".
  • Last topic will be "Wrap up".
  • Create specific topic titles for the content in between.
  • Number each topic starting from 1.
  • XML tags: `

    `.

Step 3: Topic Timestamps (Task 3)
  • For each topic, note the start and end timestamps from the transcript.
  • Match the `id` to the corresponding `

    `.

  • Format timestamps as MM:SS or HH:MM:SS.
  • XML tags: ``.
Step 4: Topic Summaries (Task 4)
  • Write a summary for each topic using bullet points/markdown.
  • Include context, Jonathan's opinions, sources, and insights.
  • British English, correct spellings, Ukrainian place names.
  • XML tags: `
    `.
Step 5: Quote (Task 5)
  • Choose a significant quote.
  • Concise and makes sense out of context.
  • Correct spelling and punctuation.
  • XML tags: `
    `.
Step 6: Queries (Task 6)
  • Note any unclear parts of the transcript or tasks.
  • If everything is clear, state that.
  • XML tags: `

    🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand

    `.

Pre-computation/Analysis:
  • The video title is "Politics Breaking News: Musk Wages Political War on the UK."
  • The transcript is provided as a list of dictionaries with 'start', 'end', and 'text'.
  • I need to be mindful of British English spellings and Ukrainian place names (though none are expected in this transcript about UK politics).
  • Need to pay close attention to the XML structure and tag names to avoid errors.
  • Remember to check for misspellings and correct them in the summaries and quote.
Confidence Checklist:
  • Summarise transcript: Yes
  • ATP Geopolitics: Yes
  • British English: Yes
