What you get

A summary
Three or four sentences that say what the video claims or teaches.
Sections with timestamps
The video's parts in order. Each heading links to the moment the part starts, and under it are its points as full statements.
Terms the video defines
A table of each term, its one-line definition and the time it is given.
What to watch again
The two or three moments that carry the most, each with its time and the reason.

How to learn from a video, not only watch it

A lecture video is easy to watch and hard to use. You cannot skim it as you skim a page, and a point you half understood at minute 14 is gone by minute 40. Notes with timestamps turn the video into something you can search: you read the notes, and you open the video only at the moments you need.

A summary alone is not enough for study. It tells you what the video is about, and that helps you decide whether to watch it. To learn the content you need the points of each section and the definitions, in the speaker's order, so you can follow the argument and find the step you lost.

The notes are made from the video's transcript, so they hold what the speaker said and no more. After you read them, close them and try to say the main points of each section. Then ask for flashcards or a quiz on the same video to check what stayed.

How it works

  1. Say what it is about

    Name a topic, or add a PDF, a lecture video, an article or your own notes. With files, the result is written from them.

  2. Winda makes it

    The template sets the form, so you do not write a prompt. You choose the model that does the work: Claude, GPT, Gemini and others.

  3. Keep it and change it

    The result is saved in your project beside your files and chats. Ask for a change in the chat, or make flashcards and a quiz from the same material.
