The Challenge of Video-First Learning
Video has become the dominant format for learning in 2025. Platforms such as YouTube and Bilibili deliver endless value—but they also create problems: fragmented information, weak recall, and messy review workflows. Traditional note-taking interrupts focus and rarely captures the full picture. Bookmarking alone does not connect ideas or build durable knowledge.
Why Obsidian + BibiGPT Works
BibiGPT converts videos and audio into structured text with AI summaries, translations, and interactive dialogues. It supports advanced prompts for critical thinking and deep analysis—see our guide to custom prompts for more.
Obsidian then anchors those insights inside your knowledge graph. Bidirectional links, tags, and flexible metadata let you relate new notes to existing material and surface them when you need them most.
