18:43The production solution: context-augmented generation

To make generative AI production-ready, models must never run in isolation. An FDE supplies the model with runtime context alongside the raw user prompt — policies, live order data and chat history.

“supplies the model with runtime context…”Explain simply
Think of the LLM as a smart new support agent on day one: brilliant, but it doesn't know your return policy or this customer's order. Context is the file you hand it before it answers. 17:07

The problem

Video is a great way to show — and a terrible way to learn.

YouTube has the best free courses in the world. Learning from them still means fighting the format.

You can't skim

Already know the basics? You still scrub through them to find where the video gets new.

You can't search

“Where was that command?” means rewinding a 90-minute video — again.

You can't copy the code

Pause, squint at a blurry frame, retype — and hope you didn't miss a bracket.

No one to ask

Stuck on one idea? Your options are the comments section or another video.

Unwatch fixes all four — without losing a single thing the video teaches.

How Unwatch fixes it

Everything the video teaches. None of the waiting.

Not a 5-bullet summary. A lesson you can actually learn from — and the tools to make it stick.

It watches the screen, not just the audio.

Most tools only read the transcript, so the code, slides and diagrams the instructor shows are lost. Full lessons look at the video and copy them into your lesson as shown.

  • Code, terminal output and file names, exactly as on screen
  • Diagrams redrawn as text you can copy
  • Transcript-only mode when you want it faster

A tutor that has watched every minute.

Select any sentence and ask about it — or ask anything in the chat. Answers use the video itself and point to the exact moment.

  • “Explain simply”, “give an example”, “go deeper”, “why?”
  • Every answer cites timestamps that jump the player
  • Says clearly when an answer goes beyond the video
“It returns the current value and a function to update it.”Give me an example

A like button: liked is the current value, setLiked flips it. Click → setLiked(!liked) → React redraws the heart. 0:47

Playlists become real courses.

Paste a playlist and every video becomes a lesson, in order, with progress tracking. Ask questions across the whole course — answers tell you which video covers what.

  • Lessons generate in the background while you start reading
  • Mark complete, continue where you left off
  • “Which video explained embeddings?” — answered with links

Make it stick — then keep it.

Reading isn't remembering. Each lesson comes with a quiz and flashcards, and compact study notes that include what you asked.

  • Quizzes with explanations that link back to the lesson
  • Flashcards: “Got it” / “Again” until you know them
  • Study notes with your Q&A — export to PDF or Markdown
QUESTION 3 OF 8
Why do plain LLMs give wrong answers about a company's return policy?
They are trained on too little data
✓ They have no access to the company's private context
✗ Return policies are too complex for language models

How long is your playlist?

Drag to your course length. Based on our measured lessons, reading takes about 38% of the video's length — before you skip anything you already know.

16hwatching (at 1×)
5h 58mreading the lessons
10h 2mback in your week

Ratio from 3 real lessons (225 min of video → 84 min of reading at 238 words per minute, the average adult silent-reading speed). Watching time assumes 1× with no pauses or rewinds. Very short clips can take longer to read than to watch, because lessons add explanations and code.

Why not just watch, or use a summarizer?

Summaries are great for deciding whether to watch. They're not built for learning the skill.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is it just a summary?

No. You get the whole lesson in the video's order — every concept, example, warning and code snippet — so you can learn from it instead of watching. Compact study notes are a separate, optional step.

How much time does it actually save?

About 60% less time. In our tests 3h 45m of video became 1h 24m of reading — 38% of the video's length — and that's before skipping parts you already know or counting the pauses and rewinds of real watching. For very short clips the lesson can take longer than the video, since it adds explanations and code.

What's the difference between a Full lesson and Transcript only?

A Full lesson is made by the AI looking at the video as well as listening to it, so code, slides, diagrams and terminal output shown on screen end up in your lesson as shown. For videos with captions you can pick Transcript only instead: made from the speech alone, it uses half your video time — great for talks, podcasts and lectures, but on-screen code may be missing.

Which videos work?

Public YouTube videos and playlists, with or without captions, in any language. Non-English videos become an English lesson.

Are my questions and notes private?

Yes. Your chats, notes, quiz scores and course progress belong to your account only.

Is it free?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 hours of video a week, up to 12 hours a month (each lesson you add uses its video length once), and 10 AI requests a day. Pro (₹199/month or ₹1,999/year) gives 12 hours a week, up to 48 a month, and 60 AI requests a day.

What is the Own Key plan?

You add your own Google Gemini API key (free to create in Google AI Studio) and all your AI work — lessons, tutor, quizzes — runs on it, so Google bills you for AI use directly. You pay us ₹49 a month or ₹449 a year for the app, with up to 20 hours of video a week and 300 AI requests a day. We check the key with a free test call, store it encrypted and never show it again. Those are our limits — Google also limits your key, and whichever runs out first applies: free-tier Gemini keys only allow a few lessons a day, while keys with billing turned on are effectively unlimited.

When do my hours reset?

Weekly hours reset every Monday at midnight (India time) and monthly hours on the 1st. A lesson uses its video length once — reopening it, or adding a video you already have, costs nothing.
