Working on Wordspike.com which I launched earlier this month. It exists to help you extract information from videos so that you save time and get a text to work with. It’s freemium model.

Rakhim, nice to see you. Check out wordspike.com (launched last week), it’s def up your alley.

Hey, this is pretty damn cool! Too bad the Show HN post did not get much attention.

What kind of IO do you have? JSON or plain language?

I input text and preferably I output JSON but doesn’t matter much as long as it’s somewhat structured.

Ultimately I’d like to extract information like date ranges, specific indications of tool usages (e.g. I have a bunch of data apis with their own individual data and semantic meaning which need to be picked and then a combination of tools to transform the data)

I am creating something along these lines, https://github.com/zero-day-ai, it's meant for security testing, but probably has most of the functionality you need (and you can write plugins fairly easily if not); you can create a prompt repository, defined by a schema that are organized my domains (again, security testing domains, but they can be expanded). If you have any features you'd like to see, or have an ideal workflow feel free to ping me: anthony@zero-day.ai

cool, i'll have a look. thanks for sharing.

The UI for table of contents has been updated. Should be much more indicative of the current place on the page. Thanks again!

All important points, thanks for the feedback!

I'll update UI for the table of contents in a moment.

As for LLMs, my vision for Wordspike’s not to replace human voice, but to act as a filter. It's an add-on to see what video content is valuable to watch in full. It's my attempt to built a counter-weight to the endless amount of shorts and slop I see online.

So, let me get this straight: your attempt at reducing the amount of slop you see is to produce more slop?

Yes. Modern problems require modern solutions.

Should be fixed now! Thanks again.

Thanks. The old version seems to be still in my cache but it works in a private tab.

Good to hear! Thanks for letting me know.

Noted, will fix momentarily! Thanks for letting me know.

Tragic indeed. This has always been a tough business. Apple, Xerox, Facebook, OpenAI…

Hey HN, I'm the creator of Wordspike.

I built this because I have a love-hate relationship with YouTube. It's an incredible resource, but the platform's design makes it a major productivity trap. I wanted a way to get the knowledge without the time sink.

Wordspike takes any YouTube link and turns it into a clean, readable article with summaries and key insights. It also has a one-click "Send to Kindle" feature. I built the first version in about two weeks using React, Bun, Postgres, and Redis.

The site is live at: https://wordspike.com

I would be grateful for any and all feedback from the HN community—on the product, the tech, the business model, anything.

As a thank you, I'd be happy to set up anyone from HN with a promo Pro account. Just leave a comment here or my email is in my profile.

Thanks for checking it out!

Too bad, it’s a great web-app. I wonder why not open-source it if the owner is not interested in keeping it up?

It does sometimes cost money and time to open-source something like this.

i.e. something that ran a business, and could run another (in time)
