A researcher built an agent workflow that ingests YouTube channels, fact-checks transcripts, and files the useful parts into a knowledge base
gerardsans · x · 2026-08-04
The author describes a reusable workflow for onboarding into an unfamiliar domain:
- build a skill that ingests entire YouTube channels into a knowledge base
- run it alongside a fleet of deep-research subagents and /last30days social scraping
- iterate through every transcript to extract what is worth keeping
- fact-check it, verify that it still holds today, and file it into notes/knowledge
The post is framed as a reply to criticism about why this is needed instead of a free web search, but the core value is the agentic research pipeline itself.
