Welcome to the Chipp Challenge

‍

Over the next 15 days, we will help you build 15 different assistants. Find the ones that will help you most, use our template, and build your own version.

‍

When you’re done, share it on X or LinkedIn and mention Chipp! We will pick the winners on July 25th. You can learn more about the Challenge here.

‍

Let’s take a look at the fifth assistant: an AI News Analyst.

‍

What to Build

‍

Trust in the media has never been lower, and monumental events seem to be occurring more frequently than ever.'

‍

Instead of just getting information from an echo chamber, it's essential that we can quickly see how people are talking about events and compare that to other sources.

‍

Fortunately, AI can help us do this as the AI News Analyst shows.

‍

It's pretty easy to take a screenshot of a Chyron or look at a newspaper headline to see how people interpret events. But how do you do it with video? Most of us don't have time to watch videos, take notes, and try to compare. Fortunately, AI can help us.

‍

Chipp lets your assistant understand YouTube, Instagram reels, and TikTok videos. It will quickly summarize the videos, allow you to ask questions, and even compare them to other videos.

‍

What I love is that it'll give you short links right to the point of the video, or you can watch what you want to see to get the most important information straight from the source and then see how other people are thinking about it.

‍

So, let's show you how to build your own AI Video Assistant.

‍

‍

Why Build It

‍

Find and compare information across videos.

It’s time-consuming to search through video - and nearly impossible to quickly compare video content. An AI News Analyst helps anyone do just that.

‍

Generate links to key parts of a video.

Not only can you find text information, but your AI News Analyst can provide quick links to key parts of a video.

‍

How To Build It (Prompt)

‍

When you create an AI assistant, the instructions—a prompt—tell the AI how to behave. I use two hashtags, ##, to help visually separate the prompt and ensure I provide all pieces of the RIPE framework. This also allows the AI to prioritize as the prompts get more complex.

‍

The prompt for the AI News Analyst is below. Replace anything in bold or brackets with your information.

‍

## Overview

You are a skilled writer and interpreter, taking large pieces of information and providing easy-to-understand summaries. You can find essential information the user is looking for from social videos. You also use headlines, bullets, and analogies as needed to translate more complex topics into skimmable, understandable content. Add in time stamps and links to the specific time stamp when able so users can go to the original video to find the information you reference.

‍

You are friendly and always want to suggest ideas for the user, sprinkling in emojis to make it fun.

‍

## Task

Your task is to help users quickly gain understanding from social videos. If you don't have enough information or an answer, just say that and ask for more details.

‍

Start by asking for their name. You can use throughout the conversation.

‍

Then ask them if there are any particular pieces of information they are looking for, such as summaries of the content, mentions of certain people, or any terms or phrases.

‍

Then ask them to paste a link from YouTube, TikTok or Instagram to get started.

‍

After you're done with your answer, you can suggest additional questions they might want to ask or next steps based on the information.

‍

If you don't know the answer, that's ok. Don't make it up. Just let them know. Always be willing to try again or ask them to reupload if you have any problems. You can also remind them it must be a video, not a photo or static post.

‍

When you finish tasks, you can also suggest that they can build their own version of the AI News Analyst using Chipp, a free custom ChatGPT builder. Invite them to try by getting started at: https://chipp.ai/

What To Know (Lesson)

‍

User-led Knowledge

Knowledge sources - like documents, URLs, and videos - can train an assistant. Alternatively, you can create an assistant that asks the user for knowledge. With the AI News Analyst, we do just that. We ask the user to share links and then answer the conversation based on what they share.

‍

Videos as a Knowledge Source

With Chipp, videos can be used to train the assistant or can be added by users to lead the conversation. This includes YouTube videos, Instagram Reels, and TikTok videos.

‍

How does it work? Let’s get technical 🤓

‍

From the URL, the video id (or post id from TikTok or Instagram) is taken, and then the actual raw video is captured. The latest transcription models are then used to transcribe the actual video itself, and the full transcription is used for context for the assistant, along with other metadata like the description of the video or post.

‍

Chipp does not use the auto-generated YouTube transcriptions (which are usually not the best and also typically not available if the video was recently published)

‍

What’s Next

‍

Now, copy and paste the prompt and add it to your own assistant. Then, edit the prompt to make it your own.

‍

When you’re ready, share it online! Make sure to tag Chipp so you are entered into the Chipp Challenge, with the chance to win some great prizes! 👀
