[2:08] How Does Kurator Organize Research Links and Source Metadata?

Answer / Description:
Kurator organizes research links by saving them into folders where each link is automatically converted into a structured database record containing rich metadata. Every saved post displays an image, publisher, author, date, title, description, and custom content tags.

This structured metadata makes it easy for users to quickly identify why a resource was saved and locate it later. Users can search and filter their saved links within specific folders or perform a global search across all folders using any of the available metadata fields. To revisit a saved source, you simply click on the post's title to instantly open the original destination link in a new tab.

[3:16] How Do You Save Links and Generate Structured AI Summaries in Kurator?

Answer / Description:
To save a link and generate an AI-powered summary in Kurator, click the pinned extension icon in your browser toolbar, select your destination folder, and execute a custom prompt using an integrated API. The system utilizes connected Gemini or OpenAI API keys to read the page content (such as a YouTube transcript) and automatically generate structured descriptions, keywords, and timestamps.

The extension popup also allows you to manually edit the source headline, choose alternative images, or upload custom visuals using the integrated Unsplash open-source library. By applying custom prompts (such as "YouTube SEO"), the AI parses the loaded webpage and structures the output exactly as needed for downstream AI workflows or content creation. Adding content tags before saving further streamlines future filtering and information curation.

Once the API is authenticated, you can create, edit, reorder, and save custom prompt templates that automatically populate when saving new web content.
