Kurator YouTube Import and Publishing Demo
Transcript
(00:03) In this demo, I will show how to import a YouTube channel into Kurator, transcribe videos, publish them on a website, and chat with your YouTube content using KChat. To start, copy the URL of your YouTube channel.
(00:31) In the Kurator app, click the three dots next to Curation Folders. Select "Import YouTube channel," paste the channel URL, choose how many videos to import (for this demo, 50), name the folder, and click Import.
(01:06) The videos are now imported. Open the "YouTube demos" folder to see all imported videos in Kurator. My goals are to publish them as galleries and carousels on my website, and to use them with KChat for customer support.
(01:38) To do this, I will add accurate transcripts and content tags so I can publish by category and power Khat with high‑quality context. Here’s how transcript generation works.
(02:10) Open a video on YouTube. When the video loads, click the Kurator browser icon. I use a custom prompt to generate YouTube transcripts, then click the OpenAI icon. The transcript is generated and saved in the description.
(02:38) The prompt also suggests keywords I can add quickly, such as WordPress plugin, KBucket demo, and content hub. I remove keywords from the transcript body, set the publisher, and save.
This makes future filtering easy when multiple people in the organization publish videos. I then save the result back to Kurator. In Kurator, the saved description appears with the video. I can edit it to remove extra line breaks and finalize the copy.
(03:41) There’s another way to generate transcripts. Open the video on YouTube and use Glasp. Install Glasp in your browser. On YouTube, Glasp appears on the right side of the video page and lets you copy the transcript to the clipboard instantly.
(04:12) With the video open in Kurator, paste the transcript. Add line breaks between timestamped segments for readability, save, and then paste the content into Notion. With line breaks in place, I often use Notion AI with a custom prompt to improve the English, remove filler words, and generate keywords.
(04:59) Example prompt: Improve the English for this post. Remove filler words. Keep the structure and give me five keywords. Copy the refined text, open the Kurator popup again, replace the old text, add content tags, and save.
(05:50) This method is very effective for long videos (60–90 minutes). Notion AI can take longer on large files, so Glasp plus Notion offers a fast, reliable workflow for accurate transcripts.
(06:58) With transcripts ready, it’s time to publish. From Kurator, add selected videos to Publish Collections. Choose a collection such as Product Tutorials. Pick a theme (card, carousel, or grid), select Image only or Image + text, then choose YouTube embed.
(07:32) Kurator generates JavaScript you can add to your site. This builds a carousel of videos you can play directly on the page. Transcripts appear below the video, improving accessibility, search visibility, and engagement.
(08:03) Transcripts also power KChat, our RAG‑based GPT solution for customer service and content engagement. Ask questions such as "How do I get started with Kurator?" KChat uses the saved transcripts to answer with precise steps, timestamps, and references.
(08:39) Clicking a reference opens the video on our site (via the KBucket plugin) and plays the relevant segment. Keeping visitors on your site helps you own the conversation, understand user questions, and improve content strategy.
(09:12) Kurator, KChat, and KBucket work together to publish videos, surface transcripts, and enable high‑quality chat responses. Explore our detailed videos on publishing with KBucket and using KChat, and ask KChat to learn more.
