People who often search for videos and web pagesOtio AIIt's better to use it. It will be much more efficient. On the other hand, it's better for people who only occasionally load pages or watch videos properly to use it. It will teach you 10 times better than if you were to do it yourself, even if you're not used to it.
What is Otio AI?
Otio AI is an AI specialized in limiting the content of research within a specified document. You can paste the URL of a web page or YouTube video to get an overview, and then dig deeper by asking additional questions. I was impressed that it was able to summarize a Japanese YouTube video in 1/10 of the time.1It is also very easy to create a summary of OpenID for VCI and ask additional questions to learn more about it. The ability to limit the survey content to specified sources is a big help in increasing the reliability of the results. However, for now it can only be used on PCs and Macs, and not on smartphones. This is about PDFs, butPopAIis better. Because there is an app version. (There are also various other functions such as creating presentations, and there are other uses other than Otio AI, so I will write about them separately.)
The free version is limited to 15 questions per month, but it's good for trying out the features, and it's good for people who want to see a quick summary of a YouTube video or get an overview of a page or PDF every now and then. On the other hand, the Max version is better for people like me who tend to use it endlessly.
Max version
- Supports GPT-4o, Claude, Llama3, Mistral
- URL, PDF, YouTube, audio file, CSV (files up to 100MB)
- AI chat/summary/editor
- Automatic Citation and References
- Research using Perplexity's model (but without Pro features)
It's very powerful. I immediately bought the max version with a yearly discount.
So, here's a little sneak peek at what it's like.
A compilation of Japanese YouTube videos
First, let's load a Japanese YouTube video. This time, I loaded a video from YouTube's recommendations called "It would be a real waste not to receive this powerful subsidy." It's a really good video, so I feel like I have to watch it, but I can't watch it for 15 minutes. Otio is useful for those times!
When you open the Otio screen, you will see a button labeled "Import file or link." Click on it and select "🔗 Paste Link," then paste the URL of the YouTube video you want to load into the text box and press the "Add" button.
It seems that you can specify multiple options here, but for now, just click "Save" to proceed. Then, loading will begin. Wait 1-10 minutes, and when loading is complete, a video thumbnail tile will appear at the bottom, so click on it. Then, a screen with YouTube loaded will appear, and if you press the "Summary✨️" button in the upper right corner, the contents of the video will appear in text. This will give you an overview of a 1-minute video in just XNUMX minute.
(Example of the video summary)

- Refer to past adoption cases:
- Search for past recipient cases on the Small Business Sustainability Subsidy website for reference.
It seems like "sales promotion" has become "foul play", but that's just the way it is. On the other hand, it's clear that it's taken from the audio. This makes it easy to understand the meaning.AuthleteHowever, travel expenses, material purchase expenses, outsourcing expenses, etc. can be used. Let's check the definition of small and medium-sized enterprises. If you enter this in the chat field on the right and ask, you will be answered using this video as a reference.
Hmm, I think I could do it...
Incidentally, this video was a little older and was about the 15th Small Business Sustainability Subsidy, so the application deadline of March 3th had long since passed.PerplexityAccording to reports, the event is currently running its 17th time.
| The deadline for the 17th Small Business Sustainability Subsidy is August 2024, 8[29]. Quotes: [3] https://leon-strategy.com/jizokuka_305 |
Otia also has a web search feature that uses Perplexity's model, but it's still in an experimental version and is a bit underwhelming compared to Perplexity.AI itself, especially since I use the paid version of Perplexity.
Try loading a Japanese slide PDF
Next, let's load a Japanese slide. The slides used were from the Personal Information Protection Commission Secretariat on April 6, 4."Personal Information Protection Act: Review based on the so-called three-yearly review provision (How to more effectively protect the rights and interests of individuals③)"Just like with YouTube videos, you can load the video by specifying the URL.Link destination.It will look like this.
After that, just like in the video, you can ask various questions about this document in Chat and check it out. This time, there is only one PDF, but it seems like it would be pretty good if you could load a series of files and ask questions about them.
Try to load an HTML page
Finally, let's load an HTML page.OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance – draft 13I tried it out. It turned out pretty good, including the variable format.Summary in EnglishThe English summary is quite long and detailed, so I thought it would be weird to write it in a Japanese post.LinkI'll just post it here, but it looks pretty good.
Conclusion
This time I tried using one material from each category, but it seems more effective if multiple materials are specified. I'll report back after using it more. After all, it's very convenient that the answers are based only on the specified source. I expect hallucination to be significantly reduced. This is the same as Google's NotebookLM, but I think Otia wins when it comes to being able to specify YouTube videos as sources. (Although I'm sure it will catch up sooner or later.)
Yes, there are some things that I'm not satisfied with.
- As is the case with Perplexity and others, there is a bug where when you confirm input in Japanese, the chat is launched.
- Also, I don't know how to translate the English Summary directly into Japanese.
- Plus, and this may be the biggest thing, it doesn't work on mobile!
- The file that can be specified is limited to 100MB. For videos, it is about 10 to 15 minutes. This may be related to the fact that the current model is GPT-4o. It may be improved when Gemini 1.5 Pro etc. become available.
Still, there's no doubt it's quite usable.
However, I'm now paying for more and more AI tools. I need to organize them a bit...
