Reel-to-Knowledge

[your one-line version of what this is]

How it works

  1. 01Share an Instagram Reel from an iPhone or a Telegram bot
  2. 02Mac pipeline downloads it (gallery-dl / yt-dlp / Instaloader fallback chain)
  3. 03faster-whisper transcribes the audio
  4. 04One Gemini call reads frames, transcript, and caption together -- returns a visual description, summary, one-line hook, category, tags, and any action items
  5. 05Everything lands in Notion across three linked databases: Knowledge Base, Tasks, Weekly Reviews
  6. 06A reel that implies a task creates one automatically
  7. 07A generated weekly review resurfaces that week's saves by category

What was actually broken

[what you were actually doing before this existed -- saving reels and losing them, screenshotting, forgetting why you saved something]

What I tried, and got wrong

[what you tried first that didn't work, or what almost stopped you]

What it does now

A system that closes the loop between seeing a Reel and actually retaining what was in it -- from a share-sheet tap to a searchable, categorized Notion entry with any real tasks already created, no manual filing.
