‘The Times of India’ has launched ‘Hack of the Day,’ a new weekday series aimed at providing quick and practical solutions for common challenges. Each hack focuses on utilizing accessible tools and features, ranging from government websites to everyday applications. The goal is to offer straightforward fixes that enhance efficiency in daily life, ultimately saving time, money, and reducing stress.
Long tutorials, product reviews, or lectures on YouTube can be incredibly informative — but they’re also time-consuming. Sitting through an hour-long video just to find one key detail can feel overwhelming. That’s where Google’s Gemini comes in. Its ability to analyze YouTube videos, playlists, and even entire channels means you can ask direct questions and get quick answers without rewatching every minute. This hack solves the problem of information overload. Instead of scrubbing through timestamps or relying on vague chapter markers, Gemini can summarize content, highlight key steps, list pros and cons, or even generate study notes. It’s like having a personal assistant who watches the video for you and delivers the insights you need. Open the Gemini app or website. Paste a YouTube link or ask Gemini to find a video on your topic.
