Turn Any 1,000-Video YouTube Channel into Your Personal AI Mentor
Go beyond generic summaries. Shirube YouTube Persona AI (v1.0.0) ingests the output folder of Step 1 (Transcript Extractor), builds a blazing-fast local SQLite FTS5 search index, and lets you consult with an AI that reasons using the creator's exact 12-dimension decision criteria, remembers your business context, and proves every answer with clickable timestamp links (?t=123s) to the original videos.
Use Step 1 (Transcript Tool) to download & batch-translate transcripts into youtube_transcripts → Click “🧠 Open in Persona AI” to launch Step 2 and converse with the channel's synthesized brain.

Beyond Standard Summaries & Generic AI Voice
ChatGPT and NotebookLM output generic AI summaries and forget who you are in the next session. Here is how Shirube YouTube Persona AI solves that:
Exact Video & Timestamp Links (?t=123s)
The AI does not make up claims. Every answer links directly to the specific video title and exact minute mark on YouTube. More importantly, it explicitly separates “what was actually stated in the videos” from “AI extrapolation from the creator's mental models” so you can audit every point.
How They Think, Not Just How They Talk
Tone mimicry is shallow. Shirube Persona AI breaks reasoning down into 12 editable dimensions: Core Values, Decision Filters, Problem-Solving Workflow, Frameworks, Strengths & Out-of-Scope, Risk Posture, User Relationship, Tone, Disagreement Handling, Uncertainty Handling, and Forbidden Speculations. Includes ready-to-use presets in English and Japanese.
Remembers Your Business Context Across Sessions
Never re-introduce your company, revenue size, target market, or constraints again. The tool automatically detects your profile declarations and preserves them in structured SQLite long-term memory (user_memories), which you can review, edit, or toggle with 1 click.
