This AI Workflow Turns Any Video Into Organised Notes Automatically (Relay To Tana Workflow)

Drowning in your endless "watch later" list? Here's how I built an AI workflow that decides what content deserves my attention ⚡️

I don't know about you, but I have piles of unwatched videos and unread articles scattered across countless systems. Probably too much that any one person could watch in their lifetime. So I built an AI agent that acts like my personal content filter - it tells me what's worth my time and gives me the cliff notes on everything else.

In this video I'll show you how to setup this workflow for yourself including:

  • How to pull any YouTube transcript or web article directly into Tana using Relay
  • Three smart AI prompts that act like your personal research assistant (summary, key insights, and my favourite - "worth watching")
  • The exact setup that lets you triage content with AI before you invest your time

This isn't just another productivity hack. Once you set this up, you'll never feel guilty about your watch later list again. Your system just tells you what matters.
