The reading list that writes itself.

A lot of what matters in your industry gets said on YouTube first: press conferences, keynotes, product reviews, hearings, conference talks. Nobody on your team has time to watch it all. KnowStash watches for you and turns it into notes you can search, plus a newsletter that arrives already written.

Start free → Talk to sales

Each example below is one monitor: a few sources, the actions it runs, how often, and an email. It takes about five minutes to set up on the Monitor page (the guide walks through it, and a short video shows one set up). One credit is about an hour of video; the full price list is on the pricing page.

As it looks in the app

A markets team's monitor: one channel and two searches, run twice a day. Only videos with the team's words in the title get in, and a run spends at most 3 credits, which the app works out as up to 6 credits a day. Each new video is saved and noted with the team's instructions, and a newsletter of the new notes goes out every morning at 07:00.

The page reads top to bottom in the order a run works, from the schedule and the spending limit down to the note and the newsletter, and a preview shows what the next run would pick up before it runs.

Markets · research teams · investors

A morning brief from the channels your team trusts

Central bank press conferences, earnings calls, the two or three market commentators your team actually follows. It's all on YouTube within hours, and nobody has ninety minutes a day to watch it. A monitor runs twice a day, saves what's new, and writes a note per video using your instructions: what was said about rates, what changed since last time, the key quotes with timestamps. Every morning a newsletter arrives with the night's notes, already sorted into sections.

The brief is in your inbox before markets open. Every issue is kept and every note is searchable.
Quotes come with timestamps, so you can check a claim against the moment it was said
Months later, “what did she say about wage growth in March” is a search, not a rewatch
With the Team plan the newsletter goes to the whole team, and everyone works in one shared library

Product marketing · strategy · competitive intelligence

One note per competitor that keeps itself up to date

Launch keynotes, hands-on reviews, comparison videos. Competitors say more on YouTube than in their press releases. Set up one monitor per competitor: their channel, plus the searches reviewers use. With the Note set to “update one note”, every new video gets folded into a single note that grows over time, with versions, so the document you open before a roadmap meeting is always current. If you'd rather have a note per video, put them in a collection per competitor and get a weekly newsletter of what changed.

Brand · PR · agencies

Know within the hour when a big review lands

The reviews that move a product are twenty minutes long, and they're on YouTube. Set up searches for your brand and product names, run every hour. Each new video gets a note: the overall tone in one line, then the specific praise, complaints and feature requests as quotes, and who made the video. A short newsletter reaches you as soon as something lands. Over time the complaints become a searchable log, and at the end of the month you can pick that month's notes and ask for one summary.

Product management · UX research · customer insight

What customers actually say, across every review ever posted

Long reviews, “a year with” videos, community how-tos. They're customer interviews you never had to schedule. Queue thirty of them, save them all with one empty send, then ask one question across all of them: every complaint and workaround, grouped by feature, with who said it. Save the question as a prompt and you can run the same study again next quarter on the new batch. A monitor on the same searches keeps the queue filling up in between.

Public affairs · compliance · legal operations

Hearings and regulator briefings, on file the same day

Committee sessions, regulator webinars, agency briefings. Hours of video on official channels, and someone has to sit through them for the two decisions that matter. Point a monitor at the channels. Each new session gets a note: decisions, deadlines, obligations, who said what, with a timestamp to cite. Fold a topic into one growing note (“AI Act, running brief”) and the reference document keeps itself up to date. A weekly newsletter keeps the wider team in the loop.

Leadership · consultants · analysts

A conference, read in an afternoon

The recordings come out a week after the event: eighty talks, with the five that matter somewhere among them. Add the playlist as a source, and overnight the monitor saves every talk and writes its note from one instruction: the claim, the evidence, the ask. In the morning, one note written from all the talk notes gives you the themes, and the per-talk notes tell you which five to actually watch. Consultants do the same for a client's industry and pass the weekly issue on, a briefing that writes itself.

Learning & development · enablement · professional development

A study library the whole team can search

More and more of what a team learns from is public: vendor training channels, conference workshops, a specialist's YouTube channel. Turn them into study guides once, keep them in a collection per topic, and share the notes with a link. New videos on the channel arrive already noted. It works for your own learning too: a channel that's basically a never-ending course becomes one growing reference note, updated every time a lesson lands.
