2. ​Intelligent Processing: Transcribes video content with OpenAI Whisper for high accuracy. The AI then filters the transcript to identify key concepts and cross-references them against your existing database to ensure Smart Duplicate Prevention.

3. ​Enhanced Research: Searches Perplexity AI for deep, external insights, generating usage guides and implementation instructions to give your new content maximum educational value.

4. ​Final Scripting: Generates a new, original script optimized for your audience, maintaining your brand voice while integrating strategic calls-to-action for engagement.
