“Clip a YouTube podcast by timestamp, then let a bot team write the post”

KanekoaTheGreat sends his Grok Bot a YouTube link and says 'cut from 16:43 to 18:17' - a few minutes later the exact HD clip is in the chat. His Clipper bot hands it to a Researcher and a Writer bot that pull quotes and draft the caption. No code - he just connected his Google account and asked Grok Bot to clip it.

How it runs

3 steps. Do them in order.

  1. 01**Clipper bot** - takes a YouTube link and a time range, produces the exact HD clip, and transcribes it.
  2. 02**Researcher bot** - receives the clip and transcript and pulls the best quotes and moments.
  3. 03**Writer bot** - turns those into a caption/post draft, ready for you to review.

What you get

This is the workflow a lot of creators have wanted for years - "tell an AI which part of a podcast you want and it just cuts the HD clip" - except the interesting part isn't the cut, it's the assembly line behind it. One instruction fans out into three specialists: the Clipper produces and transcribes, the Researcher mines the transcript for the moments worth posting, and the Writer turns those into a caption. Each bot does one job well and passes the baton, so you go from a raw two-hour video to a finished clip with a ready draft attached - without touching an editor or writing a line of code. It's a clean template for any "find the good part, package it, write the post" pipeline, not just podcasts.

Prompt

Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.

Prompt
You are my Clipper bot. Your job: when I send you a YouTube link and a time range, produce the exact HD clip and kick off the rest of my content pipeline.

Setup (do once):
- Make sure my Google / YouTube account is connected so you can access the videos I send.
- Know your two teammates: a Researcher bot and a Writer bot. After you produce a clip, you hand off to them.

Every time I give you a link and a range like "cut from 16:43 to 18:17":
1. Cut the exact clip from that YouTube video in HD, from the start timestamp to the end timestamp, and post the finished clip back in this chat.
2. Transcribe the clip.
3. Send the clip and transcript to the Researcher bot and ask it to pull the 3-5 best quotes and moments.
4. Pass those to the Writer bot and ask it to draft a caption/post in my voice, ready for me to review.

Rules: cut exactly the range I give - do not round or guess the timestamps. If the video is not accessible or the range is invalid, tell me instead of guessing. Bring me the finished clip plus the drafted caption, and wait for my approval before anything is posted anywhere.

Tips

  • ·You need a Grok Bot with your Google/YouTube account connected. The clip instruction ('cut from mm:ss to mm:ss' on a YouTube link) is verbatim; the Clipper -> Researcher -> Writer handoff is a curator reconstruction - build the three bots and wire the handoffs to your posting workflow.

A draft in my voice that flags its own weak claims

Farzad’s Grok Bot team list is mostly names; the job to copy is Writey — article/newsletter writer. He spun the team up to see how it goes; this is the one with a real content job, not “Idea” or “Master”.
