A little dictionary

guruling/ˈɡʊ.rʊ.lɪŋ/noun, plural gurulings

A little mind learned from one creator’s videos. It keeps every transcript it learns from. Unofficial: it learns from them, it isn’t them.

From guru, someone you learn from, and ‑ling, small and dear, as in duckling.

“My guruling has read all 212 videos. I’ve read three.”

pocket/ˈpɒk.ɪt/verb

To pocket a creator: paste their channel, a playlist or a video, and a guruling starts learning from it.

Your pocket is where your gurulings live.

“I pocketed three history channels before breakfast.”

Questions

What can I pocket?

Any public YouTube channel, playlist or single video, or a YouTube search. Paste the link or type the words, and Guruling lists the videos. You choose which ones it learns from, now or later.

How does it learn?

It reads each video’s captions, one video at a time, right in your browser tab. Keep the tab open while it learns. If you close it, learning pauses, and everything it has learned stays.

What about new videos?

Every time you open a guruling, it checks its channels and playlists for new videos and shows you what’s new. A search looks again when you ask it to.

When can I talk to it?

Soon. Turn on “Tell me when I can talk to it” on a guruling’s page, and we’ll let you know when talking opens.
