Any taskOn demand · Gemini video understanding

Watch a video and pull the useful parts

Use case

You want the argument of a video without scrubbing the timeline. You hand OpenClaw a file, a Telegram upload, a YouTube link, or a direct video URL. Gemini watches it and returns the summary, the moments worth keeping, and the lines you might say on camera.

What to connect

A Gemini API key with video understanding enabled. Telegram if you want to drop videos in chat.

Setup

  1. Set VIDEO_UNDERSTANDING_MODEL to a Gemini AI model that accepts video.
  2. Confirm a short local file and a YouTube URL both return a summary.
  3. Save the prompt as video-watch.
  4. Ask for key moments once and confirm the timestamps match the video, not a guessed outline.

Edit before you send: The Gemini model id, and how you want key moments formatted.

Prompt to paste into OpenClaw

Save this as a skill named video-watch. Use Gemini video understanding with [VIDEO MODEL]. Accept: - A local file path. - A video I upload in Telegram. - A YouTube URL. - A direct video URL. Watch the video. Return: - A summary of what is in it. - Key moments with timestamps. - Talking points, if I am reviewing my own cut, a competitor's video, or an interview. If the file is too large or the URL will not load, say what failed. Do not summarize from the title alone. Send the write-up in the same chat I used to ask. Do not cross-post it.

More OpenClaw prompts

  • Personal CRM from mail and calendar

    A year of email and meetings is a pile of names you cannot search. OpenClaw reads Gmail and Google Calendar, drops newsletters and cold pitches, and keeps a local profile for each person worth remembering. You ask in plain language who you know at a company, or who has gone quiet.

  • Meeting action items with an approval queue

    Meetings end and the promises disappear. OpenClaw waits until a meeting is over, pulls the Fathom transcript, matches the room to your CRM, and sends you each action item to approve. Approved items become Todoist tasks. Things other people owe you stay on a waiting-on list, except people on your own team.

  • Urgent email, only when it can wait no longer

    You do not live in the inbox, including on weekends. OpenClaw checks mail on a timer, ignores senders you have already marked as noise, and pings a Telegram topic only when something needs you now. When you say an alert was wrong, the next check is stricter.

  • Knowledge base you fill from a Telegram topic

    Links you meant to remember are scattered across chats. You drop a URL into one Telegram topic. OpenClaw saves the article, the video transcript, the full post thread, or the PDF, then you ask later in plain language. A new save can point at something you already kept.
