About Use Brain

An independent, searchable index of Jason Fladlien's YouTube channel — every video summarized, quoted, categorized, and fully transcribed.

What this is

Jason Fladlien's channel is one of the densest sources of webinar, offer, and sales strategy on the internet, from someone who has sold over $250 million in products. This library takes its name from Use Brain, the book Jason is writing. It's also hours and hours of video. The framework you need is usually a few minutes inside one video — and there's no good way to find it.

Use Brain fixes that. Every video gets a summary, key points, verbatim quotes with timestamps, a category, and its full transcript. You search by problem, skim the summary, ask the AI, and jump to the exact moment.

Built for marketers, coaches, course creators, and founders who'd rather sell than scrub through video.

How it's built

Every video goes through the same five-step pipeline:

1 · Enumerate
Pull the channel's full video list; filter out Shorts, clips, and re-uploads.
2 · Transcribe
Fetch the complete transcript from captions, with timing preserved, and store it in full alongside the video.
3 · Read
Process the full transcript — not the description, not the title — as source material.
4 · Write
Draft the summary, key points, and quote selections against a fixed editorial rubric.
5 · Validate
Check quotes against the transcript, verify timestamps, and normalize categories before publishing.

Where AI is used

  • AI drafts summaries, key points, and quote selections from full transcripts.
  • Scripts — not AI — handle episode enumeration, transcript fetching, timestamp math, and formatting.
  • Human judgment sets the editorial rubric, defines the categories, and decides what gets excluded.
  • Ask the Brain, on the Ask page, uses AI at question time, searching the full transcript of every indexed video and always citing sources with timestamps.
Transcripts come from video captions, which are imperfect — names get misspelled and crosstalk gets garbled. Validation catches most of it; the original video is the final authority.

What's left out

  • Shorts and clips — the same material exists in the full-length videos.
  • Sponsor reads and ad segments — cut from summaries entirely.
  • Small talk and housekeeping — trimmed, not summarized.
  • Episodes that fail transcription or validation — held back, not published half-done.

Partial exclusions (a trimmed quote, a cut segment) follow the rules in the editorial standards.
