YouTube Captions Memory

YouTube Captions Memory lets Hana ingest caption tracks from YouTube videos and use that text as searchable memory context.

What You Can Do

  • Add a YouTube video URL as a memory source.
  • Choose the caption language track to ingest.
  • Add optional use-case instructions for retrieval behavior.
  • Sync, retry, abort, delete, and search ingested YouTube memory batches.

Supported Input

  • youtube.com and youtu.be video URLs.
  • Valid caption tracks for the selected language.

How to Ingest

  1. Open Memory in Hana Dashboard.
  2. Select the YouTube Memory tab.
  3. Click Add YouTube Captions Memory.
  4. Enter:
    • YouTube link
    • Caption Language (optional advanced field)
    • Use case instructions (optional)
  5. Confirm submission and monitor ingestion status until INGESTED.

Operational Actions

After creation, the row actions support standard memory lifecycle controls:

  • Sync to refresh captions.
  • Retry if ingestion failed.
  • Abort while ingestion is running.
  • Delete completed/errored batches.

Tips

  • Prefer videos with reliable caption tracks for best results.
  • Use explicit language selection when videos provide multiple caption options.
  • Add concise use-case instructions when you want Hana to focus on a specific extraction style (for example, “summarize tactical steps only”).
