Pipeline walkthrough
How leapedge.clip works.
Every analysis runs the same six-stage pipeline. Fast-model triage, smarter-model synthesis, and a self-critique pass before anything reaches your dashboard.
- 01stage
Paste — any YouTube link
Drop a watch link, share link, or shorts URL. We read the title and channel from YouTube's oEmbed API — nothing to configure on your end.
- 02stage
Transcribe — captions first, audio fallback
Three caption sources are tried in order. If all three come up empty — creator-blocked, language mismatch, or no captions at all — our AI watches the video itself on Google's servers and writes down what it heard. No local download, no yt-dlp, no special setup.
- 03stage
Extract key points — fast model triage
A lightweight Gemini Flash-Lite model reads through the transcript and pulls out roughly ten key points from the video. Quick and cheap — its job is to give the next stage something focused to work with.
- 04stage
Draft insights — smarter model synthesis
A more capable reasoning model drafts the trading thesis: tickers, direction, conviction level, and a verbatim supporting quote for every claim. Every insight has to point to something the creator actually said — no paraphrasing.
- 05stage
Double-check — self-critique pass
A second pass audits each insight against its quote: does the quote actually support the claim, or did the model drift? Anything that doesn't hold up gets removed before your dashboard sees it.
- 06stage
Verify — every quote links to its timestamp
After the double-checking pass, each quote is matched against transcript segments to find the exact moment in the video. Click any quote in the analysis view and you land right at that second.
