Post Node (YouTube & more)
Bring videos and social posts onto the canvas — transcripts and content are fetched automatically.
Last updated: July 6, 2026
The Post Node embeds a video or social post on your canvas and fetches its transcript or content, so connected chats can discuss it.
Originally YouTube-only, this node now supports YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn URLs. Existing YouTube nodes migrate automatically — the type ID and this page's URL are unchanged.
Adding a post
- Double-click the canvas and choose the Post icon. The empty node shows "Add a post URL" with the hint "Supports YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn"
- Paste the URL of a video or post
- The node auto-detects the platform and loads an embedded player or post preview
Use the open-external button on the node to view the original in your browser.
Transcripts and content
- For videos, the transcript is fetched automatically after the post loads
- The node shows a processing state while content is being retrieved
- If fetching fails, the node shows a failed state with a retry option
Transcript availability depends on the platform and the post — some videos have no captions to fetch. Retry, or try a different link for the same content.
Chatting about a post
Connect the post node to a chat node (or @-mention it). The transcript or post content flows in as context, so you can summarize, quote, or analyze it. See Connections.
Use cases
- Research — collect conference talks and interviews on a topic and ask a connected chat to extract the key claims from each.
- Writing — quote accurately from a video by working from its transcript instead of your memory.
- Studying — paste a lecture or tutorial video and generate notes, summaries, and flashcard-style questions.
- Content creation — analyze a viral post or video's structure and hooks, then draft your own take in a branch chat.
- Planning — gather product reviews and walkthrough videos when evaluating tools, and let the AI compare what they say.
