Vpin converts passive video watching into structured, searchable learning with a four-step pipeline: curate intuitively (capture URLs or share links), AI extraction into time-stamped highlights and summaries (uses LLMs and OpenAI Whisper for transcription), Neo4j stores a navigable personal knowledge graph and powers real-time queries. Proof of concept shows 2.5 million user spaces, 15,000 curators and 20,000 VPins, and Neo4j handles millions of transactions to enable retrieval-augmented, on-demand one-page summaries.
