What is Fabric?:
Fabric is an open-source framework designed to augment human capabilities using AI. It simplifies the interaction with large language models (LLMs) and allows users to apply AI to everyday challenges .
Integration with AI: Fabric builds on existing LLM models, making it easier to integrate AI into daily tasks. It offers a collection of pre-designed prompts, referred to as “patterns,” which guide the AI to produce optimal results .
Installation Process
- Prerequisites: Ensure Go is installed on your device. Use the terminal command go version to check .
- Homebrew Installation: Install Homebrew for package management on macOS using the command provided on the Homebrew website .
- Installing Go: After Homebrew is set up, install Go using the command brew install go .
- Installing Fabric: Use the command to install Fabric once Go is installed .
Using Fabric
Patterns and Prompts: Patterns are clear prompts that guide the AI. Users can create custom patterns and chain multiple prompts for complex workflows, such as extracting main ideas and writing essays .
YouTube Integration
- YT Helper Tool: Fabric can extract transcripts from YouTube videos, allowing users to summarize or analyze content easily .
- Streaming Feature: This feature allows users to see AI responses as they are generated, enhancing the interaction experience .
Practical Applications
- Content Summarization: Users can summarize YouTube videos or podcasts by extracting main ideas and insights .
- Creating Essays and Tweets: Fabric can generate essays, micro-essays, or tweets based on user input and patterns .
Future Integration
- Obsidian Integration: Future videos will discuss how to integrate Fabric with Obsidian for enhanced note-taking and content creation .
These structured notes provide a comprehensive overview of the podcast and the functionalities of the Fabric tool, highlighting key insights and practical applications for users looking to enhance their storytelling and AI integration skills.

Another very interesting tool that i came across other than Notebooklm was unstuck. You could take any youtube video on complex topics like Ai and LLMs, just add study.new/{youtube URL}, the app will generate a study note with references across the specific timelines on the video, which will allow you to listen to the original video via the Youtube URL. For instance copy this text and paste it on the browser window,
study.new/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH5JFW_4czc
From the context of Ambient listening workflows in Healthcare, we are progressing slowly to enabling a Doctor’s consultation room that has a set of video cameras directed towards the clinician and the patient. The outcome of the consultation will be a video that will be post-processed securely to generate the treatment and plan sections of the consultation.
You could create a visit summary “pattern” or “consultation note plan” pattern by providing elaborate system prompts and examples for tools such as fabric to generate the summary of the consultation. Further named entity recognition can be enabled with second level processing that will allow the nurse to enable the next steps for the patient. Most importantly, the patient will be able to go back to the “recording” at anytime and be able to get a clarity regarding the doctors recommendations and plan.
