With Patchworks, you can find content that's relevant to your video and you can get specific about what you are looking for.

Scroll up/down for new topics, left/right for new videos on the same topics. Would love to see what people think!

Can you share some examples of what you'd use this for? Or what you could do with this?

Well, I watched the video, but I still have to admit I don't have the slightest idea what this would be used for or what your demo is showing me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Think about it like Perplexity for YouTube. It will surface relevant parts of videos that are centered around your search query. It doesn't just give you the entire video itself.
