## Example Workflow

A typical workflow with Transfer Learning might look like this:

1. **Process a video** to extract frames and analyze content:
   ```bash theme={null}
   transfer-learning process-video tutorial.mp4
   ```

2. **Generate a guide** from the processed data:
   ```bash theme={null}
   transfer-learning generate-guide data/tutorial
   ```

3. **View the generated guide** in your preferred format (markdown, HTML, etc.)

For YouTube videos, you can combine these steps:

```bash theme={null}
transfer-learning youtube-guide "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"
```

## Architecture

Transfer Learning follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:

</Frame>

The pipeline consists of several key components:

1. **Input Handling**: Processing local videos or downloading from YouTube
2. **Frame Extraction**: Extracting frames at configurable intervals
3. **Content Analysis**: Analyzing frame content using AI vision models
4. **Audio Transcription**: Transcribing audio using Whisper models
5. **Guide Generation**: Generating structured guides from analyzed content
6. **Output Formatting**: Formatting guides in various output formats
