What is Open CLAW Knowledge Distiller?

Open CLAW Knowledge Distiller（龍蝦知識蒸餾器，kd）is an open-source CLI tool and MCP server built for the Open CLAW AI agent ecosystem. It converts YouTube, Bilibili, and Facebook videos into structured knowledge articles — automatically, locally, and for free.

How it works:

If the video has subtitles → extracts them directly (no transcription needed, faster)
If no subtitles → downloads audio and transcribes locally with Qwen3-ASR MLX on Apple Silicon (no API key, no cloud cost)
Optionally generates a multi-layer AI summary: one-sentence essence + key points + cleaned transcript

Who is it for?

Researchers and students who need to digest hours of video content quickly
AI agent users (Claude Code / Open CLAW 龍蝦) who want to process videos programmatically
Anyone who wants structured notes from videos without watching them in full

Features

Feature	Details
🎙️ Local ASR	Qwen3-ASR MLX runs entirely on-device (Apple Silicon). No API key, no cloud, free forever.
📝 Smart subtitle detection	Auto-detects existing subtitles — skips ASR for faster processing
🤖 AI summarization	Supports Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic as summary providers
🎨 8 summary styles	Standard, Academic, Action List, News Brief, Investment Analysis, Podcast Digest, ELI5, Bullet Notes
🔌 MCP Server	Connect from Claude Code, Open CLAW, or any MCP-compatible AI agent
🌏 Multilingual	Cantonese (粵語), Mandarin, English, Japanese, Korean, and 50+ languages
⚡ Zero API key mode	`--no-summary`: pure local transcription, no external services needed
