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](https://github.com/destinyfrancis) AI agent ecosystem. It converts YouTube, Bilibili, and Facebook videos into structured knowledge articles — automatically, locally, and for free.

**How it works:**

1. If the video has subtitles → extracts them directly (no transcription needed, faster)
2. If no subtitles → downloads audio and transcribes locally with Qwen3-ASR MLX on Apple Silicon (no API key, no cloud cost)
3. 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
