WikiTree emailed me about the latest WikiTree #SaturdayRoundup (1 Feb 2025). I copied that URL and then gave Gemini AI (1.5 Flash) the following prompt:
Summarize this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6L3Qhfddks
Gemini: This video is a live stream from WikiTree. The hosts discuss the member of the week, Don Watson, who is involved in several projects, including the US Southern Colonist Project and the Appalachia Project. They also discuss profile makeovers and how to add links to Find a Grave profiles. The hosts then share their connections to Tim Hortons, Bob Dylan, Greta Garbo, and Thelonius Monk. They also celebrate their ancestors and share photos of their pets. Finally, they discuss upcoming events, such as the RootsTech conference and the Hall of Fame.
My follow up: Provide details on their discussion of the RootsTech conference and the Hall of Fame.
Gemini: The hosts discuss upcoming events, such as the RootsTech conference and the Hall of Fame. They mention that RootsTech is coming up next month. They also mention that the Hall of Fame is on Friday and that they will be switching off each week between musicians and actors. This week is the host's week, so they will be doing the Hollywood Walk of Fame or the Rock and Roll Museum. They are open to suggestions for anyone who wants to DM them.
My follow up: Describe details on their discussion of profile makeovers and how to add links to Find a Grave profiles.
Gemini: The hosts discuss profile makeovers and how to add links to Find a Grave profiles. They mention that they are starting a new month and will be doing a theme-based profile makeover. They are thinking of using the Valentine name or surname, or honoring a loved one with a profile. They then show an example of a profile makeover they did for Spicy Jane Atkins Frey, who was a founding member of the McCoy Time Singers. They also discuss how to add links to Find a Grave profiles. They explain that you can leave a flower and a comment with the WikiTree ID, but you should not leave a direct link. They also mention that you can sponsor a Find a Grave profile to remove advertising.
