We’ve made a small but meaningful change to how we organize videos: the old “Business and Finance” category is now two separate categories — “Business” and “Finance.”

Why this change?

  • Better summaries: separating the two helps our models produce more focused abstracts, key points, and examples.
  • Clearer routing: videos about company building, management, and strategy are handled differently than market analysis, investing, and macroeconomics.
  • Improved discovery: it’s easier to find and compare summaries within the domain you care about.

What’s changing

The combined category “Business and Finance” has been split into:

  • Business
  • Finance

Existing summaries mapped to the old category will gradually be re-labeled under one of the two new categories.

Examples

If you notice a video that would be better categorized, feel free to let us know—we’ll keep tuning the taxonomy so your summaries stay sharp and relevant.
