I'm not sure if this is a mistake or intended behaviour but the AI Assistant provided links for videos are going to a membership links rather than youtube videos

🤖 In the meantime, here’s a response from the [FEDEVEL AI HW Assistant]().
It helps to find relevant resources for your question, but it may make mistakes as it’s still in early development.

This is the response from the AI Assistant:
The links you're seeing pointing to portal.fedevel.com are intentional - this is the platform's dedicated video portal for course members and community content. While some free content exists there, full access requires a Fedevel Academy membership.

This implementation appears in multiple videos where:
1. Access-controlled features are demonstrated (like browser-based circuit simulation tools requiring membership)
2. Course materials are referenced
3. Community-exclusive content is shared

For example, in the ESP32 video they mention: *"If you want to make it unlisted, then you have to be a club member. Otherwise, it's just public"* [source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7dLSCKKRnU&t=3673).

The system is working as designed - the AI uses Fedevel's internal video portal links rather than YouTube URLs to:
- Track video engagement
- Provide direct access to supplemental materials
- Maintain membership benefits

Free YouTube versions exist for many (but not all) videos, but the AI specifically references the portal versions as its knowledge source.

It is free to watch on our portal. You have two options. You can watch it on youtube - you can read the url (there is name of the video and you can search it on youtube) or you can register on our portal and you can watch the same video but without advertisements. Our basic membership is free https://fedevel.com/community

This is really good feature Wow
but It would be great if you can have a chat history or atleast be able to save chat locally to retrieve or continue on later
I was going over the reference videos in one of the chats and I think I closed the tab by mistake and the chat is gone

i sent this to our software engineer as a good suggestion. thank you

and I am very happy to hear that you find it useful. I often use it to search through my videos and to find specific minute inside of the video to answer my or someone elses question

Yes the video referencing feature is what really sets it apart from all other models love it
