bibi

$2b

Detect 402 deterministically: the bibi CLI prints a stable marker line

[HTTP/402 Payment Required] to stderr before any human-readable prompt; direct

HTTP callers get status 402 + Payment-Needed header. When either signal

appears, route to references/billing-aipay.md instead of treating the call

as failed.

Intent Routing

Route the user's request to the appropriate workflow:

User Intent

Workflow

Summarize a video/audio URL

→ workflows/quick-summary.md

Chapter-by-chapter breakdown, detailed analysis

→ workflows/deep-dive.md

Get subtitles, extract transcript, raw text

→ workflows/transcript-extract.md

Turn into article, blog post, 公众号图文, 小红书

→ workflows/article-rewrite.md

Process multiple URLs, batch summarize

→ workflows/batch-process.md

Research a topic across multiple videos

→ workflows/research-compile.md

Save to Notion, Obsidian, export notes

→ workflows/export-notes.md

Analyze visual content, slides, on-screen text

→ workflows/visual-analysis.md

Check current account, plan, or remaining minutes

→ workflows/account-check.md

Browse / search saved videos, "what have I summarized"

→ workflows/library-browse.md

Manage channel subscriptions, list/sub/unsub, RSS preview

→ workflows/channels-manage.md

What's new across my subscriptions, latest feed, daily digest

→ workflows/feed-latest.md

Manage collections, list/create/share saved videos as a set

→ workflows/collections-manage.md

Manage personal notes on saved videos, edit summaries

→ workflows/notes-manage.md

Generate mindmap, visual analysis, custom-prompt summary, Notion export, collection chat

→ workflows/advanced-tools.md

HTTP 402 / "需要付款" / Alipay AI 钱包 / no token + China user

→ references/billing-aipay.md

Disambiguation

• If the user's intent matches more than one workflow, ask one clarifying question before routing.

• If it matches none, ask what they are trying to accomplish. Do not guess.

• If the user just pastes a URL with no context, default to workflows/quick-summary.md.

Local File Support

The bibi CLI directly accepts local file paths (no upload needed):

bibi summarize "/path/to/video.mp4"

bibi summarize "/path/to/podcast.mp3"

For API mode (no CLI), guide the user to upload the file to a publicly accessible URL (OSS, S3, etc.) first, then pass that URL to the API. See references/supported-platforms.md for details.

Direct CLI Operations

Use progressive help to discover options: bibi --help → bibi summarize --help → run.

For simple, single-command requests that don't need a full workflow:

bibi summarize "<URL>"              # Quick summary (URL or local file path)

bibi summarize "<URL>" --chapter    # Chapter summary

bibi summarize "<URL>" --subtitle   # Transcript only

bibi summarize "<URL>" --json       # Full JSON response

bibi auth check                     # Check auth status

bibi me                             # Get account, plan, remaining minutes

bibi commands                       # List all manifest-driven commands

See references/cli.md for all commands and flags.
