• mediumcomparison#2

  Add a 'Why VideoRAG?' or 'Comparison' section to differentiate from generic RAG tools.

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Add a new section to the README, for example: `## 💡 Why VideoRAG? Unlike general RAG frameworks or vector databases, VideoRAG is specifically engineered for the unique challenges of video content. It provides specialized indexing, retrieval, and multi-modal integration techniques to enable accurate, long-context understanding directly from video, making it ideal for building applications that converse intelligently with visual media.`
