Creating a Mongoose Model

The video tutorial guides viewers through creating a new Mongoose model for tasks, defining its fields, creating an instance, and saving it to a database. It covers the use of the save method, handling promises, and testing the task creation by viewing data in Robo 3T. The tutorial also explains Mongoose's naming conventions for models, including automatic pluralization and lowercase conversion.
