I wrote something similar using python if anyone is interested:

I also made a YouTube video about it and summarized it using the tool:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WtMrp2hp94E

> The video demonstrates how to use open AI's speech to text model, ChaiGPT, and Librosa to automate the process of summarizing YouTube videos. The tool can provide both long and short summaries of the videos and is best suited for videos with a lot of audio. The examples given in the video include summaries of a video on stretching and a conversation on AI alignment and the future of AI



That's nifty but not really what I want from a summary. I learned what the video is about, but I didn't learn the things I would learn by watching.

If the AI could be prompted to give a transcript minus the usual chatty fluff, that would be perfect.


The code + prompts is all open sourced so of course you could modify it to your liking, it was a fun weekend project and nothing more


Well thanks for doing it! I'll experiment with the prompts first, if it works out I might do that.


Or better yet, convert the transcript into a well-structured article.


You can just paste the URL to gemini.google.com with prompt "Summarize this video."


Ah didn’t know that, definitely was not possible when I made the video, but also it’s fun to hack these things together :)


Definitely a useful learning experience either way. Thanks for taking the time to share what you learned with others :)
