Who is this template for?

This template is for learners, researchers, students and professionals who want to quickly capture the essence of a YouTube video.

Steps in the workflow:

  • Gets the transcript from any YouTube video through Supadata.
  • Process the result from Supadata to one text
  • Process the text with AI (any LLM of your choice)

Final result: Produces a summary accompanied with the most important lessons and interesting facts mentioned in the video.

The workflow automatically creates a new Google Doc wiht this output, in a folder of your choice on your Google Drive.

(If you want to convert the markdown text to real markup after the Google Doc is created: just select all text (Ctrl-A or CMD-A), Cut the text (Ctrl-X or CMD-X and then go to Edit > Paste from Markdown.)

Setup

  • Edit your Supadata credentials in the second node (you can start for free)
  • Choose your favourite LLM for AI processing
  • Edit your Google Drive credentials.

How to adjust it to your needs

  • If you want the outcome to be different, edit the Prompt in "Proces transcript to summary template".
  • The file name is a combination of ‘transcript ‘ and the date and time. You can change this to whatever you need in the Google Drive node.
  • Supadata offers more details and options (or even translation) when working with transcripts. Check the options here: https://supadata.ai/documentation/youtube/get-transcript
