I Built a YouTube Research Copilot

Tired of spending hours watching long YouTube videos just to find a few key points? I'll show you the life hack I use to save hours every week: An AI assistant that automatically watches and summarizes any public YouTube video for you. We'll build a powerful automated workflow from scratch using three amazing tools: n8n, Google's Gemini API and OpenAI's API. You don't need to be a pro coder to follow along. This is your guide to building a machine that reads videos for you and everybody can do it. 🤖 In this video, you will learn how to: - Set up a simple form to input multiple YouTube video URLs. - Automatically get the full transcript of any public video using the Gemini API. - Combine multiple transcripts into a single document. - Use the OpenAI AI to create a high-signal, executive summary of the content. - Save the final summary as a text file directly to your Dropbox. 🛠️ Tools Mentioned: - n8n (Workflow Automation): https://n8n.io/ - Google AI Studio (for Gemini API Key): https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/video-understanding?authuser=1#rest_2 - OpenAI (for Summary API Key): https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys --- TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - The Problem: Too Many Videos, Not Enough Time 00:48 - The Final AI Workflow (Full Overview) 02:00 - Step 1: Creating a Form to Enter URLs 02:50 - Step 2: Splitting the URLs for Processing 04:29 - Step 3: Connecting to the Gemini API 06:37 - Step 4: Combining Transcripts into One Document 07:05 - Step 5: Creating the Final Summary with AI 08:14 - Step 6: Saving the Summary to Dropbox 09:57 - Final Thoughts & The Future of Watching Content --- 🖥️ Official Website & Courses https://academind.com/courses/ 💬 Academind Community https://academind.com/community 👋 Social Media https://twitter.com/maxedapps https://twitter.com/academind_real https://www.instagram.com/academind_real/ https://www.facebook.com/academindchannel/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/maximilian-schwarzmueller/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/manuel-lorenz-808b5185/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/academind-gmbh https://www.linkedin.com/school/academind-pro https://www.tiktok.com/@academind_real
