YouTube Videos with AI Summaries on Discord

Target Audience

Content Creators: Those who regularly upload videos on YouTube and want to engage their audience on platforms like Discord.
- Marketers: Individuals looking to promote videos effectively and summarize content for quick consumption.
- Community Managers: People managing Discord servers who want to keep their community informed about new video content.

Problem Solved

This workflow automates the process of notifying Discord users about new YouTube videos by summarizing the content. It addresses the challenge of keeping audiences engaged without requiring them to watch full videos, thereby enhancing content accessibility and viewer retention.

Workflow Steps

YouTube Video Trigger: The workflow starts with monitoring a specified YouTube channel for new videos every minute.
2. Retrieve Caption Data: Once a new video is detected, the workflow retrieves the caption data using the YouTube API, ensuring that the video has English captions available.
3. Find English Captions: The workflow filters out the captions to find the English version, ensuring that the summary is relevant to the target audience.
4. Download Captions: The English captions are downloaded for further processing.
5. Caption File Conversion: The downloaded caption file is converted into a text format for easy summarization.
6. Caption Summary with ChatGPT: The converted text is then summarized into three bullet points using OpenAI's GPT-3.5-turbo model, making it concise and informative.
7. Post to Discord: Finally, the summary, along with a link to the video, is posted to a designated Discord channel, alerting users about the new content.
