fun fact i just sent some money to someone offering to do youtube shorts for me so we might try to do this. honeslty i dont think shorts is conducive to deep conversation or technical topics tho. pple watch with their brain off
I’ve had some pretty remarkable results pasting lecture transcripts from youtube into gpt4 and getting well formatted/relevant markdown summaries from meandering and mis-transcribed content! Needs chunking up but surprisingly effective. It can even generate youtube urls with the right timestamps if you ask it nicely
There’s also a python api for getting the transcript from a given youtube video id so you can script the whole thing
It's less configurable than what you're describing, but I've found this useful in at least determining if a given video has the content I'm looking for: https://www.summarize.tech/
