Summarize YouTube Videos & Chat About Content with GPT-4o-mini via Telegram Description This n8n workflow automates the process of summarizing YouTube video transcripts and enables users to interact with the content through AI-powered question answering via Telegram. It leverages the GPT-4o-mini model to generate summaries and provide insights based on the video’s transcript. How It Works Input: The workflow starts by receiving a YouTube video URL. This can be submitted through: A Telegram chat message. A webhook (e.g., triggered by a shortcut on Apple devices). Transcript Extraction: The URL is processed to extract the video transcript using the custom youtubeTranscripter community node (available here). The transcript is concatenated into a single text and stored in a Google Docs document. Summarization: The GPT-4o-mini AI model analyzes the transcript and generates a structured summary, including: A general overview. Key moments. Instructions (if applicable). The summary is then sent back to the user via Telegram. Interactive Q&A: Users can ask questions about the video content via Telegram. The AI retrieves the stored transcript from Google Docs and provides accurate, context-based answers, which are sent back through Telegram. Setup Instructions To configure this workflow, follow these steps: Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON template and import it into your n8n instance. Install the Community Node: Install the youtubeTranscripter community node via npm: npm install n8n-nodes-youtube-transcription-kasha Important: This node requires a self-hosted n8n instance due to its external dependencies.
