Unlock Instant Video Insights with this AI YouTube Summarizer Agent

Stop spending hours watching YouTube videos to find the information you need. This AI Agent is your personal YouTube content analyst. Provide a video URL, and it springs into action: fetching the transcript, employing OpenAI's gpt-4o-mini via Langchain to perform a deep analysis, and generating a concise, structured summary in markdown. It's built for founders, researchers, and anyone who needs to digest video content efficiently and stay ahead.

Key Features & AI Abilities

  • Automated Transcription: Seamlessly pulls full video transcripts without manual effort using the n8n-nodes-youtube-transcription.youtubeTranscripter node.
  • Intelligent Content Analysis (Ability: Video Summarization & Analysis): Leverages OpenAI's gpt-4o-mini model (via Langchain integration) to understand video content, identify main topics, extract key concepts, and structure information logically based on a detailed prompt.
  • Structured Markdown Summaries: Delivers summaries formatted with headers, bullet points, and highlighted key terms. Ideal for easy reading and integration into notes or reports.
  • Webhook Trigger & Response: Integrates smoothly into your existing toolkit via a simple POST request, returning the detailed analysis directly.
  • Telegram Notifications: Get instant alerts on Telegram with the video title and link once processing is complete.
  • Boost Productivity: Drastically reduce time spent on video consumption, allowing you to focus on action and strategy.

Use Cases

  • B2C E-commerce: Quickly analyze competitor product review videos or influencer content for market insights and content strategy.
  • B2B SaaS Founders: Summarize industry conference talks, product demos, or competitor feature announcements to stay agile and informed.
  • Content Creators/Solopreneurs: Generate concise summaries from their own long-form videos for show notes, blog posts, or social media teasers, maximizing content reach.
  • CTOs & Technical Leads: Rapidly evaluate technical tutorials or deep-dive videos to assess new technologies or for team knowledge sharing.
  • Heads of Automation: Discover new automation ideas or best practices by quickly summarizing relevant YouTube tech talks and presentations.

Prerequisites

  • An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
  • The n8n-nodes-youtube-transcription.youtubeTranscripter community node installed in your n8n instance. (It typically works for public video transcripts without a separate API key).
  • YouTube API Credentials: For the 'Get YouTube Video' node (n8n's built-in YouTube node) to fetch video details like title and description.
  • OpenAI API Key: With access to the gpt-4o-mini model (or a compatible model configured in the Langchain 'gpt-4o-mini' node).
  • Telegram Bot API Key and Chat ID: For sending notifications.

Setup Instructions

  1. Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
  2. Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
  3. Ensure you have the n8n-nodes-youtube-transcription.youtubeTranscripter community node installed from the community nodes marketplace in n8n.
  4. Configure the 'Get YouTube Video' node: Select or create your YouTube API credentials. This node fetches video metadata.
  5. Configure the 'gpt-4o-mini' node (which is an OpenAI LLM via Langchain): Select or create your OpenAI credentials. Ensure the model (e.g., gpt-4o-mini) is correctly set and accessible with your API key.
  6. Review the prompt in the 'Summarize & Analyze Transcript' (Langchain Chain) node: You can customize the summarization guidelines here if needed.
  7. Configure the 'Telegram' node: Add your Telegram Bot API Key and the destination Chat ID for receiving notifications.
  8. Note the Webhook URL from the 'Webhook' node (under the 'Test URL' or 'Production URL' tab after saving). Activate the workflow.
  9. Trigger the workflow by sending a POST request to the Webhook URL with a JSON body like: {"youtubeUrl": "YOUR_YOUTUBE_VIDEO_URL"}.
