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/
