I quite like to grab the transcript from youtube and ask chatgpt to give me the key points.

What is your workflow for this?

I recently described a manual workflow that includes extracting comments and combining them with the transcript using a system prompt.

I’m curious how others are approaching this.

YouTube generates a transcript that’s on the sidebar (above the recommended videos). It is kind of broken text though, so I copy and paste the block into Gemini (it’s free and has a huge context) and ask it to read it and generate the points for me
