Automate YouTube Video Summaries with n8n and AI
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly summarize new YouTube videos. This workflow uses n8n to detect new uploads via RSS, extract video details, leverage AI for concise summaries, and log everything into a Google Sheet.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for automating the summarization of YouTube videos. It begins by monitoring a specified YouTube channel's RSS feed for new video publications. Upon detecting a new video, it extracts essential metadata, including the video ID, to fetch detailed information using the YouTube Data API. The core of the automation lies in utilizing an AI model (OpenAI GPT) to generate concise summaries from the video's title and description. Finally, the workflow seamlessly logs the video's title, a generated summary, its URL, and publication date into a Google Sheet for easy tracking and analysis.
