Instantly generate concise summaries of YouTube videos by leveraging transcripts and advanced AI. This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching video transcripts and feeding them into an LLM-powered summarization chain.
About This Workflow
Navigate YouTube content more efficiently with this powerful n8n workflow. It intelligently retrieves full transcripts of any specified YouTube video using SearchAPI, consolidates the text, and then employs a sophisticated Langchain summarization chain with an OpenRouter LLM. The workflow includes text splitting capabilities to ensure even very long videos can be accurately summarized, delivering actionable insights without the need to watch entire videos. Perfect for researchers, marketers, or anyone needing quick content overviews and enhanced productivity.
Key Features
