Please check out Summary Cat (https://www.summarycat.com). It uses OpenAI's GPT-3.5 to summarize YouTube transcripts.
Please note that it only works for
- *English* videos.
- videos that are not too long in length.

Tech Stack
- Frontend: HTML/CSS
- Backend: Python/Flask
APIs: - For grabbing YouTube's transcripts: I used youtube-transcript-api (https://pypi.org/project/youtube-transcript-api/)
- For summarizing the transcripts: I used OpenAI's GPT-3.5-turbo-16k: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/gpt.
- I used GPT-3.5 because GPT-4 is quite a lot more expensive (roughly 10X).
My Prompt (Super Simple!) - "please summarize the following text into a few paragraphs:" + the full transcript.
Thoughts about GPT-4 vs GPT-3.5-Turbo-16k for Summary Cat - GPT-4 was 20% better for "summary quality"
- GPT-4 feels 50% faster
- However, GPT-4 is about 10X as expensive as GPT-3.5
- Winner: GPT-3.5-Turbo-16k
