summarize.tech uses GPT3 to summarize long YouTube videos, like lectures, live events, or government meetings into an easy-to-read summary with timestamps linking to the relevant parts of the video.

Hey - thanks for checking out summarize.tech. This is a little app I built over the past few weekends that summarizes long-form YouTube videos. I find it really useful for staying up-to-date with what's happening with my town government, and rapidly deciding whether a long tech talk is worth watching on YouTube. This was built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3 (and the logo was drawn by its cousin, DALL-E). Other tools I used include Gitpod, Next.js, Firebase Auth, Dagster, MySQL and React-Bootstrap. Someday I'll probably clean up the code and open-source this. Right now it's pretty barebones. In the future I hope to add some additional features, like an embedded player and neural text-to-speech to create short podcasts from the long-form video. There is a paid version for $10/mo. This is mostly to offset the cost of the GPT-3 API, which can be significant. Do you have any ideas for new features? Find any bugs? Let me know!

@floydophone Congrats on the launch 🚀

This is an amazing tool, looking forward to using it. Many of the summaries begin with some variation of "in this video/summary/excerpt.."--feels redundant and could be pulled out for succinctness.
