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!
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.
