  Summary page for a YT video about TailOS by fireship

Inspiration

Being too lazy to watch the videos some of my professors put on Canvas.

What it does

Summarizes the transcripts of YouTube videos using DaVinci 3.

How we built it

We use HTML and CSS to build the website and Javascript to give the website function. DaVinci 3 was used to generate the summaries.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the GPT API to be called was a problem we ran into for a couple hours. After getting it to work, the API would spit out a summary unrelated to the input video. Longer videos can go over the token limit and cause the program to encounter an error.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Designing a well-functioning and easy to use website. Implementing the DaVinci 3 API to generate summaries.

What we learned

How to use the GPT API and how to include Javascript in an HTML file

What's next for YTSummary

Allowing longer YouTube videos and possibly movies to be summarized as well. Being able to re-summarize longer summaries.
