I’m looking for good tools to get AI summaries of YouTube videos preferably open source solutions that I can self-host or at least trust with my privacy.
AI-related discussions and AI-involved promotional posts have additional requirements for tagging, as noted in Rule 7 and the AI & Promotional Post Expanded Rules post, and find example disclosures here.

My brain?
Man, that is so outdated! /s
My brain gets daily updates.
I have a few issues to report
Send them to your manufacturer.
Please open a ticket.
Never got a reponse so I just apply a workaround everyday
I feel that. It’s a constant detour.
Hook up the TikTok repos and you’ll get downgrades every 20 seconds.

Just forget about the videos you want to summarize and (optionally) eat a cheeseburger instead. I came up with this solution myself. It works instantly, with 0 dependencies, and has a 0% fail rate. It is my intellectual property though, so please pay me $19.99 per day until you get tired of not summarizing youtube videos. Cheeseburgers are not included, btw.

I’ve used Fabric to summarize the transcriptions. I believe it works with Ollama and local models.
thank you
I use yt-dlp to download the audio from a YouTube video and then use MacWhisper to transcribe, and summarize the audio. Not sure what a windows or linux equivalent of MacWhisper would be
thank you, do you do this manually or do you use a script?
I do it so infrequently that I just do it manually. Sometimes my friends send too many YouTube links in our group chat. I care enough to respond to them but not enough to watch them all if it’s going to take up a good chunk of my day to do so.
Kagi Summarizer (not FOSS, though).
thank you my friend
