How It Works
1. Trigger Input: The workflow is activated when a user provides a YouTube video ID, either via a chat message or an execution trigger from another workflow.
2. Variable Setup: Essential variables, including your Google API key and the video ID, are initialized.
3. Video Details Retrieval: It constructs a YouTube Data API URL and fetches comprehensive video details like title, description, and statistics.
4. Transcript Extraction: Simultaneously, the workflow uses a custom code node to retrieve the full transcript of the specified YouTube video.
5. Data Consolidation: Video details and transcript segments are merged and aggregated into a single JSON object.
6. AI Chatbot Interaction: The aggregated data is fed to an AI agent, powered by your chosen language model (e.g., GPT-4o-mini or DeepSeek-V3).
7. Smart Summarization & Analysis: The AI agent analyzes the transcript and video details based on a predefined system message, providing structured summaries, answering questions, and extracting key insights in markdown format.
8. Response: The AI's structured response is delivered back to the user or requesting system.
