How It Works
The workflow initiates by receiving a YouTube Video ID. It then efficiently fetches the video's existing metadata and extracts its captions in SRT format. These raw captions are then passed to an advanced AI model (Google Gemini), orchestrated by LangChain, which intelligently processes the transcript to identify key topics and generate accurate time-stamped chapters. Finally, these newly created chapters are automatically appended to the video's description on YouTube, making your content more accessible and engaging for your audience.
