How It Works
The workflow is triggered by a POST request to a webhook, providing a YouTube video URL. It then extracts the video ID and fetches metadata such as title and description from YouTube. Subsequently, the full video transcript is retrieved and consolidated into a single text block. This text is then passed to an AI model (OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini, orchestrated by LangChain) along with a detailed prompt to generate a structured, comprehensive summary. Finally, the AI-generated summary and video details are returned as a response to the initial webhook call and simultaneously sent as a notification to a specified Telegram chat.
