The AI-Powered YouTube Video Summarizer: From Transcript to Social Media Posts

Ever wished you could quickly summarize YouTube videos and turn them into social media content without watching the entire thing? Well, you’re in luck! This guide will walk you through creating an automation that does just that – no coding required.

What You’ll Need

To build this automation, you’ll need:

1. A Make.com account
2. An OpenAI API key
3. A Google account
4. A Zero Code Kit account

The Automation Process

Here’s a high-level overview of how the automation works:

1. Input a YouTube URL into a Google Sheet
2. Extract the video transcript
3. Summarize the transcript
4. Generate social media posts
5. Create accompanying images

Let’s break it down step-by-step.

Step 1: Set Up Google Sheets Trigger

1. In Make.com, create a new scenario
2. Add a Google Sheets trigger module
3. Configure it to watch for new rows in your designated spreadsheet

Step 2: Extract Video Transcript

1. Add a ChatGPT module
2. Create a custom assistant with Python code to extract YouTube transcripts
3. Connect the Google Sheets output to this module

Step 3: Run Python Code

1. Add a Zero Code Kit module
2. Select “Run Python Code”
3. Use the output from the previous ChatGPT module as input

Step 4: Summarize the Transcript

1. Add another ChatGPT module
2. Create a custom assistant for summarizing video content
3. Use the output from the Zero Code Kit module as input

Step 5: Generate Social Media Posts

1. Add a Router module to split the workflow
2. For each social platform (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.):
   1. Add a ChatGPT module with a platform-specific assistant
   2. Use the summary as input to generate tailored posts

Step 6: Create Accompanying Images

1. Add a DALL-E 3 module
2. Use prompts based on the video summary to generate relevant images
3. Specify the correct aspect ratio for each platform

Step 7: Compile Results

1. Use Google Docs modules to compile the generated content
2. Create separate documents for summaries and social media posts

Bonus: Approval System

To add an extra layer of control:

1. Create a Google Sheet with columns for the YouTube URL, summary, and posts
2. Add an approval column where you can manually review and approve content
3. Use a Filter module in Make.com to only process approved rows
