YouTube Video Analyzer with AI

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically extracts the unique ID from a YouTube video URL, invokes the youtube-transcript.io API to retrieve the full transcript of the video, and leverages multiple AI language models—including OpenAI GPT-4o-mini, DeepSeek, and OpenRouter models—for in-depth analysis and structured summarization of the transcript content. The final analysis results are delivered to designated recipients via email. The key strength lies in the integration of advanced AI models to achieve precise and structured video content parsing, combined with convenient email delivery for quick access to video insights.
