Stop watching long videos, start listening to concise summaries.

This workflow transforms any YouTube video URL sent via Telegram into a high-quality, spoken audio summary (MP3) and a structured text overview. It acts as your personal AI research assistant, turning lengthy content into bite-sized audio files that you can consume on the go.

It leverages Decodo for robust transcript extraction, OpenAI for intelligent summarization, and for realistic text-to-speech generation.


✨ Features

  • Telegram-First Interface: Send links and receive audio directly in your chat app.
  • Smart Validation: Automatically checks if the link is a valid YouTube URL before processing to save API credits.
  • Multi-Language Support: Easily configure the output language (English, Spanish, German, etc.) via a simple Config node. The AI will translate and speak in this language.
  • Robust Error Handling: Gracefully handles videos with no captions/transcripts by notifying the user instead of breaking the workflow.
  • Structured Data Extraction: Uses AI to extract the Genre, Title, and Summary alongside the audio file.

βš™οΈ How it Works

  1. Trigger: You send a YouTube URL to your Telegram Bot.
  2. Validate: The workflow checks the URL pattern using Regex.
  3. Extract: Decodo scrapes the video page to retrieve the full transcript JSON.
  4. Process: A Code node flattens the complex JSON into a readable text format.
  5. Summarize: OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini) analyzes the text and writes a script optimized for listening.
  6. Speak: OpenAI converts the script into a high-definition MP3 file.
  7. Deliver: The bot replies with the Audio File and a formatted text summary including the genre tags and original link.

This workflow is highly flexible and can be modified for various content tasks:

  • Change AI Model: Easily swap the OpenAI Chat Model node with an OpenAI or Anthropic (Claude) node without altering the core logic.
  • Create Long-Form Drafts: Modify the AI System Prompt to generate a full 1,000-word blog post draft or a set of social media updates instead of a short audio script.
  • Change Destination: Replace the Telegram nodes with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Email (Gmail/SMTP), or Discord to deliver the audio and summary to your preferred channel.
  • Create an Archive: Connect the successful output to a Google Sheets or Airtable node to keep a searchable archive of every video summary created.
