Features

• get_transcript: Fetch transcript for a YouTube video by video ID
• summarize_transcript: Summarize a transcript using the LLM

Installation

pip install "gptme-youtube[youtube]"

Or add to your gptme plugin paths in gptme.toml:

Usage

Once installed, the youtube tool is automatically available in gptme sessions.

Ask gptme to fetch a transcript:

Or call the functions directly in a Python block:

transcript = get_transcript("dQw4w9WgXcQ")

print(summary)

You can also use a youtube code block with a video ID:
