Summarize a YouTuber's latest video into a Google Doc daily
A Make scenario runs at 9 AM, finds a YouTuber's newest video, has Hugging Face summarize it, and appends the summary to a Google Doc.
Done withMake
- What they did
- The author built a five-module Make scenario. A scheduler fires daily at 9 AM. The YouTube module looks up Matthew Berman's channel handle and pulls his latest video's title and description. Hugging Face summarizes that text, with a configurable summary length. Two Google Docs modules then create or find a document and append the summary. One-time connections to YouTube, Hugging Face and Google Docs were needed.
- How it went
- The author says the daily check, copy and document steps no longer need doing by hand, leaving a summary to read each morning. No measured results are given. The summary covers only the title and description, not the video itself.
- Worth knowing
- The summarizer only sees the video's title and description text, not a transcript, so summary quality depends on how detailed the description is.
