Automated Video Analysis: AI-Powered Insight Generation from Google Drive

Subtitle: From Google Drive Upload → Gemini AI → Video Insights

---

🌍 Overview

This workflow automates the analysis of videos stored in Google Drive.
It downloads a video, validates it, sends it to Google Gemini AI for analysis, and returns a structured summary of the content.

Think of it as your AI-powered video analyst that works on schedule.

🟢 Section 1: Trigger – Start the Workflow

🔗 Node: Schedule Trigger

• Runs the workflow automatically at a defined interval (e.g., daily).
• Eliminates the need to manually start each run.

💡 Why useful?
Keeps analysis consistent without human intervention.

---

🟦 Section 2: Download Video

🔗 Node: Download Video from Drive

• Connects to Google Drive.
• Fetches the video file you want to analyze.

💡 Why useful?
Pulls the raw video directly from storage → no manual download needed.

---

🟣 Section 3: Prepare for AI Analysis

🔗 Nodes:

• Basic LLM Chain → Prepares a structured prompt for Gemini.
• Google Gemini Chat Model → Defines Gemini as the AI engine for analysis.

💡 Why useful?
Ensures that Gemini gets both the video file + clear instructions on what to analyze (e.g., "Please provide a summary").

---

🟡 Section 4: Validate File Status

🔗 Node: Check File Status

• Confirms that the video file is uploaded and ready to be processed by Gemini’s API.

💡 Why useful?
Prevents wasted runs by making sure the file exists and is accessible before analysis.

---

🔵 Section 5: AI Video Analysis

🔗 Node: Analyze Video

• Sends the video file to Gemini (via API request).
• Asks Gemini to analyze and summarize the video.

💡 Why useful?
Extracts insights from video content automatically — no need to watch manually.

📩 Example Output:

"The video shows a product demo highlighting three features: speed, security, and collaboration. The speaker explains how the software reduces manual tasks. Ending includes a call to action for early sign-up."

🟠 Section 6: Format Results

🔗 Node: Format Analysis Result

• Structures the Gemini response into clean output.
• Makes it easy to forward results into email, Slack, or reporting tools.

💡 Why useful?
Instead of messy raw JSON, you get clear summaries ready to share.
