Turn any YouTube video into a short, structured summary using AI — perfect for content creators, marketers, or social media managers.
We created a no-code automation in n8n that:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| ✅ Form Trigger | User submits a YouTube video ID using an n8n form |
| 🔁 Set Node | Maps the YouTube video ID for use in the API request |
| 🌐 HTTP Request (External API) | Calls the YouTube Transcriptor AI API via RapidAPI to fetch transcript |
| 🧹 Formatter (Code Node) | Joins transcript lines into a readable text block |
| 🧠 AI Agent + Google Gemini (via Langchain) | Summarizes the full transcript into bullet points and tone |
| 🧽 Optimizer (Code Node) | Extracts just the summary from the AI response |
| 📝 Google Docs Node | Appends the clean summary to a shared Google Doc |
🔥 Bonus: This uses the YouTube Transcriptor AI API, so no need to manually scrape captions or use browser extensions.
💡 Want to customize it? Add Slack, Airtable, Notion, or Tweet auto-posting to expand the flow.
