Architecture
Built with Python, OpenAI, and Streamlit. Uses youtube_transcript_api for subtitle extraction and ChatGPT GPT-4o-mini for intelligent summarization with custom prompt optimization. Docker containerization coming soon.
Challenges Solved
Crafting prompts that generate natural, human-like summaries while maintaining the right level of detail. Handling both auto-generated transcripts and predefined chapter structures. Future improvements include summaries for short videos without outlines and dedicated chapter headlines for synthetic generation.
