How to Use YouTube Transcripts with ChatGPT

The Ultimate AI Workflow

Large Language Models like ChatGPT are incredible at summarizing text, but they can't watch a YouTube video for you. The solution? Extract the transcript using Transcriptafy, copy the raw text, and paste it directly into your ChatGPT prompt.

Prompting ChatGPT for Video Summaries

A great prompt to use is: 'I am going to paste the transcript of a YouTube video. Please summarize the core arguments into 5 bullet points, and extract the 3 most actionable pieces of advice. Here is the transcript: [Paste Transcript].'

Repurposing Video into Social Media Content

Content creators can use this method to multiply their output. By feeding a video transcript into an AI, you can ask it to generate a 10-tweet thread, a LinkedIn post, and a short email newsletter based entirely on the ideas discussed in the video.

Article FAQs

Everything you need to know about our YouTube tools.

ChatGPT has a token limit, meaning very long videos (over 1 hour) might need to be pasted in multiple chunks depending on the model version you are using.
