But I actually found it when looking for a tool to help me do Youtube transcripts.
I’m working on a second part of the article on how to create your custom GPT (This time about how to connect it to external API). The hard part is not the writing, but the process of making the GPT work and function properly.
I found a ton of value and resources in Corbin’s Youtbue videos, so kudos to him. I wanted to get a transcript of his video to test something out, and was looking for a quality Chrome extension that could help with that.
Well, oh well how stars align sometimes … and just this morning I was looking at Sharyph’s AI Road newsletter and came across his process to write tweets from Youtube videos. Great stuff, you can try it out for yourself as well – find it here.
And it works great!
It did a transcript of a 27-minute long video with a couple of minor mistakes and typos.
It is a useful tool for those looking to streamline their online reading and research process, offering a way to store, manage, and share the knowledge you come across.
