[AIT] What do you use to summarise YouTube videos?
I’m looking for good tools to get AI summaries of YouTube videos preferably open source solutions that I can self-host or at least trust with my privacy.
AI-related discussions and AI-involved promotional posts have additional requirements for tagging, as noted in Rule 7 and the AI & Promotional Post Expanded Rules post, and find example disclosures here.

thank you, do you do this manually or do you use a script?
I do it so infrequently that I just do it manually. Sometimes my friends send too many YouTube links in our group chat. I care enough to respond to them but not enough to watch them all if it’s going to take up a good chunk of my day to do so.
Kagi Summarizer (not FOSS, though).
thank you my friend
