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.

    I've used Fabric to summarize the transcriptions. I believe it works with Ollama and local models.

    Just forget about the videos you want to summarize and (optionally) eat a cheeseburger instead. I came up with this solution myself. It works instantly, with 0 dependencies, and has a 0% fail rate. It is my intellectual property though, so please pay me $19.99 per day until you get tired of not summarizing youtube videos. Cheeseburgers are not included, btw.
