Askyoutube – Ask YouTube anything

Hi everyone, I built this recently and found myself and my friends using it for various different things so I figured I'd share it here. It uses LLMs to answer queries from videos so you don't have to watch them yourself! Each video found is also included with a summary of its transcript for further exploration. Most importantly, it uses up-to-date videos and can answer question about real and recent things unlike ChatGPT. It is particularly useful for: 1. Getting up to date information about the news from different sources E.g. - What are the features of the recently released Apple Vision…

Askyoutube – Ask YouTube anything launched on June 16, 2023 with 18 votes, #1,580 of 4,655 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

  • Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years.
