YouTube has a transcript option that lets you convert the content of the video into written text. You can use this feature to get information from a video without watching the whole thing. However, reading these transcriptions can be tedious, especially if it is a long video. You can tackle this issue by using artificial intelligence (AI).

You can use the power of ChatGPT, the latest AI sensation, to generate concise and informative summaries of YouTube videos. You can use the AI to get an overview of a video before watching it, and it will save time. Here is how to use ChatGPT to transcribe YouTube videos.
