Transcribe YouTube Videos & Create GEO Summaries with Whisper and GPT-4o-mini in Notion

Description

📊 Description
Automate your YouTube research workflow by extracting audio from any video, transcribing it with Whisper AI, and generating structured GEO (Goal–Execution–Outcome) summaries using GPT-4o-mini. 🎥🤖 This template transforms unstructured video content into actionable, searchable insights that are automatically stored in Notion with rich metadata. It’s ideal for creators, educators, analysts, and knowledge workers who want to convert long videos into concise, high-quality summaries without manual effort. Perfect for content indexing, research automation, and knowledge-base enrichment. 📚✨

🔁 What This Template Does
• Triggers on a schedule to continuously process new YouTube videos. ⏰
• Fetches video metadata (title, description, thumbnails, published date) via the YouTube API. 🎥
• Downloads audio using RapidAPI and prepares it for transcription. 🎧
• Transcribes audio into text using OpenAI Whisper. 📝
• Skips invalid entries when no transcript is generated. 🚫
• Merges the transcript with metadata for richer AI context. 🔗
• Uses GPT-4o-mini to generate Goal, Execution, Outcome, and Keywords via structured JSON. 🤖📊
• Parses the AI-generated JSON into Notion-friendly formats. 🔍
• Creates a Notion page with GEO sections, keywords, and video metadata. 📄🏷️
• Produces a fully searchable knowledge record for every processed video. 📚✨
