YouTube to Telegram Summaries

This program use github actions to check every hour if there are new videos in a list of youtube channels, than if there is a new one, uses LangChain (OpenAI model) to summarize the content of the video and send the summary to a telegram group.

It only works with english at the moment.

TL;DR:

• Check for new videos from a list of YouTube channels

• When a new video is published, take the transcript and summarize it

• Send the summary to a Telegram group
