YouTube Transcript, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your YouTube Transcript account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What YouTube Transcript is
Retrieve and store captions for one video or a bounded batch, read job and batch status, access stored transcripts and languages, and resolve playlist or channel video metadata through the YouTube Transcript REST API.
You paste in a key from your own YouTube Transcript account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside YouTube Transcript whenever you like.
