Building an open-source AI that turns YouTube videos knowledge

Building an open-source AI that turns YouTube videos into structured knowledge (Looking for feedback & contributors)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a side project over the past few weeks and wanted to share it to get some feedback.

It started as a simple YouTube transcription API, but I realized transcripts alone aren’t that useful. My goal now is to turn YouTube videos into structured knowledge that people can actually use.

Current features:

  • ✅ YouTube audio extraction
  • ✅ Metadata extraction
  • ✅ Faster-Whisper (local) transcription
  • ✅ Google Gemini support
  • ✅ FastAPI REST API
  • ✅ Swagger/OpenAPI docs

The next features I’m working on are:

Developer Mode

  • Extract libraries, APIs, commands, GitHub repos, folder structure, common errors, and solutions.

Founder Mode

  • Extract business ideas, target users, pricing, competitors, risks, and opportunities.

Tutorial Mode

  • Convert videos into step-by-step guides with prerequisites and dependencies.

Research Mode

  • Compare multiple YouTube videos and generate:
    • Consensus
    • Contradictions
    • Best practices
    • Sources
    • Key takeaways

The project is completely free and open source. I’m building it because I wanted something that goes beyond “summarize this video.”

If you’re interested in Python, AI, FastAPI, prompt engineering, or just think this sounds useful, I’d love your ideas or contributions.

I’m especially looking for feedback on:

  • What feature would make you actually use this?
  • What am I missing?
  • Is there a better direction I should explore?

Thanks! 🙂 Dm Me and Build it together

I built an open-source Python CLI to extract YouTube audio, metadata, and transcripts locally with Faster-Whisper (or Gemini)

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on a small open-source project that makes it easy to extract structured information from YouTube videos.

Features

* 🎙️ Download audio from any YouTube video using yt-dlp

* ⚡ Local transcription with faster-whisper (GPU or CPU)

* ☁️ Optional Google Gemini transcription

* 📊 Extract rich metadata (title, channel, views, tags, upload date, etc.)

* 📝 Export transcripts as structured JSON

* ➕ Automatically appends multiple videos into a single JSON dataset

* 🧹 Cleans up temporary audio files automatically

Example:

python youtube.py "https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID" --output dataset.json

Each run adds another video to the same JSON file, making it useful for building datasets or knowledge bases.

This is currently the first public version, and I’d really appreciate feedback.

Some ideas I’m considering next:

* Duplicate detection

* Playlist support

* Better Python package structure (pip install)

* Plugin architecture

* API/server mode

* Better transcript formatting

I’d love to hear:

* What features would make this genuinely useful for you?

* What would you change?

* Any improvements to the codebase or project structure?

Feedback, issues, feature requests, and pull requests are all welcome. Thanks!

Is anyone else feeling weird about web design in 2026?

Every other day there’s a new AI that can generate websites, redesign UIs, create logos, write copy, even build frontend code. It’s honestly kind of overwhelming

Every week there’s another AI tool claiming it can design websites in minutes

A year or two ago, learning web design felt like such a solid path. Now I keep seeing people say AI will replace designers, while others say it’s just another tool like Photoshop or Figma was.

I genuinely don’t know what to think anymore.

If you’re actually working in web design, has your job changed that much? Are clients expecting more for less because AI can do it

Are junior designers having a harder time finding work, or is the whole tech job market just rough right now

Built my new portfolio using Next.js 15, Turbopack, and heavy Framer Motion animations

Hey guys,

Wanted to share portfolio. I wanted to see how far I could push scroll-linked animations and complex SVG paths in React without sacrificing performance.

Link: https://portfolio-2026-beige-delta.vercel.app

Link - https://dev.exploreday.in/

https://preview.redd.it/z1e586oeu88h1.png?width=2938&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d74f1b43ba32a74755dd90a7f7f335d08ae3b89

A few technical details:

  • Static Export: The entire site is statically exported (output: 'export') and deployed on Vercel's Edge Network.
  • Performance: Even with heavy useScroll and useTransform hooks mapping out complex SVG wires and node opacities, it stays locked at 60fps.
  • Security: Implemented strict CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options headers directly in next.config.ts.
  • Vercel: Deployed natively on Vercel for instant cache hits globally.

I'm currently working heavily in the AI/Automation space (Ollama, Python, RAG), so I wanted the site to feel like a "system interface" rather than a standard resume.

Let me know what you think of the performance and design!

"edit 1 - I fixed the lag part may be now not lag I dont know for sure but if you find it still lag comment"

Just stumbled upon Shopify Editions Winter '26 and I genuinely had to close my laptop for a second to process what I just saw.

Videos that scrub frame-by-frame AS YOU SCROLL. Sections that freeze in place while everything animates around them. Cards that fly horizontally while you're scrolling vertically. Glowing 3D orbs. Character-by-character text reveals. All perfectly in sync with your scroll position.

I've been building websites for a while and I still can't fully wrap my head around how a team ships something this polished.

So genuinely curious — what does the background of a developer who builds something like this actually look like?

- Is this a team of 20 specialists or could a small team pull this off?

- Do you come from a traditional frontend background or more of a creative/motion design side?

- What's the actual learning path? GSAP → Three.js → WebGL? Or is there a better order?

- How long does a page like this realistically take to build?

- Is this the kind of work that studios like Active Theory or Resn do, or does Shopify have this talent in-house?

I went down a rabbit hole and figured out they're using GSAP ScrollTrigger for the scroll-driven animations, video currentTime scrubbing for the frame-by-frame demos, and Lenis for the smooth scroll inertia. But knowing the tools and actually being able to build it feel like two very different things.

For anyone who works in creative dev / WebGL / interactive — how did you get here? Would love to understand the actual path.

Need advice on building/training an AI Agent for fully automated blog generation

Hi everyone,

I'm a React/Node.js developer working on a self-hosted AI blogging system and would like advice from people who have built AI agents in production.

  • Should I build this using LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK, or something else?
  • Is RAG enough, or should I fine-tune a model?
  • Has anyone successfully built an agent that improves blog content based on analytics data?
  • How do you prevent hallucinations while keeping content engaging?
  • What architecture would you recommend for a fully autonomous content pipeline?

Ollama 0.30.2 (Homebrew) — “llama-server binary not found” on macOS ARM

Running into an issue after upgrading Ollama via Homebrew on an M-series Mac.

Setup:

  • macOS (Apple Silicon / ARM)
  • Installed via: brew install ollama
  • Ollama version: 0.30.2

What happened:

Had an older Ollama server (0.24.0) running while the Homebrew client was at 0.30.2. Killed the old process, ran brew reinstall ollama, and now ollama serve starts fine but ollama run qwen3:8b throws this:Error: 500 Internal Server Error: error starting llama-server: llama-server binary not found

(checked: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ollama/0.30.2/libexec/lib/ollama/llama-server,

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/ollama/0.30.2/libexec/llama-server, ... and several other paths).

Run 'cmake -S llama/server --preset cpu && cmake --build --preset cpu' first

It looks like the Homebrew formula for 0.30.2 doesn’t include the llama-server binary, or it’s not being placed in any of the expected paths.

What I’ve tried:

  • brew reinstall ollama
  • Killing all existing Ollama processes and restarting
  • Confirmed the binary at /opt/homebrew/bin/ollama is the 0.30.2 version

Questions:

  1. Is anyone else hitting this with the Homebrew install of 0.30.2?
  2. Should I switch to the official macOS app download from ollama.com instead of Homebrew?
  3. Is the Homebrew formula broken/incomplete for this version?

Any help appreciated!
