The problem it solves

You have a growing list of YouTube videos worth reviewing, but watching and summarizing each one in Arabic for your team takes far too long. Important ideas end up buried in videos nobody rewatches.

Who it fits

An Arabic-speaking team or business that wants quick, searchable summaries of video content without watching everything.

How it works

  1. YouTube links are pulled from your spreadsheet
  2. The transcript for each video is scraped automatically
  3. AI summarizes the video and pulls out key insights in Arabic
  4. The transcript and summary are saved back to your spreadsheet
What you get

Arabic summaries ready to scan quickly

You get a clear Arabic summary of every video you save, ready to scan without watching the full recording.

What you get

A spreadsheet of YouTube transcripts and Arabic AI summaries for every video.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an Apify account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
