The problem it solves

You want the audio from a YouTube video, so you hunt through sketchy converter websites, download the file, then rename and file it away yourself. Doing this more than once or twice a week gets old fast, and you lose track of what you've already converted.

Who it fits

Content creators, podcasters, or anyone who regularly needs audio pulled from video.

How it works

  1. You submit a YouTube video link through a simple form
  2. The link is sent off to convert the video into an MP3 file
  3. The system waits for the conversion to finish
  4. The finished MP3 is uploaded to Google Drive
  5. The download link and file size are logged in a Google Sheet
What you get

Audio files pulled from video and filed automatically

Any YouTube link you submit comes back as an MP3 saved to Google Drive with the details logged for you.

What you get

An MP3 file saved in Google Drive with a logged record in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and a video-to-MP3 conversion API subscription.

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.
