YouTube Daily Digest

Read the new videos from the channels I follow so I do not have to watch them.

Walk me through connecting TranscriptAPI (transcriptapi.com), which returns YouTube transcripts and video and channel search.

Ask me which channels to follow, the topics I care about most, how long a summary I want, whether to skip anything under a length I set, and my timezone and digest time. Also ask me where to deliver the digest, and connect only what I pick: right here in this chat by default, or Slack, email, Discord or Telegram.

Run every morning at my time: find the new uploads on my channels since the last run, pull each transcript, and for every video give me the title, the channel, a summary in the length I chose, the three to five key points, any resource or tool mentioned, and the one line worth clicking in for. Keep a state file of every video already summarized so nothing repeats.

Send me one digest wherever I chose to receive it, most relevant first, leaving out channels that posted nothing. If nothing new dropped anywhere, a single line.

Never post or share any of this. Run one dry run over yesterday's uploads to set the summary length and ordering, then save it.
