Convert video watch history into summaries

To convert video watch history into summaries, you’ll need to extract the key content or insights from the videos you’ve watched. Here’s a simple process you can follow, depending on how you access and store your watch history:

1. Export Your Watch History

  • If you’re using YouTube:

    • Go to Google Takeout.

    • Select only “YouTube and YouTube Music”.

    • Export your data and download the .json or .html file.

2. Extract Video Links or Titles

  • From the exported file, extract the video titles or URLs.

  • You can use a script (Python or similar) to automate this if the list is long.

3. Fetch Video Transcripts

  • Use the YouTube transcript feature (if available) or a transcript API like:

4. Summarize the Content

  • Input transcripts into a summarization tool (like this chat or others).

  • Use prompt examples like:

    • “Summarize this transcript in 100 words.”

    • “Give key takeaways from this video transcript.”

5. Organize Summaries

  • Save your summaries in a structured format (spreadsheet, Notion, etc.).

  • You can categorize by topic, date, channel, or relevance.


If you provide your video titles or transcripts (or export file), I can help you convert them into clean, SEO-optimized summaries. Would you like to proceed with a specific video or a batch of them?
