Vidpulp
Vidpulp is a service that automatically monitors YouTube playlists of your choice. When a new video is added to a playlist, it fetches the transcript and uses a large language model to generate a concise TL;DR and a detailed summary. These summaries are compiled into a daily email digest, allowing users to stay informed without watching every video. It focuses on following specific playlists rather than algorithmic trends, so users receive summaries only from creators they care about. The service is free with limits (600 credits, 1 playlist), with paid Pro and Plus tiers offering more credits and playlist tracking. Credits are consumed at 1 credit per minute of summarization. Vidpulp aims to save time by turning video content into readable summaries. It includes a web page for each summary, so users can view full details anytime. Setup involves connecting a YouTube playlist via Google sign-in and setting delivery preferences.
