✂️ About - TubeBrief

A modern, elegant YouTube video summarizer — powered by AI.

🔭 Overview

TubeBrief is a web app that helps users quickly generate summaries of any public YouTube video. It fetches video transcripts using a Transcript API (via RapidAPI) and then uses Gemini AI to generate a concise, readable summary. All summaries are saved into the database, so you can browse previous summaries anytime.

The goal is simple: consume valuable video content in less time, with less cognitive load.
