Show HN: Talk to YouTube – RAG for YouTube Videos

https://github.com/SulemanKazi/TtYT

Hi HN,

I built this little application for setting up RAG on Youtube video transcripts. I haven't seen a lot of RAG for multimodal use-cases so I thought this was interesting. It uses YoutubeDL to get transcripts and Vectara to set up the RAG system. It's multilingual so other languages besides english work as well.

The answer produced by the LLM has references with timestamps to where its deriving information from from within the video. Right now the interface is a clunky terminal but I'm planning on adding a UI or maybe a voice I/O interface to the app.

Full disclosure: I work at Vectara, but this was a personal/side-project!

I see this can be used especially for tutorial videos that are very long. It is usually a drag to spend hours watching them with full attention.

How about deploying this into a simple Vercel link and publishing it? Bet it would get more traction
