🦜 LangChain: Summarize Text from YT or Website

This app is designed to streamline the process of summarizing textual content from YouTube videos or websites. It integrates LangChain with the Groq API for natural language processing (NLP) tasks, providing users with concise summaries of various content sources.

Problem Statement

Extracting key information from long videos or extensive web articles can be time-consuming and overwhelming. People often need quick, digestible summaries of these resources for research, decision-making, or general information gathering. This tool addresses the need for an automated solution that efficiently summarizes large content from YouTube or websites.

Use Cases

• Content Creators: Summarize videos or articles for creating summaries or descriptions.
• Students/Researchers: Quickly get the gist of a long video lecture or web article without spending hours watching or reading.
• Marketers/Content Analysts: Gain insights from long-form content such as webinars, tutorials, or news articles to make informed decisions.
• General Users: Summarize news articles or online resources for quicker consumption.

Methodology

1. Input: Users enter a valid YouTube video URL or website URL, along with their Groq API key.
2. Validation: The app checks if a valid API key and URL are provided. It ensures the URL is either a YouTube video or a website URL.
3. Content Loading: Based on the input type, the app loads the data using LangChain's YoutubeLoader (for YouTube URLs) or UnstructuredURLLoader (for websites).
4. Summarization Chain: The loaded content is passed through a summarization chain that utilizes a prompt template to generate a summary in 300 words using the Groq API's "Gemma-7b-It" model.
