On a desktop browser, tap YouTube's "show transcript" and "hide timecodes", then copy-paste the whole transcript into Claude or chatgpt and tell it to summarize with whatever resolution you want-a couple sentences, 400 lines, whatever. You can also tell it to focus on certain subject material. This is a complete game changer for staying on top of what's being covered by local government meetings. Our local bureaucrats are astounding competent at talking about absolutely nothing for 95% of the time, but hidden is three minutes of "oh btw we're planning on paving over the local open space preserve to provide parking for the local business".
