Creating Youtube Key Point Extractor Using AI Agents

An AI agent is an entity or system capable of perceiving its environment, processing that information, and taking actions to achieve specific goals or tasks. In this guide, we will use an AI Agent to connect to the YouTube Search tool and extract data from a YouTube link.

Power of Tool Calling Agent

Using FlowHunt, we’ll create a chatbot that extracts the essential content from YouTube videos and presents it to you in text format. The best part? You don’t even need to provide a specific link. Just mention a keyword, and our chatbot will automatically search for the top videos on that topic and use them as the source material.

How to make the Flow?

• Navigate to the “Flows” Tab: Click on the “Flows” tab to start a new project.
• Create a New Flow: Provide a name and a detailed description to keep track of its purpose.

• Add the Input and Outputs: Use the Input Component and Output Component to define the starting and ending points of the flow.

• Add Tool-Calling Agent: For this task, we’ll utilize the tool-calling agent, which is necessary for using the YouTube search tool.

• Add Optional Features:
  • The chat history component allows the chatbot to remember past conversations, improving responses, especially if you weren’t satisfied with an answer or asked for something similar.
  • The LLM component lets you change the language model if needed (the tool-calling agent comes prebuilt with GPT-4).

• Add YouTube Search and URL Retriever Tool:
  • Add the YouTube search component so the LLM can find relevant videos based on your keywords.
  • Add the URL retriever, which extracts the content from the video using its URL.

Guiding the Agent’s Thought Process

Now we can connect everything together. But we’re not done yet. Since the agent can think, we need to guide its thought process. We’ll do this by providing a specific prompt in the system message compartment. Once we’ve done that, we can start generating extracted content.

Our prompt for this Flow:

You are a YouTube video content extractor. Extract the content using YouTube search tool to find the video and the URL retriever to extract the content. Make sure to present these content as in-depth and detailed as possible

Example: Extracting Marketing Tips from Simon Squibb’s Videos

For example, you can ask the chatbot to give you marketing tips from Simon Squibb’s videos. It will generate the most important tips from his videos on marketing.

You can fine-tune this process to generate detailed essays about the video or even extract the full transcript. But for now, this is the example we’ll use.
