# How to summarize & analyze YouTube videos with AI: Two FREE and EASY options

Are there YouTube videos where you need highlights or a detailed written report... or maybe both? For instance, earnings calls, tutorials, documentaries, or lectures?

Here are 2 free and easy options:

## 1️⃣ Gemini Pro 1.5 : 1 Million token context window

Just download an MP4 version of the YouTube video and upload it to Gemini.

Share your instructions/prompts. (Sharing some sample prompts in comments.) Modify as per requirement.

It has a 1 Million token limit.

For instance, Google (Alphabet) 2023 10K filing of 97 pages is around 80K tokens... Larsen & Tubro's 700-page Annual Report for FY23 is ~600K tokens.

A million tokens will accommodate a one-hour video.

👉 **How to get an MP4 version of a YouTube Video?**

Many public websites have download tools, or you can use the YouTube Downloader tool on my website at [tigzig.com](http://tigzig.com/).

## 2️⃣ Get raw transcript & upload to AI

Get transcript and upload it to an AI Chatbot with a large enough context window.

Check out Claude ([claude.ai](http://claude.ai/)), Mistral AI ([chat.mistral.ai](http://chat.mistral.ai/)), and Google Gemini Pro 1.5. All of them have a large context window and a generous free tier.

👉 **How to get transcript of YouTube Video?**

Directly from YouTube / third party sites / Transcript Extractor Tool on my website. These only work if transcript enabled for YouTube video....which is usually the case.

👉 **What if transcript not available?**

Create one using a Speech-to-Text Tool. Many websites would have it. Or use the one on my website.
