Yighlo – YouTube Summary & Notes Generator

Yighlo analyzes information from a YouTube video or short (title, description, and transcript) and creates a file with clear, organized notes in Markdown format.

Everything works directly from the console with an interactive interpreter:

python main.py

Then you'll see:

Yighlo >

From there you can execute commands like:

Yighlo > help
Yighlo > openai <key>
Yighlo > start <url> [Options...]

📌 How it works

1. Start the program with Python.
2. Configure your OpenAI API Key.
3. Run start <url> with the YouTube video URL.
4. The system retrieves:
   • Title
   • Description
   • Transcript (if available)
5. With that information, it generates organized output with key points, ideas, and useful notes.
6. Creates a .md file inside the output/ folder.
