I watch a lot Youtube videos everyday, especially reviews of food, technology and gadgets. Often, I just want to grasp the essence of the video without watching the whole thing. I also like to copy the transcript of the video to take notes. So I built Robibo to help me with that.

Robibo is a extension that help to summarize and copy transcript from a Youtube video.

• Copy transcript of a youtube video to clipboard
• Summarize (and translate) transcript with OpenAI API

This is a chrome extension built with Plasmo. It is not published on the Chrome Web Store yet, but you can run the extension in development mode by following these steps:

You will need to have node.js installed on your machine. You can download it here.

   cd robibo

3. Install the dependencies:

   # or

The extension will be loaded automatically when you open a Youtube video. It will add a floating menu on the bottom right corner of the page. If you don't see the menu, try refreshing the page. You can click the buttons to:

• Toggle the floating menu
• Summarize the transcript
• Summarize and translate the transcript
• Copy the transcript

To use the summary feature, you will need to have an OpenAI API key. You can get one here. Then click the extension icon or open the options page to enter your API key. You can also change the language for translation. By default, the language is set to English.
