Stop manually watching hours of YouTube content to extract insights. This n8n workflow automates the entire process from video submission to structured analysis, delivering speaker-labeled transcripts and AI-powered insights directly to your inbox.

What This Workflow Does

• Fetches comprehensive YouTube metadata — Automatically pulls title, channel name, view count, duration, and publish date using the YouTube Data API for up to 3 videos per submission
• Generates accurate speaker-labeled transcriptions — Submits each video to WayinVideo for professional transcription service that identifies different speakers, going beyond basic auto-captions
• Provides intelligent fallback processing — When transcripts are empty or too short, automatically uses video descriptions to ensure analysis never fails silently
• Delivers niche-specific AI analysis — GPT-4o-mini evaluates each video across 6 custom fields, including a 1-10 relevance score for your specific industry
• Identifies content opportunities — Surfaces gaps in competitor content that you can leverage for your own strategy
• Automates reporting and logging — Every video gets logged to Google Sheets while a consolidated Gmail report arrives sorted by relevance score
