Project detail
YKV - YouTube Knowledge Vault
A full-stack app that turns technical YouTube videos into a structured, searchable, and exportable knowledge vault.
FastAPI
Python
SQLite
OpenAI
Built around validation, transcript processing, structured outputs, library search, Q&A, and export into reusable formats.
Overview
What it is
YKV turns long technical videos into a reusable knowledge artifact instead of a one-time watch. The app validates the source first, processes the transcript, generates structured study material, and keeps the result searchable, comparable, and exportable from a single interface.
Notes
Technical notes
- The ingest flow validates transcripts, language, and minute ranges before spending work on generation
- One transcript pipeline feeds summary, glossary, cheat sheet, quiz, snippets, and referenceable answers
- Processed vaults can be cached, searched, compared, and reused instead of regenerated every time
- Exports are designed for multiple outputs, including Markdown, PDF, Notion payloads, and webhooks
- The app can run against real services or fall back to a reproducible local path for development
