Comment on Show HN: Askyoutube – Ask YouTube anything

Comments

This is wonderful. I made questionyoutube.com yesterday to solve a similar problem, I think this is better in the limit though.

If you can just get search time down, and make the summarization a little better, that would be amazing.

For instance, I tried this with 'what Toyotas should I avoid' and it found good relevant videos, but in the summary of 'Bad Toyotas you need to avoid' it misses that certain Toyotas from 2007-2009 had an oil burning issue, which was the main topic of the video. Querying the transcript of the video with 'what Toyotas do I need to avoid' gives a more complete answer. I'm curious how your handling the initial summary.

Thanks for the feedback, I haven't done much optimization in regards to the summary.

The screen real-estate of the summary has to be small so it is limited in the amount of information it can display but your example could be a good starting point to see how the key points can be better captured
