Hello.
I configured Assembly AI to transcribe a YouTube video and to give me a summary of the transcript.
However at the test, it ‘transcribed’ something completely unrelated to the video. I found the transcript that it showed me in a newspaper article from Canada. I double-check everything in my Zap and I went through with the AI chat in Zapier agent builder which suggested to have found the problem: “AssemblyAI can't directly process YouTube URLs. It needs the actual audio file URL and to:
- First extract the audio from the YouTube video, then
- Send that audio file to AssemblyAI for transcription,
or, alternatively use Descript or Speak AI instead…?
