YouTube Summarizer

This tool will take a YouTube URL and return a summary of the video.

It performs 3 steps:

1. download the audio of the video
2. transcribe the audio
3. summarize the transcription.

Each of these are stored in a local directory created for the video.
Once the audio or transcription have been saved, they aren't regenerated on subsequent calls, but the summary is.
