Give it a video URL, a playlist, or a file containing multiple URLs, and reko will fetch the transcript, summarize the content in manageable chunks, and generate a readable Markdown document with a summary and optional key points. It’s designed to be simple, fast, and automation-friendly, making it easy to extract useful information from long, informational videos. By default, reko is local-first and privacy-friendly when used with Ollama, while still supporting paid cloud models when needed. 🚀 Features - Generate clean Markdown summaries with optional key points. - Summarize a single video, a playlist, or a batch of URLs. - Optimized for Small Language Models (SLMs), which are often sufficient for high-quality summarization. - Works with Ollama and cloud providers via APIs. - Multi-language summaries: uses native transcripts when available, with automatic fallback and translation. - Handles long videos via transcript chunking. - Skips reprocessing when a summary already exists (with an option to force regeneration). 🧠 How it works At a high level, reko follows a simple pipeline: 1. Resolve the input target (video, playlist, or file). 2.
