Summarize YouTube videos with Automatio for Telegram
Send a YouTube URL to your Automatio agent in Telegram to receive a breakdown of the content. The agent reads the transcript to provide the main points and relevant timestamps directly in your chat.
What to ask
Send it to the Automatio bot in Telegram, or type it in the Automatio chat. Send it as written, or change the details to fit your case.
Summarize this YouTube video for me: [link]. Give me the five most important takeaways and include the timestamps for each one so I can skip to the relevant parts.

- 2

Request a summary
Paste the YouTube link into the private chat with the bot and tell the agent what information you want to extract from the video.
What you get
The agent returns a text summary including the key highlights and specific timestamps. You can read the results directly in the message thread, where tables appear as fixed-width text and bold or italic formatting is preserved. If the response is very long, the bot splits it into several messages.
Every reply includes an Open in Automatio button. This allows you to view the full chat history or continue the task in your web browser if you need to use canvas features or export the data.
Good to know
- The agent must have at least 100 credits in your Automatio account to start the summary task.
- Summaries only work in private chats with the bot and are not supported in groups or channels.
- The agent reads the video transcript rather than analyzing the visual video file itself.
- Each request consumes credits based on the AI model you have selected in your Automatio settings.
Variations to try

Find the part in this video [link] where the speaker discusses pricing and provide the exact quote along with the timestamp.
Create a tutorial guide
Using this video [link], create a step-by-step guide on how to assemble the product, listing each step with its corresponding timestamp.
Brief summary
Give me a three-sentence summary of what happens in this video [link] so I can decide if it is worth watching.
Questions
What does it cost to summarize a video?
Summarizing a video uses the credits in your Automatio account. The specific cost depends on the length of the transcript and the AI model you have chosen to run your agent.
Can I summarize videos in a Telegram group?
No, the Automatio bot only works in private one-on-one chats. If you try to use it in a group, it will respond stating that it only works in a private chat.
Is my chat data kept private?
The bot only receives the messages and links you send to it directly. Your message content is saved as a chat in your Automatio account and is not used to train AI models.
How do I start a new summary for a different video?
You can send the command /new to start a fresh chat session. This clears the immediate context so the agent focuses only on the new link you provide.
