Video Q&A Agent is a Command Line Interface (CLI) tool that allows you to interact with ChatGPT and ask questions about a given YouTube video. It downloads the audio from the video, converts it to text using OpenAI's Whisper, and then feeds the text to an LLM to answer any questions you may have about the video content.
pip install -r requirements/base.txtNote: You need to setup a .env file with your OpenAI keys. See .env.example for a reference.
Optional: If you want to run Whisper locally, you'll require installing openai-whisper:
pip install openai-whisperTo use the OpenAI API for transcription:
python -m video_qa --url "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X29p13cAT1g"To use the local Whisper model for transcription:
python -m video_qa --url "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X29p13cAT1g" --use-local-whisper --whisper-model "base"The --use-local-whisper flag enables the use of a local Whisper model for transcription, and the --whisper-model option allows you to specify the desired local Whisper model version (e.g., "base").
Example outputs:
You can now ask questions about the video. Type 'quit' or 'exit' to end the session.

Enter your question: what is the video about?
========================================
🤖 : The video transcript does not provide a clear answer as it contains multiple discussions. However, one section of the video discusses the pricing of concert tickets and how much money the band makes from ticket sales.
========================================
Enter your question: what do they say about the concert prices?
========================================
🤖 : They discuss the high cost of production and the fact that the band often makes the least amount of money. They mention that they charge around $17 to $18 per ticket and only see about 25% of that, which they then have to split three ways and pay taxes on. They also mention other artists who charge much higher prices for tickets.
