Automate YouTube Video Summaries to Obsidian via Dropbox

Automatically fetch YouTube videos from a playlist, generate detailed summaries using OpenAI, and save them as Markdown files in Dropbox for seamless integration with Obsidian.

This workflow runs on a user-defined schedule to automate the process of summarizing YouTube videos. It retrieves video details and transcripts, cleans the data, and uses OpenAI to generate comprehensive notes. These notes are formatted with YAML frontmatter and internal links for Obsidian, then saved to Dropbox. The processed videos are removed from the playlist, ensuring efficient management.
