YouTube to Blog Post Converter with Gemini AI Transcription

This n8n workflow transforms any YouTube video into a publish-ready blog post effortlessly. Triggered by a simple POST request to its webhook with a YouTube URL, it downloads the video's audio using yt-dlp, transcribes the content with Google Gemini AI, and generates a comprehensive article in the video's original language. The output includes an engaging title, short description, suggested category and tags, the full transcript, and the original video URL, all formatted as JSON for easy integration with your CMS or other tools.

Key benefits include massive time savings for content creators—no more manual transcription or editing. It repurposes video content into written articles in minutes, maintaining accuracy and structure. Ideal for bloggers, marketers, educators, and YouTubers looking to expand their reach across platforms without extra effort.

Use cases: Content agencies automating video-to-blog pipelines, educators creating study guides from lectures, podcasters generating show notes, or marketers producing SEO-optimized posts from promotional videos. Setup requires yt-dlp installation, a Gemini API key, and configuring the output webhook for seamless delivery.
