Extract Loom video transcript to JSON
This automation extracts the full text transcript, including timestamps, from any public Loom video and provides it in a structured JSON format.
This agent automates the process of transcribing Loom videos to unlock the content within them for other uses. The automation works in a few simple steps:
- First, it navigates to the public Loom video URL you provide.
- It then interacts with the page, just like a human would, to open the transcript panel.
- Using an AI-powered query, it intelligently scans the panel and extracts the complete transcript, carefully preserving the timestamp for each spoken segment.
- Finally, it formats this information into a clean, structured JSON output, making it easy to use the transcript data in other applications or workflows.
Usage Ideas
- Content Repurposing: Instantly turn video tutorials, webinars, or product demos into blog posts, articles, and social media content.
- Meeting Summaries: Generate text summaries from recorded Loom meetings or async presentations to quickly review key decisions and action items.
- Knowledge Base Creation: Convert a library of video tutorials into searchable, text-based documentation for your team or customers.
- Subtitle Generation: Use the extracted, timestamped text as a perfect starting point for creating accurate video subtitles or captions.
- Research and Analysis: Transcribe user feedback videos or market research interviews to easily search for keywords and analyze sentiment.
Customization Ideas
While this template is built to extract transcripts from Loom videos, it is highly adaptable for your specific needs. You can easily customize it to:
- Target Different Video Platforms: Modify the automation to extract transcripts from other websites like YouTube, Vimeo, or your company's internal video portal.
- Change the Output Destination: Instead of just outputting the text, you can have the agent automatically save the transcript to a Google Doc, send it as a Slack message, add it to a project management tool, or store it in a spreadsheet.
- Customize the Extracted Data: You can alter the AI prompt to extract different information, such as the video title and description, or to change the transcript's format—for example, by combining it into a single paragraph without timestamps.
