In the vast ocean of content that is YouTube, the ability to quickly and accurately summarize video content is not just a luxury, but a necessity for many users and businesses.

Whether you're a content creator wanting to provide concise summaries for your audience, a researcher looking to extract key information, or a business aiming to analyze video content at scale, having the right tools and techniques is crucial.

This guide delves deep into the world of YouTube video summarization, harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies including [Deepgram](https://deepgram.com/) for superior audio transcription, [Langchain](https://www.langchain.com/) for harvesting the power of the LLM, and [Mistral 7B](https://mistral.ai/news/announcing-mistral-7b/), a state-of-the-art and open-source LLM.

Together, these technologies form a formidable trio, enabling us to extract, process, and summarize video content with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.

In this tutorial, you'll construct a fully functional [Streamlit](https://streamlit.io/) application from the ground up. Streamlit lets you turn simple data scripts into web applications without traditional front-end tools. This application will be capable of downloading audio from any YouTube video, transcribing it using Deepgram, and then summarizing the content with the assistance of Mistral 7B, all streamlined through the capabilities of Langchain.

You can deploy and preview the YouTube Summarization application from this guide using the [Deploy to Koyeb](https://www.koyeb.com/docs/build-and-deploy/deploy-to-koyeb-button) button below:

[![Deploy to Koyeb](https://www.koyeb.com/static/images/deploy/button.svg)](https://app.koyeb.com/deploy?name=youtube-summarization&type=git&repository=koyeb/example-youtube-summarization-langchain&branch=main&run_command=streamlit%20run%20main.py&env[PORT]=8501&env[DEEPGRAM_API_KEY]=REPLACE_ME&ports=8501;http;/)

**Note**: Remember to use a larger instance for faster processing times and to replace the value of the `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY` environment variable with your own information (as described in the section on integrating Deepgram).

## Requirements

To successfully develop this application, you will need the following:

- Python installed on your machine, here we use version 3.11
- A [Koyeb account](https://app.koyeb.com/) to deploy the application
- A [Deepgram account](https://deepgram.com/) for using their API. Deepgram offers new accounts $200 credit without providing credit card details.
- A [GitHub account](https://github.com/) to store your application code and trigger deployments

## Steps

1. [Install and setup Streamlit](#install-and-setup-streamlit)
2. [Download audio with yt-dip](#download-audio-with-yt-dlp)
3. [Transcribe audio with Deepgram](#transcribe-audio-with-deepgram)
4. [Summarize transcript with Langchain and Mistral 7B](#summarize-transcript-with-langchain-and-mistral-7b)
5. [Combine everything together in the Streamlit app](#combine-them-all-together-in-the-streamlit-app)
6. [Deploy to Koyeb](#deploy-to-koyeb)

## Install and Setup Streamlit

First, start by creating a new project. You should use `venv` to keep your Python dependencies organized in a virtual environment.

Create a new project/folder locally on your computer with:

```bash
# Create and move to the new folder
mkdir YouTubeSummarizer
cd YouTubeSummarizer

# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Active the virtual environment (Windows)
.\venv\Scripts\activate.bat

# Active the virtual environment (Linux and MacOS)
source ./venv/bin/activate
```

To install [Streamlit](https://streamlit.io/), you just need to run the pip command:

```bash
pip install streamlit
```

A Streamlit application can consist of more than one page, but in this case, you will create a single-page application.

Streamlit allows you to design the page by adding different components to that page. The components can be text, like headings and sub-headings, but also objects like input widgets and download buttons.

To start your Streamlit application, create a new file called `main.py`, with the following initial contents:

```python
import streamlit as st

# Set page title
st.set_page_config(page_title="YouTube Video Summarization", page_icon="📜", layout="wide")

# Set title
st.title("YouTube Video Summarization", anchor=False)
st.header("Summarize YouTube videos with AI", anchor=False)

```

This code snippet uses the Streamlit library to set up the web application interface:

- The code starts by importing the Streamlit library, which is aliased as `st` for easier reference throughout the code.
- Next, the `st.set_page_config` function is called to configure the page settings. The page title is set to "YouTube Video Summarization", a scroll emoji is set as the page icon, and the layout is set to "wide" which provides a wider layout compared to the default.
- Following the page configuration, the `st.title` and `st.header` functions are called to set the main title and header of the page respectively. Additionally, the `anchor` parameter is specified as `False` in both functions, indicating that there won't be HTML anchor links associated with the title and header.

This setup lays down the basic structure and design of the web page for the YouTube Video Summarization application, creating a user-friendly interface.

You can run the application with:

```bash
streamlit run main.py
```

You will add more elements to this code when you build the final application in the last section, but for now you have the initial basic Streamlit application:

![Your initial Streamlit application](https://www.koyeb.com/static/images/tutorials/youtube-video-summarization-using-deepgram-langchain-and-mistral7b/streamlit-application.png)

## Download audio with yt-dlp

To download audio from YouTube videos, you'll utilize the widely used [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) library, which can be installed using the pip command as follows:

```bash
pip install yt-dlp
```

Now, let's proceed to craft the download logic to retrieve the audio file from a YouTube video.

For better organization and to keep the logic separate, you'll place this logic in a new file. Go ahead and create a file named `download.py`.

```python
from yt_dlp import YoutubeDL

def download_audio_from_url(url):
    videoinfo = YoutubeDL().extract_info(url=url, download=False)
    length = videoinfo['duration']
    filename = f"./audio/youtube/{videoinfo['id']}.mp3"
    options = {
        'format': 'bestaudio/best',
        'keepvideo': False,
        'outtmpl': filename,
    }
    with YoutubeDL(options) as ydl:
        ydl.download([videoinfo['webpage_url']])
    return filename, length

# Testing by running this file
if __name__ == "__main__":
    url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_eMJiOPZMU"
    filename, length = download_audio_from_url(url)
    print(f"Audio file: {filename} with length {length} seconds")
    print("Done!")
```

Here’s a breakdown of what each section of the code does:

- The `YoutubeDL` class is imported from the `yt_dlp` library.  It is used to interact with and download video/audio from YouTube.
- An instance of `YoutubeDL` is created and its `extract_info` method is called with the `url` argument to gather information about the video without downloading it (`download=False`). The information is stored in the `videoinfo` variable.
- The `filename` variable constructs a file path where the audio will be saved, using the video's unique id and an `.mp3` extension.
- An `options` dictionary is created to specify the download options:
  - `'format': 'bestaudio/best'` specifies to download the best audio quality available.
  - `'keepvideo': False` indicates that the video portion should not be kept after downloading.
  - `'outtmpl': filename` specifies the output template for the filename.
- A new `YoutubeDL` instance is created with the `options` dictionary as the argument, and within a `with` block, its `download` method is called with the video URL to download the audio.

This function encapsulates the process of downloading audio from a YouTube video, preparing the necessary file path and download options, and utilizing the `yt_dlp` library to perform the audio download.

You can test the audio download with the sample URL provided in the code or you can use your own. Run the file with:

```python
python download.py
```

A similar output to this will be shown:

```bash
[youtube] Extracting URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_eMJiOPZMU
[youtube] q_eMJiOPZMU: Downloading webpage
[...]
[download] Destination: audio\youtube\q_eMJiOPZMU.mp3
[download] 100% of    3.09MiB in 00:00:00 at 16.97MiB/s
Audio file: ./audio/youtube/q_eMJiOPZMU.mp3 with length 242 seconds
Done!
```

You can check the audio file at the path mentioned in the output.

## Transcribe audio with Deepgram

To summarize the video, a transcript is required. In the realm of audio or video recordings, **a transcript is a document encompassing the textual representation of all spoken content**, serving as a medium to access and read the recording's content in text form.

For transcribing, you'll use the remarkable [Deepgram](https://deepgram.com/) library. You can [register](https://console.deepgram.com/signup) for free and receive a $200 credit without providing credit card details.

Post registration, you'll gain access to the Dashboard where you can generate the necessary API key:

![Deepgram Dashboard - Creating an API key](https://www.koyeb.com/static/images/tutorials/youtube-video-summarization-using-deepgram-langchain-and-mistral7b/deepgram-dashboard-creating-an-api-key.png)

You can define your API key with these options (you can give it a different name if you would like):

![Deepgram API key settings](https://www.koyeb.com/static/images/tutorials/youtube-video-summarization-using-deepgram-langchain-and-mistral7b/deepgram-api-key-settings.png)

Then just click on the 'Create Key' button to create your API key and you will see the newly generated key:

![Your Deepgram API key](https://www.koyeb.com/static/images/tutorials/youtube-video-summarization-using-deepgram-langchain-and-mistral7b/deepgram-api-key.png)

Make sure to copy this key to a safe place, like a text file. You will need it later on.

To keep your API key safe and not exposed in the code, create a `.env` file where you will keep any necessary secrets:

```python
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=<your key here>

```

To use the keys from the `.env`file, you will use the `python-decouple` library, which can be installed with:

```bash
pip install python-decouple
```

You should also install the Deepgram SDK:

```bash
pip install deepgram-sdk
```

Now you have all the necessary configuration to write the transcribe functionality.

Create a new file called `transcribe.py` where you will place this logic:

```python
from decouple import config
from deepgram import Deepgram

DEEPGRAM_API_KEY = config('DEEPGRAM_API_KEY')

def transcribe_audio(filename):
    dg_client = Deepgram(DEEPGRAM_API_KEY)
    with open(filename, 'rb') as audio:
        source = {'buffer': audio, 'mimetype': 'audio/mp3'}
        response = dg_client.transcription.sync_prerecorded(source,
                                                            model='nova-2-ea',
                                                            smart_format=True)
        transcript = response['results']['channels'][0]['alternatives'][0]['transcript']
        return transcript
```

Here's a breakdown of each part of the code:

- The function `transcribe_audio` is defined with a parameter `filename`, which is expected to be the path to the audio file to be transcribed.
- An instance of the Deepgram client is created named `dg_client`, using `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY` as the authentication key, which comes from the `.env` file.
- The `with open(filename, 'rb') as audio:` line is using a context manager to open the specified audio file in binary read mode (`'rb'`). This ensures that the file is automatically closed after use.
- A dictionary named `source` is created to hold the audio buffer and its mime type. The `buffer` key holds the audio file object, and the `mimetype` key specifies that the audio file is in MP3 format.
- A transcription request is made to Deepgram using the `sync_prerecorded` method of the `dg_client` object. The method is passed several arguments:
  - `source`: The `source` dictionary containing the audio buffer and mime type.
  - `model`: Specifies the model to be used for transcription, in this case, `nova-2-ea`.
  - `smart_format`: When set to `True`, this option enables smart formatting of the transcript.
- The transcript text is extracted from the response dictionary by navigating through its nested structure: `response['results']['channels'][0]['alternatives'][0]['transcript']`.

This function encapsulates the process of transcribing an audio file using the Deepgram API, extracting the transcript text from the response, and returning it.

## Summarize transcript with Langchain and Mistral 7B

So far you have downloaded an audio file from YouTube and created a transcript. Now is the time to create a summary of that transcript of the orginal video, so that it captures the most important points.

For this, you will use the [Langchain](https://www.langchain.com/) library, a powerful toolkit for orchestrating language models. At the core of this orchestration is the Map-Reduce pattern, powered by Langchain's `MapReduceDocumentsChain`, to process the transcript in a systematic and scalable manner.

It loads the transcript and then segments it into manageable chunks, which are individually summarized (mapped) before being consolidated into a final summary (reduced).

You will also leverage the prowess of [Mistral 7B](https://mistral.ai/news/announcing-mistral-7b/), a state-of-the-art language model, orchestrated through a series of chains and templates provided by Langchain.

- In the use of the Langchain library, **"chains" refer to a sequence of processing steps where the output from one step is used as the input for the next**, facilitating complex text processing tasks like summarization through an orchestrated flow.
- On the other hand, **"templates" are predefined textual frameworks called "PromptTemplates" which structure the prompts given to language models**, incorporating placeholders and specific instructions that mold the model's outputs towards a targeted outcome, ensuring consistency and direction in the tasks being executed.

The final result is a well-organized, consolidated summary of the main points from the transcript, achieved with a high degree of efficiency and accuracy.

Start by installing the Langchain library, transformers, and ctransformers, as usual with a pip command:

```bash
pip install langchain ctransformers transformers
```

The `transformers` library is an open-source, state-of-the-art machine-learning library developed by Hugging Face. It provides a vast collection of pre-trained models specialized in various NLP tasks, including text classification, summarization, translation, and question-answering.

Now you can create a new file called `summarize.py` that will contain the summarization logic:

```python
import os
import time
from langchain.chains import MapReduceDocumentsChain, LLMChain, ReduceDocumentsChain, StuffDocumentsChain
from langchain.llms import CTransformers
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.document_loaders import (TextLoader)

# (... code continues in following snippets)
```

First, you start with the imports for the necessary chains, prompt template, text splitter, and also load the transcript text.

To run Mistral 7B, you will use the CTransformers library from Langchain itself.

Next, you expand the file to load the transcript and LLM (Mistral 7B):

```python
# summarize.py
# (... previous code ...)

def summarize_transcript(filename):
    # Load transcript
    loader = TextLoader(filename)
    docs = loader.load()

    # Load LLM
    config = {'max_new_tokens': 4096, 'temperature': 0.7, 'context_length': 4096}
    llm = CTransformers(model="TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF",
                        model_file="mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf",
                        config=config,
                        threads=os.cpu_count())
```

Here is the breakdown of the code:

- A function named `summarize_transcript` is defined with `filename` as its argument, which is intended to hold the path to the transcript file.
- An instance of `TextLoader` is created and the `load` method is called to load the contents of the transcript file into a variable named `docs`.
- A language model instance (`CTransformers`) is initialized using a specific model and configuration, which is stored in a variable named `llm`.
- The `config` variable holds the LLM configuration:
  - **`max_new_tokens`**: This specifies the maximum number of tokens that the language model is allowed to generate in a single invocation. In this case, the model should not generate more than 4096 tokens.
  - **`temperature`**: This controls the randomness of the output generated by the language model. A temperature closer to 0 makes the model more deterministic, favoring more likely outcomes. A higher temperature leads to more diversity but can also result in less coherent outputs. A value of **`0.7`** suggests a balance between randomness and determinism.
  - **`context_length`**: This indicates the number of tokens from the input that the model should consider when generating new content or making predictions. In this case, the model takes into account up to 4096 tokens of the provided input data to understand the context before generating any output.

For the LLM you will use a version of Mistral 7B from [TheBloke](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGUF), which is optimized to run on the CPU. When the code is run, the model will be automatically downloaded.

The next step is to build the prompt templates that will generate the prompts that run at the different stages of the chain:

```python
# summarize.py
# (... previous function code ...)

    # Map template and chain
    map_template = """

 The following is a part of a transcript:
    {docs}
    Based on this, please identify the main points.
    Answer:  
 
"""
    map_prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(map_template)
    map_chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=map_prompt)

    # Reduce template and chain
    reduce_template = """

 The following is set of summaries from the transcript:
    {doc_summaries}
    Take these and distill it into a final, consolidated summary of the main points.
    Construct it as a well organized summary of the main points and should be between 3 and 5 paragraphs.
    Answer:  
 
"""
    reduce_prompt = PromptTemplate.from_template(reduce_template)
    reduce_chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=reduce_prompt)
```

This portion of the code is focused on setting up the templates and chains for the Map and Reduce phases of the summarization process using the Langchain library, here’s a breakdown.

For the `map_template` and chain:

- A string `map_template` is defined to hold the template for mapping. The template is structured to instruct a language model to identify the main points from a portion of the transcript represented by `{docs}`.
- `PromptTemplate.from_template(map_template)` is then called to convert the string template into a `PromptTemplate` object, which is stored in `map_prompt`.
- An instance of `LLMChain` is created with the `llm` object (representing the language model) and `map_prompt` as arguments, and is stored in `map_chain`. This chain will be used to process individual chunks of the transcript and identify the main points from each chunk.

For the `reduce_template` and chain:

- A string `reduce_template` is defined to hold the template for reducing. The template is structured to instruct a language model to consolidate a set of summaries (represented by `{doc_summaries}`) into a final, organized summary of main points that should span between 3 and 5 paragraphs.
- `PromptTemplate.from_template(reduce_template)` is called to convert the string template into a `PromptTemplate` object, which is stored in `reduce_prompt`.
- An instance of `LLMChain` is created with the `llm` object and `reduce_prompt` as arguments, and is stored in `reduce_chain`. This chain will be used to process the set of summaries generated from the map phase and consolidate them into a final summary.

With the different templates and individual chain components prepared, the next step is to start building the chain itself:

```python
# summarize.py
# (... previous function code ...)

    # Takes a list of documents, combines them into a single string, and passes this to an LLMChain
    combine_documents_chain = StuffDocumentsChain(
        llm_chain=reduce_chain, document_variable_name="doc_summaries"
    )
    # Combines and iteratively reduces the mapped documents
    reduce_documents_chain = ReduceDocumentsChain(
        # This is final chain that is called.
        combine_documents_chain=combine_documents_chain,
        # If documents exceed context for `StuffDocumentsChain`
        collapse_documents_chain=combine_documents_chain,
        # The maximum number of tokens to group documents into.
        token_max=4000,
    )
    # Combining documents by mapping a chain over them, then combining results
    map_reduce_chain = MapReduceDocumentsChain(
        # Map chain
        llm_chain=map_chain,
        # Reduce chain
        reduce_documents_chain=reduce_documents_chain,
        # The variable name in the llm_chain to put the documents in
        document_variable_name="docs",
        # Return the results of the map steps in the output
        return_intermediate_steps=True,
    )
```

This code block is dedicated to setting up various chains that orchestrate the process of summarizing documents. These chains are designed to work together, with each serving a specific role in the summarization pipeline, here's a detailed breakdown.

**Combining documents chain:**

- `StuffDocumentsChain`: This chain is initiated with `llm_chain` set to `reduce_chain` and `document_variable_name` set to "doc_summaries". Its purpose is to take a list of documents, combine them into a single string, and pass this combined string to the `reduce_chain`. This is stored in the variable `combine_documents_chain`.

**Reducing documents chain:**

- `ReduceDocumentsChain`: This chain is initiated with three arguments:
  - `combine_documents_chain`: Refers to the previously defined `combine_documents_chain`.
  - `collapse_documents_chain`: Also refers to `combine_documents_chain`, indicating that if the documents exceed the context length, they should be passed to the `combine_documents_chain` to be collapsed or combined further.
  - `token_max`: Set to 4000, this argument specifies the maximum number of tokens to group documents into before passing them to the `combine_documents_chain`.
  - This chain, stored in the variable `reduce_documents_chain`, is designed to manage the iterative process of reducing or summarizing the documents further.

**The map-reduce chain:**

- `MapReduceDocumentsChain`: This is a more complex chain that orchestrates the map-reduce process for summarizing documents. It's initiated with several arguments:
  - `llm_chain`: Refers to the previously defined `map_chain`, which is used for mapping or summarizing individual chunks of documents.
  - `reduce_documents_chain`: Refers to the `reduce_documents_chain`, which is used for reducing or summarizing the mapped documents further.
  - `document_variable_name`: Set to "docs", this argument specifies the variable name in the `llm_chain` to put the documents in.
  - `return_intermediate_steps`: Set to `True`, this argument specifies that the results of the map steps should be returned in the output.
  - This chain, stored in the variable `map_reduce_chain`, orchestrates the overall map-reduce process of summarizing documents by first mapping a chain over them to summarize individual chunks, and then reducing or consolidating these summaries further.

The final step in the `summarize.py` file and the summarization function is to actually run the complete chain:

```python
# summarize.py
# (... previous function code ...)

    # Split documents into chunks
    text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(
        chunk_size=4000, chunk_overlap=0
    )
    split_docs = text_splitter.split_documents(docs)

    # Run the chain
    start_time = time.time()
    result = map_reduce_chain.__call__(split_docs, return_only_outputs=True)
    print(f"Time taken: {time.time() - start_time} seconds")
    return result['output_text']
```

This section of the code is focused on preparing the documents for processing, and executing the map-reduce summarization chain, here's a breakdown:

**Splitting documents:**

- An instance of `RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter` is created, named `text_splitter`, with a `chunk_size` of 4000 and `chunk_overlap` of 0. This object is designed to split documents into smaller chunks based on character count.
- The `split_documents` method of `text_splitter` is then called with the `docs` variable (which contains the loaded transcript) as the argument. This splits the transcript into smaller chunks, and the result is stored in the `split_docs` variable.

**Summarization Chain:**

- The `__call__` method of `map_reduce_chain` is then executed with `split_docs` and `return_only_outputs=True` as arguments. This triggers the map-reduce summarization process on the split documents. The `return_only_outputs=True` argument indicates that only the final outputs of the chain should be returned.

**Measuring LLM execution time:**

- The `time.time()` method is called at the end, and the difference between this time and `start_time` is calculated to determine the time taken to run the summarization chain.

This completes the `summarize.py` file. It may seem quite complex, but the basic principle is to prepare the prompts, prepare the map-reduce chains, and execute the final chain, splitting documents when necessary.

## Combine them all together in the Streamlit app

With all the necessary components built for the different stages of the flow, you can now focus on creating the user interface to receive a YouTube URL, process it and also display info for each stage of the process, and finally show the resulting summary.

The final step in building this summarization application is add the necessary widgets to finish the Streamlit application that you started in the first step.

You can complete the `main.py` file:

```python
# main.py

# (... previous import ..)

from download import download_audio_from_url
from summarize import summarize_transcript
from transcribe import transcribe_audio

# (... code continuation ...)

# Input URL
st.divider()
url = st.text_input("Enter YouTube URL", value="")

# Download audio
st.divider()
if url:
    with st.status("Processing...", state="running", expanded=True) as status:
        st.write("Downloading audio file from YouTube...")
        audio_file, length = download_audio_from_url(url)
        st.write("Transcribing audio file...")
        transcript = transcribe_audio(audio_file)
        st.write("Summarizing transcript...")
        with open("transcript.txt", "w") as f:
            f.write(transcript)
        summary = summarize_transcript("transcript.txt")
        status.update(label="Finished", state="complete")

    # Play Audio
    st.divider()
    st.audio(audio_file, format='audio/mp3')

    # Show Summary
    st.subheader("Summary:", anchor=False)
    st.write(summary)
```

This script is constructed to handle user input, download audio from a specified YouTube URL, transcribe the audio, summarize the transcript, and display the result using the Streamlit framework. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

**Input URL:**

- A visual divider is created using `st.divider()`.
- The `st.text_input` function creates a text input box for the user to enter a YouTube URL. The text "Enter YouTube URL" is displayed as a placeholder.

**Processing URL:**

- Within the `if` statement, a status indicator is initiated using `st.status` with the message "Processing...", and the following steps are encapsulated within this status indicator:
  - The `download_audio_from_url` function is called with the URL as an argument, and the returned audio file path and length are stored in `audio_file` and `length`, respectively.
  - Then a call to the `transcribe_audio` function with `audio_file` as the argument, storing the returned transcript in `transcript`.
  - The transcript is written to a file named "transcript.txt", and then the `summarize_transcript` function is called with "transcript.txt" as the argument, storing the returned summary in `summary`.
  - The status indicator is updated to "Finished" using `status.update`.

**Summary:**

- The `st.audio` function is used to create an audio player widget that allows the user to play the downloaded audio file, specifying the format as 'audio/mp3'.
- The summary is displayed below the subheader using `st.write(summary)`.

This concludes your YouTube summarization application, you can now run with:

```bash
streamlit run main.py
```

You should see something similar to this:

## Deploy to Koyeb

Now that you have the application running locally, depending on your CPU it might take some seconds to run the summarization. Deploy it on Koyeb and take advantage of the better processing power offered by high-performance microVMs.

Create a repository on your GitHub account, called `YouTubeSummarizer`.

Then create a `.gitignore` file in your local directory to exclude some folders and files from being pushed to the repository:

```bash
# PyCharm files
.idea
# Audio folder
audio
# Python virtual environment
venv
# Environment variables
.env
# Transcripts text file
transcript.txt
```

Run the following commands in your terminal to commit and push your code to the repository:

```bash
echo "# YouTubeSummarizer" >> README.md
git init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin [Your GitHub repository URL]
git push -u origin main
```

You should now have all your local code in your remote repository. Now it is time to deploy the application.

Within the [Koyeb control panel](https://app.koyeb.com/), while on the **Overview** tab, initiate the app creation and deployment process by clicking **Create App**. On the App deployment page:

1. Select **GitHub** as your deployment method.
2. Choose the repository that you created earlier. For example, `YouTubeSummarizer`.
3. Select the **Buildpack** as your builder option.
4. Click **Build and deploy settings** to configure your **Run command** by selecting `Override` and adding the same command as when you ran the application locally: `streamlit run main.py`.
5. In the **Instance** selection, click "XLarge". This will provide you instance a good balance between performance and cost.
6. Select the regions where you want this service to run.
7. Click **Advanced** to view additional settings.
8. Set the port to `8501`. This is the port Streamlit uses to serve your application.
9. Click the **Add Variable** button to add your Deepgram API key named `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY`.
10. Set the **App name** to your choice. Keep in mind it will be used to create the URL for your application.
11. Finally, click the **Deploy** button.

Your application will start to deploy. Please note that the first time that you run the application it will take longer because it will download the Mistral 7B model. Subsequent runs will be much faster.

After the deployment process is complete, you can access your app by clicking with the application URL.
