TL;DWOL – Summarize videos or audio on your machine using AI

"TL;DWOL - Too Long; Didn't Watch or Listen" is a Python-based HTTP API that summarizes multimedia content. Currently, it supports YouTube, Apple Podcasts and direct audio/video file URLs. The API utilizes whisper.cpp for accurate audio-to-text transcription and llama.cpp for summarization. Besides solving a real-world problem, this project also serves as my playground for learning Python and exploring modern tools.
