How to Convert Blog Post to Video with AI

There are over 30,000 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every hour, each containing valuable content that provides edification for viewers. 

However, until recently, translating this video content into written content was time-consuming and error-prone.

Now, with the emergence of AI agents, teams can automate the process of turning video into blog posts.

In the following blog, we’ll show you how to create an AI agent that transforms video into written blog posts, and how teams can benefit from it.

How Teams Turn Videos into Blog Posts

Historically, teams have turned to manual transcription to turn videos into blog posts. The process began with manually transcribing the video's content, often by replaying the footage multiple times to capture every word. A writer would then distill this raw transcript into a structured narrative, organizing it into sections with clear headlines, key points, and a logical flow. 

In recent years, teams have increasingly adopted AI-powered tools. Automatic transcription services, AI summarizers, and content repurposing platforms can now extract key takeaways, generate outlines, and even draft full blog posts from video content. These tools drastically reduce the time required to go from video to publishable content, saving teams much time, and allowing them to publish more content. 

AI Agent Overview: Video-to-Blog Agent

This video-to-blog AI agent was initially created independently by several of our customers. The AI agent became so useful that we decided to turn it into a pre-built template for any company to use. 

The agent is simple. Upload the URL of a YouTube video, and the agent will transform the transcript of the video into a written blog. In the workflow builder, you can tweak the instructions of the LLM so the agent delivers the blog to your standards.

In the next section, we’ll learn how to build the video-to-blog post agent in Stack AI. 

How to Build the Due Diligence AI Agent

Here’s how to build the video-to-blog AI agent. First, make sure to sign up for a free Stack AI account. 

Navigate to the account dashboard. Click ‘New Project’.

Click the ‘Workflow Builder’ option.

Launch the pre-built template called “Blog Post from Video.”

This will launch a workflow featuring several components with different functions. Let’s take a look at each component. 

First, let’s consider the YouTube node. This node enables the user to upload the YouTube URL that needs to be converted into a blog post.

Next, we have the Summarizer node. This summarizes the transcript of the YouTube video using a model of their choice. In this case, the model is GPT-4o. 

The Summarizer makes it easier for the LLM to parse the video and turn it into an SEO-friendly blog post.

The next node is a Knowledge Base. The Knowledge Base allows you to upload previous blog posts. This will give the LLM context on how to shape the blogs.

The LLM turns the video transcript into a written blog, based on examples from the Knowledge Base. The LLM is Anthropic - Claude 3.5 Sonnet. 

The Output box displays the written blog post.

Now let’s take a look at the Export tab.

Give your AI agent a name and a description. You can also change the UI in the drop down box at the top.

Now launch the web app. Enter a YouTube URL, and the agent will produce a written blog. 

Try the batch interface to convert multiple blogs at once. 

It’s as simple as that!
