Paste a YouTube link, get a clean, SEO-friendly blog post
Video to Blog turns a YouTube video into a clean, SEO-friendly blog post from a single link. It’s for creators, educators and marketers who want more from the videos they already make. I designed the product and built the front-end and the LLM pipeline behind it.
01The problem
A good video holds a blog post’s worth of ideas, but rewriting it by hand takes time most creators don’t have, and a raw transcript reads badly as an article. The tool had to turn spoken content into structured, readable writing that still sounds like the creator.
Who it’s for
Video creators
A written version of each video without writing it from scratch.
Teachers and educators
Lessons turned into readable notes and articles for students.
Content marketers
Search-friendly posts from video content they’ve already made.

04Key decisions
Decision 01
Turning a video into a post takes a while, and a single spinner leaves users wondering if anything is happening.
Considered
One LLM call from transcript to finished post, behind a loading spinner.
Chosen
I split the work into stages (transcribe, summarise, structure, write) and show each stage as it completes.
Why it works
Smaller steps were easier to tune and debug, and visible stages tell users what is happening during the wait.
Decision 02
Spoken language repeats itself and wanders, so even a cleaned-up transcript still reads like speech.
Considered
A tidied transcript with timestamps as the output.
Chosen
The pipeline rewrites the content as an article with a title, an intro, headed sections and a conclusion.
Why it works
Readers and search engines both expect an article’s structure. The transcript is the input, not the product.
Decision 03
AI drafts come close but are rarely final, and creators want the post in their own voice.
Considered
A one-click download of the generated post.
Chosen
The post opens in an editor with title, headings and meta description ready to change, then copies out in one click.
Why it works
A quick edit keeps the creator in charge of what goes out under their name, and SEO fields are hard to forget when they sit on the page.
05What’s inside
Paste a YouTube link and get a full blog draft back.
Turns the video’s audio into text as the first stage of the pipeline.
Restructures spoken content into an article with clear headings.
Drafts a title, headings and meta description written for search.
Lets creators edit the post before they copy it out.
06How it was built
I designed it and wrote the code, so the design survived contact with reality.

What I learned
Breaking one big AI step into small ones made the output easier to tune and the wait easier to explain.
The transcript was never the product. Users wanted something they could publish.
