Episode Recap & Video Synopsis Creation

Automatically generate comprehensive recaps and synopses of TV show episodes, long-form YouTube videos, and series content.

Creating engaging recaps of TV episodes, podcast episodes, and long-form YouTube content requires watching hours of content and distilling it into concise, structured summaries. SocialKit's API automates this process by extracting transcripts and generating AI-powered recaps that capture all key events, plot points, and moments in a fraction of the time.
