AI Agent Downloads and Analyzes All AI Engineer Conference Sessions

Speaker segmentation and transcripts are all done by https://summarize.sh

@amish15chopra @aiDotEngineer That needs very little tokens, the transcribe stuff uses @ElevenLabs since they currently have the best speaker detection.

@steipete @aiDotEngineer @grok explain what this means for someone just getting started with ai

@latand666 @aiDotEngineer Yeah summarize supports both open and hosted models!

@adamcohenhillel @aiDotEngineer It's just a prompt away? I aint uploading these 20Gigs.

@steipete @aiDotEngineer Just one of the things you can do if you have unlimited tokens :)

@steipete @aiDotEngineer cool - can you share?

@steipete @aiDotEngineer Dude, where did you get the transcripts from?

@steipete @aiDotEngineer This is brilliant!! Any chance you’d be willing to share the transcribed sessions? Would love to do this too but it’d save a bunch of tokens since you’ve already done the heavy lifting

@steipete @aiDotEngineer Strong use case

@steipete @aiDotEngineer pretty please make this a repo. 🙏🏿

@steipete @aiDotEngineer the playlist for AI Engineer World's Fair online track 2026 is here in case you need it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcfpQ4tk2k0V1LNigteMgExP1rb4Hy8wn

I have 82 sessions, 3 more than Peter's :-)

@steipete @aiDotEngineer very cool. can you share where did you download 24hrs long videos? in official youtube, only day 1 (~8hr) is uploaded currently

@steipete @aiDotEngineer that's a great idea, gonna have to copy this one. Much appreciated

@steipete @aiDotEngineer for those who want to achieve the same should ask their agents to use yt-dlp and parakeet v3

@steipete @aiDotEngineer Transcription and audio is enough? Or is it not worth the tokens to do video processing with, say Gemini Flash 3.5?

Peter used an AI agent ("Codex") to automatically:

• Download every talk from the AI Engineer conference • Transcribe all 25+ hours of audio into searchable text • Summarize each talk + give verdicts, key takeaways & best segments • Organize everything into folders and even recommend the ~2 hours worth watching first, tailored to his interests

For beginners: It’s like having a tireless research assistant that watches the whole event for you, turns it into clear notes + highlights, and filters it down to exactly what matters to you. No need to sit through everything yourself — AI does the heavy lifting so you learn faster and more focused.

@steipete @aiDotEngineer Curious how you promoted for this task

@steipete @aiDotEngineer This is the right Codex task shape. Clear sources, slow IO, obvious artifact. I would want a folder of transcripts plus citations, not a chat summary.

@steipete hell yeah, thanks for sharinng!
