1. Overview

This is a backend service for automatically tracking the creators you follow and summarizing their newly published videos (including older content).

The system periodically checks whether specified creators have released new videos, automatically performs download → transcription → content refinement, and delivers structured, concise summary reports to the configured destination.

This enables you to quickly grasp the core viewpoints and high-frequency insights from a large volume of creator content in a very short amount of time.
