What’s OGIF?
OGIF stands for "Oh God It’s Friday." It’s our weekly Friday tradition where members share 10-minute talks. The team hops on Discord to share and discuss diverse topics like software development, engineering patterns, industry trends, finance, entrepreneurship, blockchain, AI, and a mix of other cool stuff. It’s a quick, engaging way to learn something new.
We value the importance of sharing our work with other people at Dwarves. And it's a chance for people who don't work directly on development to feel included in the process.
Meet the OGIF memo summarizer
Working in collaboration with my colleague @innno_, we crafted a chatbot using Dify. This bot transcribes YouTube videos and extracts key points from our OGIF sessions. The result? A major boost in our ability to review and reference the knowledge shared during these meetings.
How it works?
YouTube Transcription: We integrated a YouTube transcription workflow as a function-calling tool for our chatbot.
Intelligent Summarization: The chatbot generates structured summaries from the transcribed content using a well-designed prompt.
Three-Tier Summary Structure:
- Short summary: 3-5 key timestamps with brief descriptions of the most important topics.
- Detailed summary: Comprehensive timestamps, each with 2-3 bullet points providing in-depth information.
- Languages: The summary is available in both English and Vietnamese.
The prompt
The core of our summarizer is the prompt we’ve meticulously designed. Here’s what it does:
- Generates structured summaries with accurate timestamps.
- Creates clickable links to specific points in the video.
- Offers both a quick overview and detailed insights.
- Maintains consistent formatting for easy reading.
- Provides a comprehensive overview of the video content.
Benefits
- Time-Saving: Team members can quickly grasp the main points of a session without watching the entire video.
- Easy navigation: Clickable timestamps for swift access to specific topics of interest.
- Knowledge retention: The structured summary serves as a reliable reference for future use.
- Improved accessibility: Makes the session content more accessible to team members who couldn’t attend live.
What’s next?
We’re always looking to enhance our OGIF Memo Summarizer. Some future ideas include:
- Integrating automatic tagging for easy topic categorization.
- Implementing a search function across multiple summaries.
- Creating a visual timeline of topics discussed over multiple sessions.
Wrapping up
The OGIF Memo Summarizer has improved our weekly knowledge-sharing sessions. Using AI, we've made a system that saves time and enhances the value of our Friday office hours.
We recommend other teams try similar tools to streamline their knowledge-sharing. In software engineering, efficient learning and sharing information can give you a big advantage.
Happy coding and happy sharing.
