Brandon is officially a vibe-coder now

Toward the end of the AI Surfer Cohort, we were challenged with vibecoding a microsolution. I didn't finish it by the deadline, but I still wanted to complete the task. First, I decided what to code.
Vital Health Global has a YouTube channel where they post various calls, particularly the AM Power calls that occur at 8 AM PT Monday through Friday. While I try to attend as many calls as I can, sometimes I have a conflict. I always tell myself I'll go back and watch the recordings, but I often don't. I'm sure some people on my team feel the same way. Who has time for all that? So, my vision for an app is a website that scrapes the transcripts from the videos and creates a one-page summary with key takeaways. There will be buttons to watch the video on YouTube, download the transcript, and share the summary with others.
I gave the task to Cody, my AI engineer, and we put a plan in place before he started. I'm using Vercel to host and Supabase to store the data. I also connected an OpenAI API to do the LLM summary. In a few hours, I have an MVP that really blew me away. So yep, I'm a vibe-coder now.

Nice. I keep thinking I need to build my own YouTube interface that I have more control over.
