ChatGPT has come a long way since it was first released to the public and GPT-4 has now introduced support for third-party plugins, which helps to introduce a ton of new creative ways to use the AI. This isn’t the only way to get the most out of ChatGPT though, there are a ton of community developed open source tools that can help you do a lot more with ChatGPT if you want to stick with the free version.

One way to do this is by using Vlog, a tool that helps you convert documents into videos that you can then chat and discuss using ChatGPT. So if you want to transcribe, articulate, or discuss videos with an AI, this is the perfect tool for you. Here’s how you can use Vlog to convert a video into a document and chat about the same using ChatGPT.

Converting a video to a document has a few advantages. You can create a detailed description of the provided video with Vlog, which can then be analyzed by ChatGPT for various outputs. You can generate summaries, speculations, and descriptions about different parts of the video, analyze hidden details, and much more. Vlog is a community-developed tool hosted on GitHub that uses pre-trained models including BLIP2, GRIT, and Whisper.

BLIP2 is used to analyze images in the video, while GRIT is used to analyze the environment. On the other hand, Whisper is used to check and analyze the audio in the video and create your document accordingly. These models are pre-trained and the entire project is available for download on GitHub. The developer also has a HuggingFace demo that you can use to test and analyze the capabilities of Vlog.
