Using Elixir and Whisper AI for Podcast Transcription in Livebook

The author demonstrates a practical application of using Elixir, an open AI model named Whisper AI, and Livebook - an Elixir's counterpart to Jupyter notebooks - to transcribe podcasts. The process involves scraping a podcast's RSS feed and extracting audio text with the help of Whisper AI. This is beneficial for extracting specific discussions from podcasts that don't provide transcripts. The video includes a walkthrough of installing dependencies, scraping episodes, using the AI model, and formatting results. The described project highlights the ability of the Elixir ecosystem to handle AI tasks effectively and outlines possible side projects one could undertake using the created transcriptions.
