I built Baketlist as a side project to solve a common problem: extracting actionable travel itineraries from YouTube travel videos. The idea is simple but powerful - fetch travel channel videos, extract their audio, convert to SRT subtitles, and use AI to summarize the itinerary and key details.

The workflow runs automatically every Monday. First, it fetches new videos from travel channels at zero cost. Then it downloads and extracts the audio, also at no cost. Finally, AI processes the audio to generate detailed itineraries, costing just over $0.0001 per audio file.

This near-zero operational cost model allows me to scale the service without worrying about infrastructure expenses. The entire pipeline runs locally, eliminating cloud hosting costs while maintaining high-quality output.
