Introduction to DeepSeek and Make.com

DeepSeek is an AI startup that has made a significant impact in the world of AI models. It was built for under $6 million, which is a fraction of the cost of other industry leaders like Open AI and Clae Perplexity. Despite its low cost, DeepSeek is just as powerful as its competitors, making it an attractive option for those looking to harness the power of AI. Make.com, on the other hand, is an automation platform that allows users to build low-code or no-code pipelines to automate various tasks.

Building a Make.com Automation with DeepSeek

To get started, you'll need to create a new scenario in Make.com. Once you've got that up and running, your first step will be to input a web hook. In this case, you'll be using a custom mail hook, which will trigger whenever an email hits that mail hook. This will allow you to send an email to the mail hook and process the data.

Creating a YouTube Short Generator

To test the automation, you'll create a YouTube short generator. This will involve sending an email to the mail hook with a long-form YouTube video transcript. DeepSeek will then generate a short form script based on the transcript, and send it back to you via email.
