## v1 vs v2

YouTube Summarizer v2 is a complete rewrite:

- **Streamlined UX** - Removed preferences and templates for a cleaner flow
- **Transcript extraction & creation** - Transcript extraction with timestamps and if no timestamps available supadata does analyse the video and create them
- **Setup Wizard** - Guided API key configuration
- **Per-User Isolation** - Each user manages their own API keys and data with better-auth state of the art auth security
- **New LLM** - Z.AI GLM-4.7 as primary model (more providers planned)
