FFmpeg is a command-line tool that records, transcodes, mixes, formats, and streams multimedia content. If we don’t install it, our prompts get a warning.

apt install ffmpeg

Usage

Make sure that you are running Ollama locallly.

List all available patterns.

fabric --list

Use the summarize pattern. See pbpaste in case you don’t have it configured yet.

pbpaste | fabric -sp summarize;

Use a specific model.

pbpaste | fabric --model llama3:latest -p summarize 

You can chain patterns.

# The 's' parameter is used to enable streaming.
# However that means you can't pipe it to another command.
pbpaste | fabric -p summarize | fabric -sp write_essay

You can even go batshit insane and summarize youtube videos.
