About Gobble Bot
Gobble Bot is a small web tool that converts websites, PDFs, YouTube videos and office files into a single text file. Its stated purpose is to prepare source material for a custom ChatGPT chatbot, known as a GPT, when the content is a website or video, or when it spans more than the 20 file upload limit that GPTs currently allow. The user enters a website address or YouTube link, or drags in files, and the tool returns one combined text file ready to upload as training or knowledge material.
It handles YouTube videos with transcriptions, public websites and a long list of file types, including TXT, Markdown, PDF, DOC and DOCX, ODT, RTF, HTML, XML, CSV, spreadsheet formats such as XLS and XLSX, and presentation formats such as PPTX and ODP. Sources can also be picked from Notion, Dropbox and Google Drive.
The site says processing happens on the user's device and no data is uploaded to its servers, although website addresses may be sent to a third party scraping API and basic analytics are collected. The vendor calls it a small weekend project and notes known problems with large PDFs, ePUB and MOBI books and complicated sitemaps. It is free to use, and the site says a simple usage based payment may be added later. The vendor suggests Supadata for anyone needing an API.
