YouTube Summary with AI

What it does

YouTube Summary with AI sends a video's transcript to the AI chatbot you already use, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Mistral or Grok, and returns a skimmable summary. It runs only on YouTube and is for viewers who want the key points fast.

Key features

• Adds a Summarize button in a panel beside YouTube videos
• Opens your chosen AI chatbot with the transcript already loaded
• Lets you ask further questions about the video in a chat
• Supports a keyboard shortcut to start a summary
• Runs only on YouTube and the chat site you pick

Use cases

• Getting the main points of a long talk in a few lines
• Asking follow-up questions about a tutorial
• Reviewing a lecture before an exam

Getting started

Open a YouTube video and click Summarize in the panel next to it, or press your shortcut; your chosen chatbot opens and writes the summary.

Good to know

You need access to the AI chatbot you select, since the summary is written there. It only summarizes YouTube videos, not other pages.
