YouTube Transcript AI Summary

Pulls YouTube transcripts and summarizes them with OpenAI, Gemini or Claude so you can review long videos and articles quickly.

What it does

YouTube Transcript AI Summary retrieves a video's transcript and condenses it with OpenAI, Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude so you can review long content quickly. It also handles articles and documents, and suits learners and researchers who process a lot of long-form material.

Key features

  • Fetches YouTube transcripts and produces an automatic AI summary
  • Lets you send content manually to ChatGPT with your own instructions
  • Splits long text into smaller sections for easier reading
  • Supports summarising articles and documents as well as videos

Use cases

  • Reviewing the main points of a long podcast episode on YouTube
  • Summarising an online lecture with a custom focus
  • Breaking a long article into sections before reading

Getting started

Open a YouTube video or article and use the extension's summary option, or choose manual mode to send the text to ChatGPT with your own prompt.

Good to know

Transcripts and text are sent to the AI provider you choose, which may need an account or API key with that provider. Videos without transcripts cannot be summarised.
