Our bots suffer through the whole thing (they never complain about sponsor segments)
Get a concise summary texted back in under 60 seconds
My uncle keeps sending me 90-minute videos about "the truth they don't want you to know" (spoiler: it's always vitamins).
So I built this thing that summarizes them in 60 seconds. Then my friends wanted it. Now you have it.
Maybe someday I'll charge the people who send us 100 links per day. For now, consider it my contribution to humanity's fight against YouTube's recommendation algorithm.

yes. if it's on YouTube and has a transcript (most videos do), we can summarize it. podcasts, tutorials, lectures, conspiracy theories about birds—all fair game.
usually 30-60 seconds. longer videos might take a bit more, but you'll always get your summary within 2 minutes.
it's free. we might charge heavy users someday, but if you're texting us 100 links a day, we should probably talk about your YouTube habit first.
better than skipping randomly through the video at 2x speed while scrolling Twitter. we use AI to read the full transcript and pull out key points. not perfect, but pretty useful.
