Ask Questions About a YouTube Video

askYoutube makes a YouTube video searchable through conversation. Open a video, ask what you need, and send the transcript to an AI assistant.

Ask targeted questions

Instead of watching an entire video to find one answer, ask the transcript about the exact detail you need.

  • What does the speaker recommend for beginners?
  • Which part explains installation, setup, or troubleshooting?
  • What are the risks, caveats, or assumptions in this video?

Use follow-up prompts

Once the transcript is in your AI session, you can keep asking follow-up questions without reopening the extension.

  • Ask for timestamps to revisit a specific moment.
  • Request a simpler explanation for a confusing section.
  • Compare the video's advice with your own notes or constraints.

Good use cases

  • Ask a tutorial where it explains a command.
  • Ask a lecture to define every key term.
  • Ask an interview to list claims and counterclaims.
