Best for lectures, podcasts, and long explainers

askYoutube pulls the YouTube transcript into your chosen AI assistant, so you can ask for a focused summary instead of a generic recap.

  • Ask for key points with timestamps when you need to jump back into the video.
  • Request a short executive summary before reading the detailed outline.
  • Turn long videos into study notes, meeting notes, or a decision brief.

Prompt examples that work

Start specific. The clearer your goal, the more useful the summary.

  • Summarize this lecture into five main ideas and include timestamps.
  • Extract action items from this podcast and group them by topic.
  • Give me a one-paragraph summary, then list the strongest arguments.

Good use cases

  • Summarize a 90-minute lecture before deciding which parts to watch.
  • Extract product advice from a long founder interview.
  • Create revision notes from a tutorial series video.
