Yesterday I was trying to catch up on an industry Q&A session someone shared on YouTube — nearly an hour long. I only needed the key takeaways, but the video had no chapters, no timestamps, nothing. Just endless rambling. I vaguely remember someone in a Telegram group dropping a link to a tool that makes quick summaries, but I didn’t save it. Anyone here use something that actually cuts to the chase?
I’ve run into that too. Youtube video summarizer has been a game changer for me. Copy the video link, paste it in, hit “Summarize Video” — done. You instantly get an AI-written overview that skips the fluff. I use it mostly for webinars and long tech talks. It’s accurate enough to decide whether I should bother watching the full thing. Can’t believe I didn’t try it sooner.
I used to hate when I’d get sent 50-minute videos “just for a quick reference.” Now I don’t even blink — I just run it through a summarizer, read the breakdown, and move on. It doesn’t replace full watching if you need details, but for scanning and filtering, it’s unbeatable. Feels like having a personal assistant.
