askYoutube
askYoutube is a browser extension that lets users ask questions, summarize, and analyze YouTube video transcripts using large language models. It addresses the challenge of extracting specific information from video content without watching the full recording.
The extension adds a prompt panel beneath YouTube videos. Users type a question, select an AI assistant, and the tool forwards the video transcript along with the prompt to that assistant's session. Supported capabilities include summarizing videos with timestamps, asking questions about tutorials, lectures, and podcasts, and analyzing claims, steps, examples, and action items. It works with ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or Gemini.
askYoutube runs on Chrome and Chromium-based browsers that support Chrome extensions. It integrates directly with the listed AI assistants through their existing sessions. The free plan provides one question per day and includes askYoutube references in generated prompts. The Pro plan costs 5.99 dollars per month or 59.90 dollars per year and removes the question limit. Guides on the site cover practical workflows such as summarizing YouTube videos with AI and using transcripts to analyze, summarize, translate, or extract details.
It belongs to the class of AI tools that operate on video transcripts to enable targeted querying and extraction.
