YouTube Research Assistant — Turn YouTube into a research tool

Stop watching hours of videos hoping to find what you need. Set your research topic, queue up videos, and let AI extract exactly the information that matters to you.

How it works

1. Set your research focus (e.g. "latest farming technology" or "small home architecture")
2. Browse YouTube and add relevant videos to your research queue
3. Hit "Process All" — AI analyzes each video's transcript and extracts only what's relevant to your topic
4. Review findings per video, then synthesize everything into one research summary
