WatchGist: Summarize & Chat with YouTube Videos

About

Understand any YouTube video in seconds. WatchGist adds AI summaries and chat right next to the player — skip the fluff, jump to what matters, and ask the video anything. 🚀

★ FEATURES

✨ Instant AI Summaries
Turn any video into a study-note style summary — an overview, key points grouped by theme, a timeline, and clear takeaways. No copy-pasting transcripts.

⏱️ Clickable Timestamps
Every summary is linked to the moment it came from. Click a timestamp to jump straight to that part of the video.

💬 Chat With Any Video
Ask questions and get answers grounded in the transcript — with sources you can click to jump to. Follow up as many times as you like.

🖥️ Right Inside YouTube
The WatchGist panel sits next to the player. Nothing to copy, paste, or switch tabs for — it's there the moment you open a video.

🌍 15 Output Languages
