YouTube Summarizer — AI-Powered Video Summaries, Your API Key

Stop watching hours of YouTube content just to find the key points. YouTube Summarizer instantly turns any video into a clear, structured summary using the AI provider of your choice - all with your own API key.


How It Works:
1. Browse any YouTube video and click the extension icon in your toolbar
2. The extension fetches the video transcript automatically
3. Pick your preferred AI model and generate a comprehensive summary


What You Get:
Each summary includes everything you need to understand a video without watching it:
- Key Takeaways — The core insights and main arguments
- Important Quotes — Notable statements with context
- Learnings & Analysis — Critical evaluation of the content
- Chapter Breakdown — Logical section-by-section walkthrough
- Q&A — Common questions the video answers


Bring Your Own Key

- Gemini (Google)
- OpenAI (GPT)

Your data stays between you and your chosen provider. No middleman servers, no hidden costs — you pay only for what your AI provider charges.

Your Privacy

YouTube Summarizer operates entirely in your browser. Video transcripts are fetched from YouTube's public API, and AI processing is done directly through your chosen provider. We never store transcripts, summaries, or API keys on any server. Anonymous usage analytics help us improve the extension — you can disable this in settings.
