  ▎ 2. Pick a prompt — 14 ready-to-use prompts ship with the extension.
  ▎ 3. Click ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or DeepSeek — your prompt and the

  ▎
  ▎ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  ▎ KEY FEATURES
  ▎ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  ▎
  ▎ 📚 14 ready-to-use prompts, in 7 categories
  ▎ Educational, Technical, Business, Reviews, Podcasts, Social / Content, and
  ▎ General. Match the prompt to the video — "Tech Product Review" for a phone

  ▎
  ▎ ✏️  Build your own prompt library

  ▎  French, Russian, Portuguese, Korean, Turkish, and 38 more — regardless of the
  ▎  source video's language. The selected language is strictly enforced, so an
  ▎ English video can produce a fully Arabic summary.
  ▎
  ▎ 🎛️  Quick Settings — in the panel itself
  ▎ Switch prompt, language, or AI model without ever opening the settings page.
  ▎ Perfect for moving between different video types in one session.
