YouTube Summary

About

YouTube Summary extracts video transcripts and generates concise AI-powered summaries — saving you hours of watching time.

How it works:
1. Navigate to any YouTube video
2. Click the "Summary" button that appears on the page
3. Get a well-structured summary in the side panel within seconds

Two summarization modes:

SoftCreator API — Fast cloud-based summarization (5-10 seconds). 

AI Chatbots — Use your existing ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok account. The extension opens the chatbot, sends the transcript, and streams the response back to the side panel automatically.

Privacy-first design:
