YouTube Notes AI - Summary, Transcript & Key Moments Generator

About

📊 YouTube Notes AI helps you review the currently open YouTube watch page faster by turning available video data into a structured report.

✨ The extension can include:
📌 Video metadata overview (channel, publish date, engagement stats when available)
💬 Audience discussion highlights from sampled comments
❓ Viewer questions and common critiques
🔑 Keyword/topic signals
🚀 Creator and learner-oriented next-step ideas
📝 Caption/transcript handling when caption tracks are available
📤 Export options for report and transcript workflows

⚙️ How it works:
1️⃣ Open a YouTube watch page
2️⃣ Click the extension icon
3️⃣ Run analysis
4️⃣ Review and export the generated report

🤖 AI analysis availability:
✨ AI-enhanced analysis is optional
🔑 To use AI mode, add your own OpenRouter API key in extension Settings
📄 If no AI key is configured, the extension still works and provides a local non-LLM report based on available page data

⚠️ Important limitations:
📌 Transcript/caption availability depends on whether the video provides usable caption tracks
🚫 Some videos may not expose transcripts due to platform restrictions or unavailable captions
📊 Output quality depends on the data available (captions, metadata, comments)

🔒 Privacy and data handling:
💾 Local settings and cache are stored in extension storage
🌐 External AI requests are made only when the user configures an API key and runs AI analysis
📢 No claim is made that every video will produce full transcript-based AI output

📢 Disclaimer:
This extension is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube.
