Your AI knowledge base — YouTube, podcasts & more

Paste any YouTube video, podcast, or media link — or search a topic across community-shared summaries.
Free to start. Instantly know everything worth watching or listening to.

Tip: paste any link to summarize it instantly; type a topic to search the public Knowledge Base.

AI Search · Media · Community

Three things in one place: search a topic across community-shared video summaries, run YouTube videos through transcript / ASR / AI summary, and discuss what is worth watching.

🔎 AI Search

Type a topic. Find what the community already summarized — no re-watching, no re-summarizing.

→ Search the Knowledge Base

🎬 Media tools

Paste any YouTube URL. Get the transcript, ASR fallback when there are no captions, and an AI summary in your language.

→ Try the transcript tool

💬 Community

Like the summaries that helped you. Comment to add context. Surface what is worth watching for everyone.

→ Browse the Knowledge Base

How it works

  1. Search a topic, or paste a YouTube link.
  2. AI surfaces an existing community summary — or generates one from the transcript / ASR in your language.
  3. Like or comment to help others find it; save it to your personal library to revisit later.

Features

🔎 Searchable Knowledge Base

Every public summary is indexed by title, author, and full text. Find a video by what was actually said in it.

🧠 Multi-version summaries

Anyone can regenerate a summary in a new language or style. Switch versions inline; pick the one that explains it best.

🌍 Multi-language

Subtitles in any language the video has, plus AI summaries in 11 locales — read in your native language.

⏱️ Timestamps + side-by-side player

Watch and read in sync. Click any line to jump to that moment in the video.
