What YTSummary is

YTSummary turns a YouTube link into a written summary. It extracts the main points so students, researchers and content teams can decide whether a video is worth watching in full, or take notes without sitting through it.

What you can do with it

• Paste a link and read a summary
• Extract key points for notes
• Screen videos before committing time
• Prepare summaries for colleagues
• Work through several videos quickly

Who it is for

• Students and researchers
• Content operators
• Anyone triaging long videos

What to watch out for

• Summaries miss tone, demonstration and visual detail, which is often the point of a video
• Creators' content is copyrighted; use summaries for your own notes rather than republishing them as substitutes
• Automated extraction can misstate a speaker's position
• Verify any factual claim against the video or its linked sources
