Chat With a YouTube Video
Paste a lecture or tutorial link and ask what was said, instead of scrubbing the timeline. The transcript becomes something you can question.
Ask the lecture a question
Everything the presenter said becomes text you can search by meaning. The part you half remember is one question away instead of ten minutes of scrubbing.
- Answers come from the transcript
- It works from what was actually said in the video you added, not from general knowledge of the topic.
- Ask in your own words
- You do not need the presenter's phrasing — describe the idea and it finds where they covered it.
- Combine it with your notes
- Add the slide deck or your own PDF to the same chatbot and one question searches across all of them.
How it works
Four steps, and none of them involve downloading a video.
Paste the video link
Add a YouTube URL as a source. Nothing is downloaded — the transcript is what gets read and indexed.
The transcript is indexed
Spoken content becomes searchable text, split into sections so an answer can point at the part of the video it came from.
Ask instead of scrubbing
Skip dragging the progress bar looking for the bit you half remember. Ask what was said and get it back in a sentence.
Mix it with your notes
Add the lecture PDF to the same chatbot and it answers across both, which is closer to how you actually revise.
Why video
You can skim a document. You cannot skim a two-hour recording.
A two-hour lecture is not searchable
Video is the worst format to look something up in. Turning the transcript into something you can question fixes that.
It works on what was actually said
Answers come from the transcript of the video you added, not from a model's general knowledge of the subject.
Video and documents in one chatbot
Lecture recordings, the slide deck, and your notes can all be sources for the same chatbot, so one question searches all of them.
YouTube links start on the Student plan
The free tier does not include YouTube sources. The Student plan adds them, with more links and longer videos on the plans above.
Questions
What people ask before adding their first video.
More for students
The same platform, pointed at the rest of your material.
Get started
The Student plan adds YouTube links on the Student plan, alongside your documents.
Start with the lecture you keep rewatching. If you have scrubbed through the same recording twice looking for one explanation, that is the one to add first.
