What is SkipTube AI

From the Chrome Web Store

Automatically skip sponsorships and irrelevant content in YouTube videos using AI SkipTube AI helps you get to the useful part of YouTube videos faster.

The extension reads available video transcripts, analyzes them with your chosen provider, then marks sponsorships, intros, outros, donation reads, and self-promotional segments on the player timeline. You can let it skip those segments automatically or use the markers manually.

You choose Anthropic Claude or OpenAI and use your own API key. Settings, statistics, and cached analyses are stored locally on your device.

4. Reuse cached results The same video can use the local cache for up to 30 days, reducing repeat API calls.

PRIVACY

SkipTube AI has no developer-operated backend server. Settings, statistics, API keys, and cached analyses are stored locally in Chrome storage.

Data sent outside your browser:

Video transcript text is sent only to the provider you select
If extraction fails, a limited page-structure snapshot may be sent to the same provider for recovery
Scripts, styles, and images are stripped from the recovery snapshot where possible

The extension developer does not sell user data or add tracking.
