What is YouTube Summary with AI

From the Chrome Web Store

Summarize any YouTube video in one click with ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Mistral or Grok. Fast, lightweight and free. Get the key points of any YouTube video in seconds. YouTube Summary with AI turns long videos into clear, skimmable summaries using the AI you already use: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Mistral or Grok. Lightweight, fast and free. No sign-up, no API key.

Why watch 45 minutes when you only need 5 key points? One click next to any YouTube video sends its transcript to your favorite AI chatbot and gives you a summary right away. Then you can keep chatting to ask follow-up questions, dig into details or go further.

HOW IT WORKS 1. Open any YouTube video. 2. Click the Summarize button in the panel beside the video, or press your keyboard shortcut. 3. Your chosen AI opens with the transcript already loaded and writes the summary.

DOES ONE THING, AND DOES IT FAST Many AI extensions try to summarize every web page, PDF and email, add a sidebar to every site, and end up slowing down your browser. This one only summarizes YouTube videos, and every part of it is built around that.

Fast: the transcript loads the moment you open a video, and your summary starts in the time it takes to open a tab.
Lightweight: it runs only on YouTube and the AI chat you pick, and adds nothing to any other site you visit.
Minimal permissions: it can't read your browsing history or the other websites you visit. It only saves your settings.
Stays out of your way: a small panel next to the video that won't slow down playback or clutter the page.
