It adds a button on YouTube videos where, when you click it (or keyboard shortcut ctrl + x + x), it opens a new tab into the LLM chat of your choice, pastes the entire transcript in the chat along with a custom message you can add as a template (“Explain the key points.”) and then automatically presses enter to get the chat going.
It’s pretty easy to get a quick summary of a YouTube video without needing to watch the whole thing and then ask follow-up questions. It seems like an easy way to save time or do a quick survey of many YouTube videos. (I would not have bothered going through the entire “Team 2 | Lo fi Emulation @ Whole Brain Emulation Workshop 2024” talk, so it was nice to get the quick summary.)
I usually like getting a high-level overview of the key points of a talk to have a mental mind map skeleton before I dive into the details.
You can even set up follow-up prompt buttons (which works with ChatGPT but currently does not work with Claude for me), though I’m not sure what I’d use. Maybe something like, “Why is this important to AI alignment?”
The default prompt is “Give a summary in 5 bullet points” or something similar. I prefer not to constrain Claude and change it to something like, “Explain the key points.”
I used to use that one but I moved to Sider: https://sider.ai/pricing?trigger=ext_chrome_btm_upgrd
it works in all the pages, including youtube. For Papers and articles I have shortcut to automatically modify the url (adding the prefix ”https://r.jina.ai/″) so you get the markdown and then do Sider on that. With gpt4o-mini it is almost free.
Also nice is Sider is that you can write your own prompt templates
Low-hanging fruit:
Loving this Chrome extension so far: YouTube Summary with ChatGPT & Claude—Chrome Web Store

Thanks for sharing, will give it a shot!
Edit: Sider seems really great! I wish it could connect to Claude chat (without using credits), so I will probably just use both extensions.
