Summary

Understand the lecture before you commit to the whole watch.

  • Key idea surfaced first so you do not need to hunt for the point.
  • Important steps are reduced to short notes you can skim quickly.
  • Useful when deciding whether the full video is worth your time.

Your library

Not just one summary. A place to keep what matters.

Most summarizers do one job and disappear. SummYT keeps your saved videos, summaries, transcripts, and chats together so you can come back later.

  • Save useful videos instead of starting over every time.
  • Return to the summary, transcript, or chat when you need it.
  • Build a simple personal library of videos worth keeping.
