About YouTube Summary with ChatGPT
YouTube Summary with ChatGPT is a free Chrome extension that generates ChatGPT-powered summaries from the transcripts of YouTube videos.
It runs on top of your existing setup rather than its own backend: summaries are generated through your logged-in ChatGPT session in the browser, and it works on any YouTube video that has a transcript or captions. It comes from Glasp, a social web highlighting and reading platform.
It fits people who already have a ChatGPT (OpenAI) account and want quick video summaries without a separate subscription. It won't fit you if you need it outside Chrome, since it's Chrome-only with no other-browser or mobile version, or if you watch videos that lack transcripts or auto-generated captions, which it can't summarize.
