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.

Publish answer-first pages with extractable facts, get listed on directories and review sites the engines crawl, and build consistent mentions across Reddit, YouTube, and your own site. Perplexity tends to favour recent content; ChatGPT appears to weight agreement across sources.

If you built something with AI, posting is getting hard to ignore. GaryVee's 'interest media' shift is real — more feeds now recommend content by interest, not only by who follows you — so a maker with zero followers can sometimes out-reach an established brand. That's the unlock and the mandate: building got faster, getting seen is the job, and many products struggle to grow without it. Here's the honest first move, written for a builder who would rather ship a feature than post.
