Show HN: An AI Tool to Summarize YouTube Videos

2 omitchen 0 8/27/2025, 2:36:46 AM vdown.me ↗

Hi HN,

I often watch long lectures or conference talks on YouTube, but usually only a few minutes contain the key points I need. I wanted a way to get the gist quickly, so I built a small tool to summarize YouTube videos using AI.

How it works: you paste a YouTube link, and it generates a short summary plus key transcripts. The backend is optimized so results come back in a few seconds.

Design choices: - No accounts or logins (I wanted it to be instantly usable). - Free to use (I run it as a side project). - Focused on speed and simplicity.

It’s still early and I’d love feedback on: - Whether the summaries feel useful/accurate - Which extra features would make it more helpful (timestamps, exporting, etc.) - Any issues you run into

Thanks!
