VidQuest AI
Research public YouTube videos with contextual AI answers and clickable keyword timestamps.
About VidQuest AI
VidQuest AI is a Chrome extension for researching public YouTube videos without repeatedly scrubbing through the timeline. It answers questions using the context of the current video and includes a Keyword Finder that returns clickable timestamps for every appearance of a word or phrase. The workflow suits students, analysts, creators, and other people who need to locate specific passages or understand a long recording quickly. Access is flexible: the Keyword Finder has a limited free tier and a £12.99 lifetime purchase, while question answering is available through free, rental, and monthly subscription options. Limits vary by plan, including maximum video length, daily question allowances, access to chat history, and Keyword Finder availability. The free subscription handles videos up to 15 minutes and five questions per day; paid tiers raise those ceilings. Because the product works through a Chrome extension and focuses on public YouTube videos, it is a narrower choice than a general research assistant, but its in-video questions and timestamp search provide a direct workflow for YouTube research.
Best for
Best use cases
Use the question tool while reviewing a public video to clarify a topic without repeatedly moving through the timeline.
Search a long interview for a named term and open each clickable timestamp to inspect the surrounding discussion.
Choose a rental for a short research session or a subscription when question answering is needed over a longer period.
Compare before choosing
More focused than a general research assistant because the workflow stays inside public YouTube video context.
Keyword Finder offers a lifetime purchase, while question answering uses free, rental, or subscription access with different limits.
Plan selection depends on video length and daily question volume, so heavy use costs more than the limited free tier.
