SummarizeYou
Turn public YouTube videos into key points, subtitles, time-stamped sections, video chat, and mind maps across free and paid usage tiers.
About SummarizeYou
SummarizeYou turns a public YouTube URL into an AI-generated overview, key points, full subtitles, and a time-stamped breakdown. After a user pastes a link, the web service extracts the audio, transcribes the content, and analyzes it with a selected ChatGPT, Claude, or DeepSeek model. Results can be reviewed, saved, or shared. Video chat and mind-map generation provide additional ways to inspect the material. The Free plan includes 50 credits per 30 days, five video summaries, ten subtitle downloads, and ten video-chat uses. Basic and Ultra increase monthly credits, summary and subtitle allowances, supported video duration, and access to advanced features; Ultra also includes priority support. SummarizeYou is aimed at students, researchers, creators, and anyone who wants to identify the relevant parts of a long YouTube video before watching it in full. Recurring credit allowances and maximum video duration affect ongoing use, while the paid tiers require monthly subscriptions.
