How to Use

Open a YouTube video. For example: open this video →

On the video page, you should see the Quicktube widget. Click on the widget to open it up.

When you expand the widget, you should see the video transcript with timestamps and the Summarize Video button. Click on it. This will open ChatGPT (by default), and you will get the summary of your YouTube video. You can ask follow-up questions to the AI model to get more information.

Finally, you can click on the Open Settings button to open up the Settings page. The settings page lets you change the summarization model, language, and other settings.
If you have ChatGPT Plus, you can change the default ChatGPT model to ChatGPT 4 to get the better results.
If you have Google One AI Premium, you can change the default Gemini version to Advanced to get the better results.
Go To Extension Settings →
