Frequently asked questions
Is the summary reliable?
It's an AI summary generated from the video's actual transcript, and every key moment carries its timestamp: verify what matters with a click rather than trusting it blindly.
Can I ask the video specific questions?
Yes. Type the question and you get the answer with the timestamp where it appears in the video. If the video doesn't say it, it tells you so.
Does it work for videos in other languages?
Yes. The language is detected automatically; you can read the transcript translated and request the summary.
How long can the video be?
Up to 150 minutes with an account; 40 minutes the first time without one.
How much does it cost?
Free during the beta: the first time without an account, then a free account, no card required.
