🎥 Summarize YouTube Captions with AI – The Ultimate Time-Saving Chrome Extension ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini Integration ｜ 100% Free ｜ No Sign-up Required

YouTube is no longer just for entertainment. It's become an essential tool for learning, research, business input, language study, and skill development.

But let’s face it—there are some common frustrations:

😩 The Common YouTube Struggles You’ve Probably Faced

• “This video is over 30 minutes long... Do I really have time for this?”
• “I started watching, but I couldn’t find the main point.”
• “The video is in a language I’m not fluent in, and the subtitles aren’t helping much.”
• “I left it playing in the background but didn’t absorb anything.”
• “Saved it for later... but never went back.”

YouTube is powerful, but not built for efficient information extraction. Watching everything in full takes too long. Skimming risks missing what matters. In short—the time performance is low.

This extension solves that by letting you display YouTube captions clearly alongside the video and send them with a single click to AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for instant summarization.

• 🔓 100% free, no registration, no ads, no data collection

💡 Perfect for These Use Cases

• 🎓 Want to extract key takeaways from long lectures or interviews
• 🌍 Need to understand videos in foreign languages quickly and clearly
• 🧠 Prefer to preview a video’s content before deciding to watch

🎯 When You Boost Time Performance, Everything Changes For example: A 60-minute interview in a foreign language. → Open the captions, click a button, and get an AI-generated summary. → Within 3 minutes, you know the key points—without watching it all.

This extension creates a “know-before-you-watch” experience, letting you save time, stay focused, and learn more deeply. Say goodbye to mindless browsing or abandoned watch lists.
