Products that do what YouTubeTldw: ad‑free, login‑free YouTube summaries in a flash does
I made an open source, no BS youtube summary website that makes use of the tldw [1] python library to create really quick youtube summaries. The longer a talk is, the more ad revenue a creator gets. But we don't all have 40 minutes to listen to someone slowly edge around a point. This website has no ads, no login, and is 100% free.You can find the source code here [2].

Hi, I'm Alex. I created Eightify to take my mind off things during a weekend, but I was surprised that my friends were genuinely interested in it. I kept going, and now it's been nine weeks since I started. I got the idea to summarize videos when my friend sent me a lengthy video again. This happens to me often; the video title is so enticing, and then it turns out to be nothing. I had been working with GPT for 6 months by the time, so everything looked like a nail to me. It's a Chrome extension, and I'm offering 5 free tries for videos under an hour. After that, you have to buy a package.…

Hi all! I put together a website that summarizes youtube videos. Enter any YouTube URL, and it will give you an overall summary, individual chapter summaries, along with key video frames.

Hello HN! Between academics and everything else on my plate, I still find myself watching way too many YouTube videos. So I built `youtubegist` - just add `gist` after `youtube` in any video URL to get an instant summary. Before: https://youtube.com/watch?v= After: https://youtubegist.com/watch?v= I know there are other YouTube summarization tools, but they're either cluttered, paywalled, or don't format summaries the way I need them. So I made my own that's free, open source, and dead simple. One cool thing, if you install it as a PWA (on Android using Google…

Hello, HackerNews community! I'm thrilled to announce the release of QuickVid - An Open Sourced AI Video Summarization Tool. This tool empowers you to generate concise summaries of YouTube videos using the power of artificial intelligence. GitHub Repository: https://github.com/metaloozee/quickvid Demo: https://quickvid-alpha-69c4256152f9.herokuapp.com/ NOTE: The demo might only work properly if you provide a short video, providing a long video will take more time and eventually heroku will timeout the API requests. Thanks.

There are many commercial YouTube summarizers, but I couldn't find an open-source one that truly fit my needs. So, I built YouTubeTLDR: a simple, self-hostable solution that uses the Gemini API without much bloat. I went with a synchronous approach + threading which was a nice break from Tokio. It is Bring Your Own Key, but the key is sent to the server for each request, which is something I might revise in the future. There is a demo on https://youtubetldr.onrender.com/

Hey, it’s Brendan – creator of Vid2Sum, a free AI-powered YouTube summarizer. I built this to help people save time by getting the key takeaways from long videos instantly. You can try it here: www.vid2sum.com I made this because, like many of you, I often find myself jumping around in YouTube videos, trying to find the most relevant parts. Instead of scrubbing through hours of content, I wanted an AI tool that could generate concise summaries in seconds. Making this effective required optimizing three key things: accuracy, speed, and usability. The AI had to generate relevant summaries…

I don't know about you but I have already personally paid for online courses at more than €600 to become a better freelancer and I ended up hearing from one of the biggest creators of French-speaking online courses that in reality all the information sold in the online courses are available on the Internet. It's just that it would take a long time to find them all whereas by buying an online course all the information is gathered for you and you don't have to search so yes this information are technically free but by paying for the online course you especially save time. So I wondered if it…
