Search for videos and get YouTube transcripts for summarising and analysis.

What It Does

The Videos app helps you find videos on any topic and extract the text content from YouTube videos so your mate can work with it.

Available skills:

  • Search – Searches the web for videos, documentaries, tutorials, and clips on any topic. Results show video thumbnails, titles, and durations.
  • Get Transcript – Extracts the full transcript (subtitles) from a YouTube video. Supports multiple languages including English, German, Spanish, and French. You can get transcripts from several videos at once.

Focus mode:

  • Analyse Video – When you share a YouTube link, this mode gets the transcript and then provides a detailed summary, bias analysis, and fact-checks the key claims using web searches. It rates the overall reliability of the information and identifies what context might be missing.

How to Use It

  • Search for videos: “Find tutorials about watercolour painting”
  • Get a transcript: “Get the transcript of this YouTube video: [link]”
  • Summarise a video: “Summarise this video for me: [link]”
  • Fact-check a video: Share a link and ask “Analyse this video for bias and accuracy”

Memories

  • To Watch List – Save videos you want to watch later, with the video name, link, and channel.

Tips

  • Video search results appear as preview cards with thumbnails. Click to watch in your browser.
  • Transcripts are useful for getting key points from long videos without watching the whole thing.
  • The analyse mode fact-checks claims by running web searches, so you get an independent assessment of the video’s accuracy.
  • If YouTube subtitles are not available for a video, your mate will let you know.
  • Web – General web search
  • News – Search for news articles instead of videos
  • Images – Search for images
