FAQ

Questions? Answered.

How does the synced outline work?

When you click any section in the summary, it sends a timestamp command to the embedded YouTube player, jumping the video to that exact moment. As the video plays, the outline highlights your current section automatically.

What types of videos work best?

Any video with spoken content — lectures, podcasts, tutorials, interviews, conference talks, video essays. It works on any length, though longer videos benefit the most.

How accurate are the summaries?

We use state-of-the-art AI models optimized for educational content. Summaries capture key arguments, examples, and takeaways with high fidelity. You can always verify by clicking through to the original video moment.

Can I use it for non-English videos?

Yes! We support over 50 languages. The summary will be generated in the same language as the video, or you can choose to get it translated to English.

Is there an API?

Coming soon. We're building a developer API for teams who want to integrate structured video summaries into their own products. Join the waitlist to get early access.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Your account simply reverts to the free plan at the end of your billing cycle.
