I learn a lot from YouTube, and I wanted to build a tool that could help me retain and apply that knowledge. So, I built a second brain using AI, which helps me learn better and faster! 🚀

This is a chrome extension which automatically transcribes summarizes the content of the videos I watch. 🧠 Not just that, it can also save the markdown files for easy editing. ✨

I decided to take things a little further and added the feature for it to directly store the transcriptions and summary to Capacities as well! 📝

Is this extension free? Yes, the extension is free to use. You can download it from the Chrome Web Store.

User reviews

I've recently begun my Capacities.io adventure and was learning how to use the tools that were built for it. I was excited to try the YouTube summarizer here but did see some of the negative reviews. I tried it anyways and experienced something similar. It seemed something in the ChatGPT API had changed since the dev originally built it. So I pinged the dev and told him what was going on for me. He replied the next day and 4 days later he had a fix in place. I encourage everyone else who tried this and was disappointed to give it another chance and consider revising your review if it is now working as expected. I appreciate the young developer for his timely communication and ability to resolve the issues. And now I am getting very rich summary text for the YouTube videos I save to Capacities using this. I'm very pleased!

No longer saves the generated transcript. Clicking "save to capacities" or "save HTML" will generate a clean transcript but the results are not saved anywhere. This used to work, but something broke it.

It does not save into capacities. It gives everything to ChatGPT and and I press save to Capacities. I get the answer from ChatGPT and the summary but it does not save into capacities anymore. It used to work!
