| 2024-11-21 |  | | en | Sent me in a loop unable to log in, I checked and reset and allowed every setting, blocker, security permission, everything- could not get it to work on a single video. What made me most angry is that any search on Reddit for help was just a mention to "try gist.ly" and a ton of shiII reviews. If you're going to spam the earth with reviews and suggestions, at least make it work first. |
| 2024-10-31 |  | | en | I have two issues with this extension. First, it pretends to be a free extension. There's nothing in the screenshots or the long overview about the however many $/month subscription costs. The second is that choosing the "free account" which I don't even know what features it offers, it doesn't completely onboard or auth because the extension allways says "Log in to start summarizing videos". |
| 2024-09-12 |  | | en | Works great, using it everyday to skim course videos. The free plan is great for now but I'm thinking of upgrading because translations and summarising long videos are premium features. Overall I'd say this is a great tool if you need to watch videos for school, nowadays it's easy to get help of AI to automatically get notes without watching the whole thing. |
| 2024-09-10 |  | | en | Worked great, but only did about ~50 min of a 9 hour video. Doesn't permit using API keys from the actual AI providers, and no web link to them either. |
| 2024-06-23 |  | | en | I haven't found a way to turn it off for videos that you don't want summarized. This would be especially helpful for the free plan that only gives you 5 summaries a day. |
| 2024-06-23 |  | | en | Absolutely brilliant! I wish a tool like this existed a long time ago. Would've saved me countless hours. Much easier to speed-read than speed-listen. |
| 2024-06-17 |  | | en | It gives concise, accurate summaries that save me tons of time 👍 👍 |
| 2024-06-13 |  | | en | Useful insights and transcripts! Great way to quickly get the gist (🙃) of a video |
| 2024-06-13 |  | | en | As someone who consumes a lot of YouTube content, especially longer videos and podcasts, Gistly's AI-powered summaries have been a timesaver. Instead of having to watch hours of footage, I can now quickly get the key insights in a few seconds. |
