TLDR YouTube is an AI-powered YouTube video summarizer that helps you save time by creating instant, ChatGPT-based summaries of any YouTube video — podcasts, interviews, or lectures.

This extension uses your own ChatGPT account through the browser. TLDR YouTube automatically grabs the full transcript of the video you’re watching, opens ChatGPT in a new tab, and pastes your selected YouTube summary prompt — giving you a clear, instant overview of the content.

Simple. Private. Works instantly with your ChatGPT account.

🎯 What it does — Extracts full YouTube video transcripts (from videos with subtitles). — Generates AI summaries directly in ChatGPT. — Opens ChatGPT in a new tab (keeps YouTube clean and uncluttered). — Lets you customize prompts (“Make notes”, “Explain like I’m 12”, “Give key insights”). — Perfect for summarizing podcasts, lectures, tutorials, or reviews.

🧠 Why it’s better — Doesn’t clutter your YouTube page. — Works with any ChatGPT model available in your account. — 100% privacy-friendly – everything runs locally in your browser. — No OpenAI API key required. — Fast, lightweight, and built for productivity.

⚙️ Perfect for Everyone who wants to save time - not lose it in endless videos. Students, professionals, and creators who want to learn faster, take notes smarter, and save time with AI YouTube summaries.

💡 Tip: Try it on a 40-minute podcast. You’ll get the full meaning — without the filler.

This extension saves me a lot of time. It takes the YT transcript, sends it straight to ChatGPT with a prompt, and I get a clean summary right away. I can return to it later, ask questions, and dig deeper into the topic.
