Every briefing has the same structure, so you can take in a two-hour interview in a minute and jump straight to the moment you need.

A one-paragraph overview first, then the key points and the insights that connect them. Long videos are handled in full, not skimmed.
- OverviewThe whole video in one paragraph
- Key pointsThe main ideas, each with its timestamp
- InsightsWhat connects the ideas, and why it matters
- Key momentsThe turning points worth rewatching
Written formally in the video's language, and saved automatically.
Who believes what, and why
Panels, debates and podcasts are about people disagreeing. Insightube gives every speaker their own position and arguments instead of blending them into one summary.
- Each speaker's stance in their own words
- Where they agree and where they clash

YouTube summaries and transcripts, answered.
How do I get the transcript of a YouTube video?
Install Insightube and open any YouTube video that has captions. The full transcript appears in a panel beside the video, grouped into readable paragraphs by speaker, with clickable timestamps. Reading transcripts is free and needs no account; copying and downloading them as TXT or SRT is part of Pro.
How do I summarize a YouTube video with AI?
Open the video, then click Summarize in the Insightube panel. You get a short overview, key points, insights, each speaker's viewpoint and the key moments, each linked to its timestamp.
Can Insightube summarize long videos, like 2-hour podcasts?
Yes. Insightube reads the whole transcript instead of skimming. The free plan covers videos up to 30 minutes; Pro summarizes videos of any length.
Which languages does it support?
Transcripts work in any language YouTube has captions for, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Cantonese. Summaries are written in the video's language by default or in any of 69 languages you choose, and Pro can translate any summary or transcript into the language you prefer.
What are speaker viewpoints?
Instead of blending a discussion into one summary, Insightube gives each speaker their own position and arguments, and shows where they agree and disagree. It is useful for interviews, panels, debates and podcasts.
Is Insightube free?
Yes. Transcripts are free, and the free plan includes 3 AI summaries a week. Pro costs US$4.99 a month, or US$29.99 a year (about US$2.50 a month), or the same in your local currency in many countries, and adds unlimited summaries, translation of summaries and transcripts, videos longer than 30 minutes, and copying and downloading.
Where are my summaries saved?
Every summary is saved in your own browser and listed on the History page, where you can search and reread it (copying summaries is part of Pro). Your summaries are not stored on our servers.
Is my data private?
Insightube only sends the video's title and transcript to create a summary when you ask for one, and doesn't store them on our servers afterwards. We don't track your browsing, show ads or sell data. See the privacy policy for details.
