We’ve all been there. You find a promising 45-minute YouTube video, but you’re not sure if it’s worth your time. Or maybe you’ve watched a great tutorial and want to remember the key points without rewatching the whole thing.

That’s exactly why we built Sumdown.

What is Sumdown?

Sumdown is an AI-powered tool that generates concise summaries of YouTube videos. Instead of watching an entire video, you get the key insights in seconds. It’s perfect for:

  • Researchers who need to quickly assess if a video is relevant
  • Students who want study notes from educational content
  • Professionals staying up-to-date with industry talks and tutorials
  • Content creators researching topics for their own videos

How It Works

  1. Add a video - Paste any YouTube URL or use our browser extension
  2. Get the transcript - We extract the full transcript automatically
  3. Read the summary - Our AI generates a structured summary with key points
  4. Save for later - Build your personal library of summarized videos
