The problem
I was burning 30–40 minutes on hour-long videos just to find one recommendation or answer. The content was already there — it just was not accessible the way I needed. The same pain showed up for students scrolling lectures, researchers hunting data points, and anyone trying to skip to the useful part of a tutorial.
What I built
- Chat with any video — ask questions in natural language
- RAG-powered search — semantic retrieval over the transcript
- Instant answers — responses in under three seconds
- Context awareness — follow-up questions retain the conversation
- Lightweight extension — minimal footprint inside YouTube
Outcome
- of watch time saved
- 60–90%of watch time saved
- answer satisfaction
- 85%+answer satisfaction
