Frequently Asked Questions

How short are the notes?

Most summaries take 2–3 minutes to read, regardless of the original video length. They're structured for quick scanning — not long-form reading.

How does it work?

We extract the video's spoken content, analyze it with AI, and generate a structured summary highlighting the main points, insights, and takeaways.

How long can the videos be?

You can summarize videos of any length, including long podcasts, lectures, and interviews that are 1–3 hours or more.

How long does it take to generate a summary?

Most summaries are ready in under a minute, depending on the video length.

How accurate are the summaries?

Summaries are generated directly from the video's content. While no AI is perfect, the goal is to stay faithful to what's actually said, not invent new information.

Is this free to use?

There's a free tier to try it out. Paid plans unlock higher limits for frequent users.

Will it leave out important details to keep it short?

The AI focuses on the key ideas and cuts filler — but nothing important is removed. The goal is density, not truncation.
