1. Introduction: What is MeTube?

MeTube is an AI-powered online tool designed to instantly extract and summarize content from YouTube videos.

Key Features:

  • AI Summaries: Turns long videos into concise text summaries and bulleted key points in seconds.

  • Chat with Video: Similar to ChatGPT, but contextual. You can ask specific questions about the video, and the AI answers based strictly on the video's content.

  • Automated Transcripts: Generates a full, searchable word-for-word script of the video.

  • Instant Insights: Summaries and answers often include clickable timestamps, allowing you to jump directly to the relevant part of the video.

Who is it for?

  • Students: To quickly digest hours of lectures or tutorials.

  • Researchers: To filter through piles of video content for key information.

  • Creators: To analyze competitor videos and find inspiration for scripts.

  • Professionals: To grasp the core ideas of industry conferences or talks without watching the entire recording.

In just a few seconds, you will see:

  • Summary: A brief overview of what the video is about.

  • Key Takeaways: A list of the most important points, usually paired with timestamps.

  • Chapters: If the video is long, the AI will attempt to break it down into logical sections.

Step 4: Use "Chat with Video" (Advanced)

This is the standout feature. Look for the chat interface in the sidebar:

  • Ask a Question: For example, "What is the speaker's opinion on AI?" or "What are the 3 tips mentioned in the conclusion?"

  • Get Answers: The AI provides a precise answer and includes a citation link so you can verify the source in the video.

Step 5: View or Export Transcripts

If you need the raw text:

  1. Click on the "Transcript" tab.

  2. Here you can read the full script of the video.

  3. Use your browser's find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to search for specific keywords.

  4. This is perfect for copying text directly into notes apps like Notion or Obsidian.

3. Pro Tips

  • Language Support: The tool supports videos in multiple languages. You can often ask questions in your native language even if the video is in English.

  • Not Just for Study: Use it to summarize Video Podcasts. It’s the fastest way to extract value from long-form conversations.

  • Build a "Second Brain": Copy the "Key Takeaways" directly into your note-taking app. This turns a passive watching experience into a searchable knowledge asset.

Summary: MeTube is a massive time-saver. It transforms the passive process of watching videos into an active, minutes-long information gathering session.
