Why I built this:
I often encounter a youtube video that gatekeeps info till the end, but I am unsure if the watch is worth the time spend. So I built this that transcribes then extracts key points from a video so I can make a more informed decision about the watch, and save a summary for future reference.
Looks well done - people may bookmark vids and want to use all their YT bookmarks as a source for the sauce. Get all the reading done in one shot.
Lastly, could a bookmarklet prompt an AI to summarize a video by pre-filling a prompt? I suppose that's what is being done here, but via hover windows.
The comment sentiment analysis could be great value, I'll experiment with this. Thank you for the idea.
As for your last point, yes, the current workflow does summarize it. Are you saying something like an open ended prompt box where I can say something like "Give me the scoop on what Alex Hormozi's last 10 video"?
Yes. Ideally that box would be in a sidebar. On that note: Gemini Chat Sidebar, Sidebar with Gemini and the official Gemini in Chrome all come to mind, for example.
I don't understand why the Chrome store says that your extension collects the
following data - this seems like it would be a security problem to anyone using your app?
Authentication information
For example: passwords, credentials, security question, or personal identification number (PIN)

It's a good idea. Also just getting the top few comments of a video grants ketchup without any inference.

No probs.

Seems like a crowded space, that could be a good thing if you differentiate well.

For example: passwords, credentials, security question, or personal identification number (PIN)
The only thing the app uses in this regards is Google OAuth for authentication.
In the permissions page, this counts as "Authentication Information"
I'm never saving passwords, credentials or security questions
