About InsightTube
InsightTube is a mobile app that uses AI to extract actionable information from YouTube videos. It offers instant summaries, auto-generated chapters, multilingual subtitles, and a chat interface to ask questions about video content.
Review
InsightTube aims to make learning from long videos quicker and more focused by surfacing key points and organizing content for easy review. The app is early-stage and mobile-first, with a clear emphasis on educational use and practical workflows for saving and revisiting processed videos.
Key Features
- Search YouTube directly inside the app and follow channels you care about.
- Instant AI summaries and highlighted insights to capture main ideas quickly.
- Auto-generated chapters for fast navigation through long videos, including livestream recordings.
- Subtitles and translations generated even when a video has no native captions.
- Chat with the content to ask questions and save processed videos and notes to your account.
Pricing and Value
At launch, all AI features are unlocked and free for a limited time, which makes trying the app low-risk. The product is currently distributed as a mobile app (App Store link available), with a browser/web version listed as a future roadmap item. Login uses an InsightTube account to save generated summaries, subtitles, chapters, and processed videos; it does not connect to or require your YouTube account.
For users who consume long tutorials, lectures, or technical walkthroughs, the ability to quickly extract summaries and translations delivers clear time savings. The early free access window provides a good opportunity to evaluate how well the tool fits individual workflows before any paid tiers appear.
Pros
- Significantly reduces the time needed to extract main points from long videos.
- Handles multilingual subtitles and can create captions even when none exist.
- Supports videos up to two hours and recorded livestreams, which many tools skip.
- Chat feature lets you ask follow-up questions about a video's content.
- Saves processed videos and generated assets to your account for later review.
Cons
- Currently focused on mobile; web/browser access is not yet available.
