Get the gold from any YouTube video.
Skip the hours.
usum adds a panel right on YouTube that turns any video into insights, chapters, comments and a full transcript, so a two-hour video takes two minutes.
Searchable transcript
The full transcript, right beside the player. Search any word to find where it was said, click any line to jump to that exact moment, and copy the whole thing to your clipboard in one click to paste anywhere you like.
Key insights
The substance of the video, pulled out and grouped by theme so the signal is separated from the filler. A TL;DR sits up top, then the key points underneath. Pick the angle you want, insightful, actionable or contrarian, and read only what matters.
Timestamped chapters
An auto-generated chapter map of the entire video. Every chapter is a clickable timestamp, so you can scan the structure in seconds and jump straight to the part you actually came for, no scrubbing the timeline.
Comments summary
The comment section, distilled. Overall sentiment at a glance, plus the recurring themes, praise, questions and debate, so you get the crowd's real take on a video without scrolling through thousands of replies.
