The problem
You subscribe to great channels. Keeping up feels impossible.
“Productive” YouTube is weirdly addictive and not relaxing. Most videos ask for your time before they prove value. You want the insights, not another 40 minutes when you should be winding down.
Autosum is a filter, not just a summariser: you get permission to skip without FOMO, because the signal arrives in your inbox and dashboard, often before you ever open YouTube.
How it works
From late-night loops to a calm inbox, in three steps.
Many of us started by copying transcripts into ChatGPT just to keep up. Autosum automates that habit: watch the channels you care about, skip the doom-scroll, and decide in seconds if a video is worth your time.
Why this exists
- 1The trap: staying “informed” turns into endless scrolling, especially for AI, business, and builder content.
- 2The hack: summarising transcripts worked, but it was manual, easy to fall behind, and still pulled you back to the platform.
- 3Autosum: the same outcome, automated, so you can skim what ten channels posted in minutes, not hours.
- 01
Choose the channels you actually care about
Paste a channel URL once. We poll uploads on a schedule, so you never have to “check YouTube just in case.”
- 02
New videos are processed automatically
When a long-form video appears, we pull a transcript where available, run it through DeepSeek (V3-class model), and store a structured breakdown.
- 03
You decide without opening the feed
TL;DR, key points, actionable steps when relevant, notable quotes, and a clear “worth watching?” verdict. Open YouTube only when it’s worth it.
“Weirdly addictive but not relaxing, summaries first, then decide what to watch.”
“The sharper pain is not summaries, it is knowing what is actually worth your time.”
“A permission layer: ignore content without FOMO.”
What you get
Everything that matters. In seconds.
Each video becomes a structured breakdown: TL;DR, key points, actionable insights when the content supports it, tags, quotes, and a straight answer on whether the full watch is worth it.
Example summary
Fictional illustration. Your summaries follow this shape.
TL;DR
A solo operator shares how they productised a design subscription, scaled recurring revenue without a large team, and what they would copy if they started again today.
Key points
- Productised services reduce sales friction with clear scope and pricing.
- Demand signals should drive price increases, not burnout.
- AI tooling can expand throughput without diluting positioning, if workflows stay tight.
Actionable insights
- → Ship a narrow offer with a single landing page and a repeatable delivery checklist.
- → Raise prices when turnaround times slip. Capacity is a signal.

Questions
FAQs
- How is this different from “Ask AI” on YouTube?
- Autosum works before you open YouTube. Summaries are proactive in email and dashboard, so you avoid the discovery loop that pulls you in.
- Does it work with any public channel?
- Any public long-form channel you can paste. Shorts and some live or music-heavy uploads may not yield transcripts, so we skip gracefully.
- How fast are summaries?
- Polling runs on a schedule (e.g. every few minutes in production). Processing typically completes shortly after a transcript is available.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes, use the billing portal in Settings when Stripe is configured.
