SkipBait

SkipBait adds an AI panel next to YouTube videos that gives an honest title, a one-sentence TLDR, a timestamped breakdown and a list of actionable takeaways. You can also chat about the video, with answers that draw on both the transcript and live web search.

Each point in the breakdown links to the exact moment in the video, and the actionables list ties every recommendation to a timestamp and a quote. The transcript is searchable, scrolls along with playback and can be translated into more than 20 languages, while chat works in over 50.

An expanded view gives more room for reading, and a history list lets you return to videos you already summarized. The free tier includes two summary bundles a day, unlimited transcripts and a monthly allowance of chat messages and translations.
