About 2L2W
2L2W turns a long video into something you can read in a minute — and then lets
you ask it questions.
Open a YouTube video, click the toolbar icon, and a side panel opens next to the
player. Pick a language and a format, press Summarize, and the summary streams in
as it is written. The video keeps playing. The page never changes.
WHAT YOU GET
• Six formats — detailed paragraphs, key takeaways, 80/20 (a summary plus what
the video broadly covers and the small part carrying most of the value), Q&A
for podcasts and interviews, ELI5 for technical material, and pros & cons for
reviews and comparisons.
• Three languages — Turkish, English, or the video's own language. A Turkish
summary of an English video is one press, not a translation step.
• A custom instruction that refines the format instead of replacing it: ask it to
focus on the benchmarks, or to skip the sponsor segment.
• Follow-up questions. Fast answers from the summary; Detailed re-reads the whole
transcript to catch what the summary left out. Every answer says which mode
produced it, so a shallow answer is never a mystery.
• A separate summary and conversation per tab, kept while you switch away and
come back.
BRING YOUR OWN KEY
2L2W has no server and no subscription. You paste a free Google AI Studio key
into its settings once, and requests go from your browser straight to Google —
using free-tier Gemini Flash for every feature, so it costs nothing to run.
PRIVACY
There is no backend, no database, no analytics and no telemetry. No data reaches
the author of this extension, because there is nowhere for it to be sent. Your
transcripts and questions go only to Google's Gemini API under your own key, and
are subject to Google's free-tier terms — which may include use of submitted
data to improve their models. Your API key is stored unencrypted in local
extension storage, and summaries and chats are held in memory only and cleared
when you close the browser. Full policy:

WHAT IT CANNOT DO
• A video with no captions cannot be summarized — there is no audio
transcription fallback.
• Live streams cannot be summarized while they are still running.
• Shorts are not supported.
• Summaries carry no timestamps in this version.
