About Clickbait Killer — Free YouTube Summary
Stop wasting time on clickbait. Clickbait Killer summarizes any YouTube video in seconds using AI, so you get the key information without sitting through 10 minutes of filler.
🎯 How it works
A summary panel appears next to every YouTube video. Click "Summarize" and get a structured summary with TL;DR, key points, and clickbait detection — right in the page.
🆓 Two modes, both free
• Open in LLM (no setup needed) — opens Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok with the transcript auto-injected. Just hit Enter.
• Direct summary (API key required) — get streaming AI summaries directly in the YouTube page. Uses your own API key — you only pay what you use (~$0.01/summary with the cheapest models).
