About Gotcha

Gotcha is a Chrome extension for language learners. Before each foreign-language YouTube video plays, Gotcha pulls the captions, sends them to an AI model, and produces a one-page learner briefing tailored to the video: • A short summary of what the video is about • Useful phrases with translations and usage notes • Vocabulary highlights, filtered against words you've already marked as "known" • Cultural and grammar notes when the video calls for them • A CEFR-style difficulty badge (A1 / A2 / B1 / B2 / C1) This means you walk into each video already knowing the hard parts, instead of getting lost five seconds in. Languages We're starting with German — Gotcha activates on YouTube videos that have German captions. More languages are on the roadmap; the architecture is multi-language-ready and we'll roll them out as we validate the briefing quality for each. How it works 1. Open any YouTube video with captions in a supported language. 2. Gotcha automatically pauses the video and shows the briefing as an overlay. 3. Click "Start video" when you're ready — the briefing stays accessible while you watch. 4. Mark phrases or words as "I know this" so future briefings skip them. Plans • Free — 3 briefings per day, up to 30-minute videos. • Pro (€5/mo or €50/yr) — 15 briefings per day, up to 90-minute videos. • Pro+ (€15/mo or €160/yr) — 60 briefings per day, up to 4-hour videos. Plus an anonymous mode that lets you try one briefing without signing in. Privacy We collect: your Google email when you sign in, your Stripe customer record when you subscribe, and the video IDs of briefings you request. We don't sell or share data, don't use tracking cookies, and you can request deletion at support@getgotcha.app. Full policy: https://getgotcha.app/privacy Terms: https://getgotcha.app/terms Support: support@getgotcha.app
