About YouGist

YouGist turns any YouTube video into a fast, detailed summary you can actually read in 30 seconds. WHAT IT DOES • Opens in the Chrome side panel — no leaving the video page • Pulls the video's transcript and sends it to the AI provider you've configured • Returns 10 numbered key points (2 to 4 sentences each), preserving names, numbers, examples, and reasoning • Includes the full transcript with a one-click Copy button • English and Vietnamese output supported BRING YOUR OWN AI YouGist does not charge for summaries and includes no AI account of its own. You connect it to an AI provider you already use, and your usage is billed by that provider directly. Free local model runners are also supported if you prefer to keep everything on your own machine. Your API keys stay in your browser. They are sent directly from your browser to the provider's official API, never to YouGist's servers. LIGHT, FAST, FOCUSED • Apple Music-inspired dark UI with a one-click light / dark toggle • Side panel, not a popup — stays open while you watch the next video • Cancel mid-summary if you change your mind WHY THE BACKEND IS THERE YouTube blocks browser-origin requests to its caption API for auto-generated transcripts, so the extension fetches captions through a small developer-hosted backend (yougist.kuberscan.com). The backend ONLY fetches transcripts — your API keys and the final summary content never touch it.
