Boundless Insight

YouTube analysis panel with transcripts, clickable timestamps, video sync, and AI analysis.

Boundless Insight adds a transcript panel and an AI analysis tab to every YouTube watch page, and Shorts too. It's built for creators studying other channels, researchers digging through long videos, and anyone tired of scrubbing. WHAT IT DOES - Transcript panel inside YouTube's sidebar. Clickable timestamps jump the video. Chapter headers, in-page search, and one-click copy all included. - Works on Shorts. The panel attaches next to the reel instead of the sidebar. - Two kinds of analysis. Breakdown shows why a video worked and what you can borrow from it. Diagnosis shows where a video lost people and what to fix first (still being tuned). - Watch it think. With Claude, the panel shows what the AI is working through before it writes, so you're never staring at a spinner. - Videos in other languages. Pick your language in settings. The transcript gets translated when YouTube offers it, and the analysis always comes back in your language. - Floating overlay for the analysis. Pop it out so you can keep reading while you scrub the video. - Everything saves. Transcripts and analyses stay until you delete them. Reloading the page or collapsing the panel does not lose your work. - History page with search, folders, and stars, so you can find an old analysis in seconds. PROVIDER CHOICE You bring the key. Pick from: - Anthropic Claude Sonnet (recommended, best results) - OpenAI GPT - Google Gemini (free, no credit card, great for trying it out) Models stay current. When a provider releases a better model, the extension picks it up without an update. Top comments are folded into the analysis automatically, no YouTube key required. Prefer to run comments on your own quota? Add a free YouTube Data API key under Advanced settings. NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGNUP, NO TRACKING The extension does not require a Boundless Creator account. There is no signup, no analytics, and no telemetry. Your transcript and prompt go from your browser straight to the AI provider whose key you pasted. The only things that touch a Boundless server are the comment fetch, which sends just the current video ID, and a small settings file naming the current models, which sends nothing. No keys and nothing that identifies you. Full privacy policy at privacy.boundlesscreator.com. SETUP - Install. The options page opens automatically on first install. - Paste your API key for the provider you want to use. Want free? Use a Google Gemini key, no card needed. Anthropic keys need a few dollars of credit loaded, which is separate from a Claude.ai subscription. - Open any YouTube video. The panel attaches to the sidebar. - Click Generate Breakdown on the Analysis tab. That's it. New to API keys?

(Dave Jeltema). I run the Boundless Creator Program for educational YouTube creators. Built originally to study competitors and analyze my own videos. Released because other people keep asking for it. :) SUPPORT Bug reports and feedback go to hello@boundlesscreator.com.
