Gistil: AI YouTube Summary & Verdict — is it worth watching?

AI YouTube summarizer with a verdict: worth watching or not, how much is filler, and one button that plays only the useful minutes.

You open a 30-minute video. Ten minutes in, you realize it could have been three. Gistil summarizes the video — giving you the gist in 20 seconds with key timestamps — then does what standard AI summarizers cannot: it tells you if the video is worth your time at all. Get an instant verdict (KEEP, SKIM, or SKIP) with a one-sentence reason, a minute-by-minute value map, and one button that plays only the useful parts. Built for anyone who uses YouTube for work, learning, or research: tutorials, podcasts, lectures, tech reviews, and how-tos. WHAT YOU GET • A clear verdict — KEEP, SKIM, or SKIP — with a one-sentence reason based on what is actually said, not on views, thumbnails, or comments. • "Play the useful part": one button plays only the valuable minutes in order, automatically skipping intros, filler, repetition, and sponsor reads. Touch the player yourself and the auto-cut steps aside. • Autopilot mode: switch it on once, and every video starts at the useful part and flies past filler on its own — soft (intros, sponsors, "subscribe") or strict (only top-value sections). Every jump includes a brief "undo" prompt, and dragging the player manually always wins. • A minute-by-minute value map: see exactly where the substance, filler, and ads are. Click anywhere on the map to jump straight to that segment. • Detailed segment scores & key timestamps: jump to any key moment with a single click. • "Watch 31 of 42 min": see how many minutes of the runtime carry actual value and how much time you save. • Filler breakdown: see the exact percentage of fluff and whether the video title is clickbait. • 20-second summary gist: key points and actionable takeaways. For tutorials, get exact terminal commands or steps ready to copy. • Deep topic review: request an AI audit of how thoroughly the video covers its topic, what was omitted, and what to study next. Export directly to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Grok. • Slim mode: collapse the panel into a subtle single-line strip with key minutes, the map, and the play button. • Toolbar popup: check the open video's score and your remaining credits in one click. The panel supports 9 languages: English, Ukrainian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Polish, and Italian. WHEN THERE IS NOTHING TO JUDGE, IT SAYS SO Music, or videos without subtitles have nothing to parse — Gistil tells you so and charges zero credits. Live streams are analyzed once finished. Long-form ceiling limits are handled transparently without wasting your allowance. HOW IT WORKS Every video Gistil has already analyzed opens instantly for everyone — no account required. For new, unanalyzed videos, sign in via gistil.com (one login for web, extension, and mobile app). Every free account includes 5 initial video analyses. PRIVACY & SAFETY Gistil respects your privacy.
