QuickRecap: AI Summaries for YouTube Videos

QuickRecap gives you an instant AI summary of any YouTube video — right next to the player. Open a video and QuickRecap reads the captions and writes a clear, structured summary in seconds: • A one-line overview of what the video is about • Numbered sections that follow the video, with clickable timestamps • Names, dates and numbers kept — nothing important is dropped • Takeaways at the end Then keep going: • "All the trivia" — every fun fact and detail from the video • Ask your own questions about the video • Copy the summary with one click Two AI engines — your choice: • Chrome's built-in AI (Gemini Nano): free, unlimited, no account or API key. Runs on your computer. Gives a shorter, quick version. • Google Gemini API: best quality and speed, with exact numbers. Uses your own free API key from Google AI Studio.
