Sowa – YouTube summaries & smart speed

Watch less, know more. Sowa summarizes YouTube videos, tells you if they're worth watching and speeds up slow talkers.

Watch less, know more. Sowa watches the video for you and tells you if it's worth your time. 🦉 A SUMMARY IN SECONDS Open a video – Sowa instantly writes what it is about and gives 2–4 key points. Each point has a timestamp. Click it and the video jumps to that moment. ✅ VERDICT: WATCH OR SKIP Sowa judges whether the video gives you more than the summary. A step-by-step tutorial or gameplay? "Watch". A long intro and three sentences of content? "Skip – the summary is enough". Add your interests and the verdict fits you. ⏩ SPEED MATCHED TO THE SPEAKER Some people talk fast, others drag on. Sowa measures the speaker's pace and sets the speed from 1× to 2×, so every video sounds at your pace. A slider in the panel changes the pace while you watch. 🎵 MUSIC STAYS AT NORMAL SPEED Music videos, playlists and videos without speech play normally, with no summary. 🖼️ NO MORE CLICKBAIT THUMBNAILS Instead of creator-picked images you see real frames from the video. Hover and the frames flip like a short preview. 🔒 PRIVACY • Sowa has no server and collects none of your data. • Your settings and API key stay in your browser. • For the summary, Sowa sends only the video title and transcript to Google Gemini. ⚙️ WHAT YOU NEED A free Gemini API key. Create it in 2 minutes at aistudio.google.com/apikey. Sowa uses Google's free tier – plenty for normal viewing. Videos without captions get no summary. Sowa is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
