Turn any YouTube video into clear, usable knowledge
Paste a link and Distilltube reads the whole transcript for you — then hands back a crisp summary, chapters, the key takeaways, the best quotes, and a chat that actually knows the video. It even watches your favourite channels and briefs you on what's new.
Everything you'd take notes for — done for you
One link in. A full briefing out. No scrubbing, no rewinding, no “wait, what did they say at minute 12?”
Summaries that respect your time
A two-line gist when you're in a hurry, a thorough write-up when you want the depth. You choose the style.
Chapters & key takeaways
Jump straight to what matters with timestamped chapters, and walk away with the points worth remembering.
Chat with the video
Ask follow-up questions and get answers grounded in the actual transcript — not made up.
The best quotes, verbatim
Notable lines pulled out word-for-word in the original language, with a translation if you want one.
Your channels, on autopilot
Follow a creator and Distilltube quietly summarizes new uploads, then emails you a digest — daily or weekly.
Take it with you
Download any summary as a clean PDF, or have it sent straight to your inbox.
From link to learning in seconds
Three steps. That's the whole thing.

Distilltube reads it for you
