I watch a lot of YouTube. Podcasts, tutorials, lectures, you name it.
The problem? ChatGPT can't see what I'm watching. So when I want to ask something about the video, I have to explain the whole context or paste timestamps manually.
Super annoying.
So I built a Chrome extension that puts a chatbot directly in YouTube. It knows the video content and can answer questions about it.
How I use it:
- Watching a 2-hour podcast
- "What does he say about productivity?"
- Chatbot gives me the answer + timestamp (1:32:45)
No more pausing, rewinding, or losing my place.
I've been using it for a few weeks and honestly, it saves me so much time. Especially for long content where I just need specific info.
If you're curious, I can share the link. Just didn't want to drop it without context.
