Extension Actions
Summarize YouTube Videos. Get direct links to key points in the video.
No subscription needed. Use your Anthropic API key & Claude 3.5 Sonnet to summarize YouTube videos.
Feedback welcome 🙏 [email protected]
Instructions:
- Click the extension icon and enter your Anthropic API key (which you can get here: https://www.anthropic.com/api)
- Open a YouTube video, scroll down a little, the extension box should appear above the comments section
- Click fetch transcript (if auto fetch is enabled you can skip this step)
- Click analyze transcript (this does not happen automatically)
Note:
- Token counter is slightly off (in general the estimate is higher than the actual usage)
- Fails sometimes, if the response from the API isn't perfectly formed
- Does not work with extremely long videos due to token limits
Changelog:
1.05 update model to claude sonnet 4.5

- An amazing extension! It’s been a game-changer for my research, saving me loads of time. The only thing missing? An option to save summaries as PDFs. But honestly, that’s a minor wish compared to everything else it delivers. Highly recommended!
