YouTube videos can be any length. Videos from the other platforms can be up to 5 minutes long.

Every platform has its own page

Each platform also has its own page with its own guide. They all run this same tool, so use whichever you found first.

Start with the YouTube, Instagram Reel or TikTok transcript generator.

Chat with the transcript in ChatGPT or Claude

Your AI can't watch a video, but it can read one.

Pick what you want from the Ask your AI to menu, like a summary, quotes or 5 X posts. Then press your AI, and the transcript goes with the ask.

It runs in your own ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or Perplexity. So it's free, and it writes in the chat you already use.

Use it with Claude Code and AI agents

Every transcript also gets its own address on this site, as Markdown.

Give that link to Claude Code, or to any AI that reads links, and it reads the video in one step. The tool writes the Claude Code command for you.
