Sound familiar?
These are the video moments everyone dreads. ekstrakt handles all of them.

The 3-hour podcast episode
Everyone is talking about it but you don’t have the time. Get the highlights and key moments in under a minute.
The tutorial buried in filler
That 40-minute walkthrough has 5 minutes of useful content. Skip to the answer with Straight to Answer.
The Watch Later graveyard
200+ saved videos you'll never get to. Skim the summaries and clear the list guilt-free.
The video in another language
Great content, wrong language. Get summaries in any of 22 supported languages, no matter what language the video is in.
The "did they actually say that?"
Need a specific claim or quote? Ask a Question and get the exact moment with context.
One video, multiple perspectives

Pretty Cool, intuitive ui and easy to use!
Good one, easy to use, works as expected. However, there could be more free credits to form an opinion
Great way to quickly asses if a tutorial etc. is worth spending time on by accessing the quick summary, and the detailed is a great asset when actually spending time on a longer video.
Cette extension fonctionne très bien. C'est particulièrement intéressant pour moi lorsque je cherche à savoir un point précis dans un tutoriel sur youtube, pour avoir une réponse directe sans avoir à chercher à taton.
Watching long SwiftUI and iOS dev tutorials used to take up my whole afternoon, but this extension is a massive time saver. Having the AI summary and clickable transcript right next to the video means I can jump straight to the exact code snippets I need without sitting through the whole thing. It works super fast and looks great in dark mode. Highly recommend!
I have used many extensions with yourtube but this one is different it really summarized videos without any effort and saved me time to watch it.
works exactly as advertised. would be a 5 star app for me if there was a custumizable summary type.
Clean, polished, and genuinely useful. The in-page summary panel, multiple summary modes, and timestamped transcripts make long YouTube videos much easier to consume. Great UX that avoids tab switching—looking forward to seeing it grow with more personalization and workflow integrations.
great extension
