Gistly

Gistly is a browser extension that adds an AI widget to YouTube videos, generating short summaries and key takeaways right on the video page. It’s designed to help you save time on long content and quickly understand the main points without watching the entire video.

How Gistly works

After a one-click install, Gistly appears on YouTube pages (in place of an ad block). Open any video, and the built-in widget starts analyzing the content with AI.

What you can do with it

• Get a structured summary in bullet points within seconds
• Generate a transcript for the video
• Highlight key ideas and insights for faster review

Who it’s for

• Students learning from lectures and educational videos
• Content creators researching topics and references
• Professionals reviewing talks, interviews, and long-form content
• Anyone who wants the gist of a video before committing time to watch
