What is AskVideo?
AskVideo.ai is an AI-powered tool that lets you chat with any YouTube video and get instant, accurate answers with timestamps. Instead of scrubbing through hours of content to find specific information, you can paste a YouTube URL and ask questions about the video content, receiving precise answers in seconds. The tool transcribes and indexes video content, then uses AI to understand context and deliver relevant information from the video.
Key features include interactive AI chat with videos, timestamped answers that reference exact moments in the video, video summaries, transcript generation, cross-video searching across YouTube playlists and entire channels, a command-line interface (CLI) for developers, and the ability to upload video/audio files for transcription. The platform processes most videos within 30-60 seconds and supports any public YouTube video from educational content to tutorials, conferences, and documentaries.
AskVideo.ai is designed for students and graduate researchers who need to learn from lectures, content creators who want to reference and quote from videos accurately, educators and course creators who want to turn their video courses into AI teaching assistants, product teams and support teams looking to create self-serve support from product demos, and professionals who need to extract insights from webinars and business talks. It's also valuable for researchers analyzing documentaries and anyone who wants to maximize value from video content without passive watching.

Frequently asked questions about AskVideo
How accurate are the answers from AskVideo.ai?
The AI provides highly accurate responses with exact timestamps. The system understands context and delivers precise information from the video content. However, the AI-generated content is provided for informational purposes only, and users should verify any important information independently as accuracy is not guaranteed.
What types of videos work with AskVideo.ai?
Any public YouTube video works with AskVideo.ai, from educational content to tutorials, conferences, documentaries, lectures, interviews, podcasts, and webinars. If a video has audio, the tool can make it searchable. The tool does not work with private or unlisted YouTube videos.
How fast is the video processing?
Most videos are processed within 30-60 seconds. You'll get instant answers to your questions once processing is complete. The first query to a new video will index it (taking 30-60 seconds), but subsequent queries to the same video are instant.
Is my data secure with AskVideo.ai?
Yes, AskVideo.ai takes security seriously. Your data is encrypted, never shared with third parties, and you have full control over your information. The Privacy Policy describes how they collect, use, and protect personal information.
Can I use AskVideo.ai on mobile devices?

What's included in the Premium plan?
Premium includes unlimited videos, unlimited AI chat, no video length limits, and priority support. It also provides additional or unlimited credits compared to the free tier's limited credits, and includes API & CLI access for paid plans.
Can I chat with multiple videos at once?
Yes, you can import a YouTube playlist and search across every video instantly with exact timestamps. You can also import an entire YouTube channel and let the AI search every video for you. This cross-video intelligence allows you to ask questions that span multiple videos.
How do I get started with AskVideo.ai?
Simply paste any YouTube URL into the input field on the home page, then the AI will process the video in seconds. You can then ask anything about the video and get answers with timestamps. No credit card is required for the free tier, and instant setup is available.
Can I delete my account and data?
Yes, you may delete your account at any time through the Settings page. Deleting your account will permanently remove your personal information, indexed videos, documents, and chat history. However, account deletion does not automatically cancel an active subscription, so you must cancel your subscription before deleting your account.
Is there a command-line interface for developers?
Yes, AskVideo.ai offers a CLI tool for developers who prefer the terminal. You can install it globally via npm with 'npm install -g askvideo', then login with your API key and chat with YouTube videos directly from your command line without a browser. Interactive chat mode, timestamps, and summaries are available.
