A new sidekick in the making

What a fantastic tool! You can input a YouTube video URL, and, a minute or two later, you get the full transcript and can ask questions to pull information quickly. You can do the same with website links, PDFs and much more.

I think Skimming AI is going to be a new sidekick for me in processing mounds of information quickly, especially with videos. I have founds speeds are taking longer, however, than the info nugget underneath the URL box: "Estimated wait: ~30 sec for 10-min videos, ~2.5 min for 45-min videos in English. Non-English processing may take longer." A number of 10-minute videos have taken a full minute.

I'm not taking off stars for this, but I had trouble getting YouTube video URLs to be recognized while using Skimming AI on Firefox on an iPad Mini this morning.

Keep growing and improving this tool!

Amazing! Quickly becoming my go-to.

Skimming AI is quickly becoming my go-to for chatting with PDFs and videos. It has already given me insights into subjects that I am well versed in, simply by chatting with a YouTube video that was in a different language with no closed captions (CC). For me this is a game changer.

I do use other AI to chat with PDF and YouTube videos, while they are good at their specialities, Skimming AI just seems to be more versatile for what I need. Using the other AI platforms with their specialities in conjunction with Skimming AI will be gold for me.

I've only had one issue, whereby, when asking questions, it would not show them, nor give any answers. A quick refresh on the browser fixed it though.

Brillant work team, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing skimming AI's evolution

Thank you so much! Really glad to hear Skimming AI is helping you — especially with videos in different languages, that’s awesome.

We’re also rolling out TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Google integrations very soon, so you’ll be able to pull in content from all your socials too.

Appreciate the support — means a lot!

There Is Still Room for Improvement

To conclude, this product has the potential to surpass NotebookLM.

The product is currently in the early stages of development, but the developers are willing to listen to user feedback and are working hard to perfect and provide the features to users. This alone is commendable.

Unfortunately, there are still many areas that need improvement, so I can only give it 4 tacos. I hope that one day I can come back here and add the fifth taco.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and kind words — we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

You're absolutely right — we’re still in early development, and there’s definitely room to grow. But one thing’s for sure: we’re 100% committed to earning that 5th taco! 🌮

AI is evolving fast, and so are we. We’re not just building a product — we’re building a platform...

Feature Requests for Skimming AI: Copy Function & Timecode for Better Usability

I’ve updated my rating from 3 Tacos to 5 Tacos, and my issue has been resolved. However, I’d like to request a couple of additional features. Please enable the chatbot’s answer copy function on the mobile app and add a timecode feature to the YouTube video transcript. These additions would greatly assist me in selecting quotes for my short videos. I’m also curious—will your AppSumo deal be ending soon? I noticed it’s listed under the 'Ending Soon' tab, but there’s no countdown indicating when it will expire. I’m very interested in upgrading to the highest tier, and I hope Skimming AI will remain available on AppSumo forever.

Thanks for reaching out, and I’m really sorry for the confusion here — I can imagine how frustrating it must have felt when things didn’t seem to work as expected.

Just to clarify, Skimming AI fully supports Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT-4 (including GPT-4o, O3 models), and Gemini 1.5 models, along with Claude 3 Haiku and other options. You can absolutely switch between these models when chatting with...
