Hi, thank you for watching the video. So today I'm going to show you how to use YouTube Summary with ChatGPT and Claude. So once you install the extension, you are ready to use it. And if you go to any YouTube videos, and you will see this small pop up or widget on the right top. And so if you click it, it will show you the transcripts. And if the video has transcripts in other languages besides English, you will see them

so that you can read the transcript in Italy, Japanese, Spanish, like this. And if you want to summarize the videos, you can click the summary button so that it will summarize the video for you with timestamp information like this. And if you use Notion and want to export the summary to Notion, you can click export to Notion button so that it will export the content to your Notion page. And yep. So you will see the title, and URL, and date, the page created, and summary, and so on.

And if you want to save the summary as image, please click save as image button so that it generates the PNG image of the summary so that you can share the summary with your friends, co-workers, or you can even keep it for yourself in your PC or MacBook if you use Apple. And also you can jump to the current timestamp like this, or just copy the transcript like this as well. And if you want to use your own LLM, like a ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, Mistral, Gemini,

and you can you can do so by hovering this button icon, and you will see some options here.

if you are a free user, but if you if you are a paid user, like a Plus user, Pro user, then please turn it on here so that you can summarize longer content. But if you are a free user, please turn it off so that you won't see any error messages like oh, your prompt is too long, or something like that. And if you have any preferred language, and you can change it here, or any, yeah, so that the output will be written in that language.

And if you have any specific prompt you want to use, and you can change here, this is just a basic prompt. But you can change it like this, or you can just change it or create the content or summary in XYZ format, so that that AI will follow your prompt. Yep, then, so we have a keyboard shortcut. So if you want to summarize content, and with a shortcut key, the keyboard shortcut key, so please click Ctrl or Command and X twice, so that it will open your selected AI model
