Watching YouTube videos is great for learning, but remembering what you watched is hard. With Snappit, you can turn any YouTube video into a written summary using AI and automation, so you can save key points and revisit insights anytime.

Turn Video Content into Summaries Instantly​

Manually summarizing videos takes effort. You have to pause, rewind, take notes, and organize them later. It slows down your learning and makes it harder to retain insights.

With Snappit, you can automate this entire process in your browser. Just open a video, click a button, and get a structured summary ready to save or share.
