A workbench, not a summary tool.
Most “AI for video” gives you a 200-word recap and walks away. VidInsight keeps the source on screen and gives you tools to actually study it.
Highlights with timecodes
AI extracts the chapters worth watching, ranked by signal. Click to jump straight in, or play them as a tight reel.
Cited chat, not hallucinated
Every answer footnotes back to the exact transcript moment. Click [3] and the player scrubs to it instantly.
Notes that stay in context
Highlight any line of transcript, save a takeaway, or jot your own thought — all linked to the timestamp.
Three steps. No magic.
Paste any YouTube URL
Lectures, podcasts, talks, tutorials — anything with a transcript. No download required.

In a few seconds: chapters, key takeaways, top quotes, suggested questions — all timecoded.
Study, ask, and keep notes
Watch with the highlights bar, ask cited questions, save the moments you actually want to remember.
