It's easy to use and does what it claims to. Nice work. Can you somehow get this into a browser extension or tamper monkey script so it can be a little text box superimposed on the videos on the YouTube home page and in search results? The use case I have is a clickbait-buster. I had previously made a bash script (that used yt-dlp) to get the transcript and manually paste it into ChatGPT and ask something like "does this video really give xyz, or is it just clickbait". I used this approach a few times to great effect (quickly avoided ~30 minute videos that seemed important based on their title/thumbnail).

Thanks for the feedback and sharing your usecase. I can make it a browser extension. Which browser do you use? I have not looked into Tamper Monkey before but can take a look if there is a demand It seems like you would need a way to store the prompt, too, maybe? Or maybe your browser remembers your prompts?

  Personally I wouldn't care too much about storing the prompt/chat, since I only used it to determine whether I should take the time to watch the video (so it's only necessary for a minute or two max). If it helps you I can share some of the real life use cases. Here are three I noted: - I see this home page: https://imgur.com/mZkczrg https://imgur.com/mZkczrg and the title about russia losing nuclear capability looked like a massive development, but was BS. - This video's title seemed highly relevant but it way over the top (I gave ChatGPT the transcript and asked it to give me the main reasons for not using UUIDs - they were extremely minor to say the least): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-K2C3sf1_Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-K2C3sf1_Q - ChatGPT summarised this video and I deemed it not worth watching (despite a title that seems very relevant): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jIwILYjXrU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jIwILYjXrU

    Thanks for sharing more context, as I get more feedback, I can priortize more. At the minimum a chrome extension that opens a new tab with the tool is something I can start with This was supposed to be a fun project :) I echo this statement --> - ChatGPT summarised this video and I deemed it not worth watching (despite a title that seems very relevant): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jIwILYjXrU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jIwILYjXrU I love youtube content but I don't want to spend 20 mins to learn that the video is irrelevant to me

      Oh 100% keep it fun, I only mention this info in case it helps (I had planned to make something myself but only got as far as a bash script, which still was very useful, probably saving 1h+ from just the three videos above)

        I implemented this video_url feature If you add video_url to the URL, it will load for you, and you can ask your question directly. https://analysttool-e7f4e.web.app/youtube.html?video_url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=517gTjBLVy4 https://analysttool-e7f4e.web.app/youtube.html?video_url=htt... If you package this a Chrome extension, you should be good to go (I can send you the code to do it, I don't want to deal with releasing a chrome extension right now)
