Chat with a YouTube Video

Import a YouTube video by its link, then ask Emmy anything about it. Every answer cites the moment it came from, so you can jump there and check.

Free to start — no credit card required.

Paste a YouTube link and Exemplary AI transcribes the video; then open Ask Emmy (⌘J) and ask what you want to know.

Emmy answers from the transcript and cites the moment each answer came from: click a timestamp to jump there. It reads what is said, not what is on screen, and each message uses credits. The Free plan includes 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. Credits are used by the tasks you run, rather than a fixed number of generations.

How it works

How to chat with a YouTube video

A question typed to Emmy beside the transcript of a YouTube interview

What to ask a video

Ask what you would ask the speaker: what they say about a topic, which tools they mention, where they explain a step, what they recommend. Because every answer cites its moment, you can check it in the video instead of trusting a summary.

Emmy cannot see the picture. If something only appears on screen, such as a chart, a slide or a product shot, ask about what is said around it. For notes to keep, see YouTube to notes or the YouTube video summarizer; for everything Emmy does, see Emmy.

What it does

Questions Answered from the Video

The transcript is the source, and every answer points back to it.

Answers with timestamps

Each answer cites the moment it came from; click it and the video jumps there.

Starts from the link

Paste the YouTube link once; the video is transcribed, and the chat opens beside the transcript.

More than answers

Ask Emmy to draft a post or a summary from what you found, or to cut a clip of the moment.

Transcript beside the chat

The full transcript stays open next to the chat, so you can read around any answer.

Questions

Common questions

Can I chat with a YouTube video?
Yes. Paste the video's link into Exemplary AI; once it is transcribed, open Ask Emmy and ask your questions. Answers come from the transcript and cite the moment they came from.
Can I paste a YouTube link straight into the chat?
No. Import the video by its link first; the chat works on the transcript that opens.
Does Emmy understand what is shown on screen?
No. It reads the transcript, so it knows what is said, not what is shown. Ask about the words around a chart or a demo instead.
How do I check where an answer came from?
Every answer cites timestamps. Click one and the video jumps to that moment, with the line lit in the transcript.
Does chatting with a video use credits?
Yes, each chat message uses credits, on top of transcribing the video.

You can start on the Free plan: 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark.
