YouShort
Adds a chat sidebar to any YouTube video so you can ask what it's about, get an AI summary, and jump straight to the moment you actually need, instead of scrubbing through it.

Description
A 40-minute YouTube video might have 3 minutes of information you actually need, and finding those 3 minutes usually means scrubbing back and forth guessing. YouShort adds an AI chat sidebar directly onto the YouTube page itself, so you can ask the video a question and get pointed to the exact moment via a clickable timestamp instead of skimming manually.
It works as a free Chrome extension with no signup or credit card required to install, and has over 13,500 users. Beyond chat, it generates AI summaries of videos and lets you click timestamps to jump straight to the relevant part. Because it works directly on the YouTube page, there's no copy-pasting links into a separate tool or opening new tabs.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you use YouTube for research or tutorials and regularly find yourself scrubbing through long videos looking for one specific part, this solves that exact problem with minimal friction since it's a free install with no account needed.
Against general-purpose AI chat tools where you'd have to paste a YouTube link or transcript manually, YouShort's advantage is working natively inside the YouTube page itself — no context-switching to another tab. Against other "chat with YouTube video" extensions that have proliferated in the same space, the differentiators here are the no-signup friction-free install and the clickable-timestamp navigation, though without a paid tier's feature list published, it's unclear what premium capabilities (if any) exist beyond the free extension for power users with heavy usage.
