Question the source
Bring a public captioned YouTube URL. Ask about a claim, concept, disagreement, or exact moment. The answer stays attached to the available timestamped transcript.

Private beta · 20 founding seats
Turn YouTube into a research library inside ChatGPT.
Question one public captioned video with exact moments. Then keep only the work you choose, search it later, and compare evidence across videos without leaving ChatGPT.
Free during the private beta · US$12/month is the hypothesis being tested · no payment required to apply
The research loop
Every video becomes inspectable evidence—not another forgotten summary.
Save deliberately
Nothing enters your library automatically. When the result matters, explicitly save it to your private research account for later work.
Search and compare
Find evidence across saved videos, compare speakers on the same question, and turn the result into an Answer Workspace or Evidence Lab.
One product, two jobs
Start free. Upgrade only when the research needs continuity.

Built around consent
Your research is product data only when you choose to save it.
Video URLs, prompts, transcripts, excerpts, and answers are not collected as telemetry.
Library content is created after an explicit save and belongs to the authenticated account.
The product works from the complete available transcript. It does not claim to see silent visuals or guarantee captions for every video.
Founding cohort
Bring one real research problem and one video that matters.
We are selecting people who seriously learn, investigate, fact-check, or create from at least three YouTube videos per week. The beta is not publicly available yet; approved testers receive a private invitation after the owner flow passes acceptance.
