šŸ‘‹šŸ» Hi Product Hunt community! I'm Steven, the founder of Lookie AI. Lookie is a productivity tool that turns YouTube into your personal knowledge bank! Like many of you, I often turn to YouTube for everythingā€”whether it's travel tips, finding great places to eat, or learning something new for work. But I feel two major pain points during this process: šŸ‘‰ Pain point 1: It takes a lot of time to gather useful knowledge from videos. šŸ‘‰ Pain point 2: I always had to open a separate notes app to store and manage the information. Enter Lookie, by sharing the video with Lookie in a single click, you get: šŸ“ Preview & Summary within Youtube: Lookie generates a summary and preview for the long videos you want to consume, so you donā€™t have to spend hours consuming content. Quickly grasp the key information from the video, cutting out the clutter. āš”Save information with Highlights: Using the highlights in Lookie, you can save the important information from the video in a structured way, making sure you are always a click away from the information you absorbed. šŸ¤– AI Chat bot for the video: Long videos often leave you with some questions, and Lookieā€™s AI chat bot for the video would be there for the rescue. Once youā€™ve shared the video with Lookie, you can ask the AI chatbot any question from the video, and you will have your answers right at your fingertips. šŸŒ Consume global content: With Lookieā€™s AI, language is no barrier when it comes to Youtube videos. It supports translations from 200+ languages, allowing you to gather as much information as you can, surpassing the language barrier. Till now, Lookie has been in private beta, and we have had 3500+ users who are using it to save time, and learn more! šŸ§  Students are using Lookie to absorb knowledge from long videos in lesser time, and managing all of it efficiently in a single app. šŸ§³ People travelling abroad are using it to quickly find the best places to visit, by consuming local videos on the go. šŸ‘” Busy professionals are using Lookie to consume videos to learn more about their market, and brush up their skills by consuming longer videos in almost 1/4th time. With Lookie, we hope to make your YouTube experience not just about watching, but also about creating meaningful knowledge. We are live on both Play Store and Apple Store, and Iā€™d love if you can give Lookie a try and let us know how you like it! https://onelink.to/lookie-ai To celebrate our Product Hunt launch, we're offering a special discount on our premium plan for a limited timeā€”donā€™t miss out! I'd love to hear your valuable feedback and will work quickly to improve the product based on your suggestions :) Make YouTube your brain! āš”šŸ§

This is such a great idea @future_oh! Many times I end with too many videos in the "Watch later" section that then I anyways don't have the time to see, as they keep piling up. Something like this would be great to at least skim through the important parts. I think this should be by default in YouTube :) We don't all have the time to watch a long video to get the gist out of it, especially now that more & more creators are becoming video-first... Congrats on this šŸ™Œ Has a lot of potential! All the best moving forward
Steven Oh
@owenfar Thank you so much, Owen! You nailed itā€”what you mentioned is exactly why we created Lookie, and it's a big part of our story. We wanted to make it feel like you're adding knowledge to your shopping cart. šŸ§  -> šŸ›’ Hope you get to experience that feeling with Lookie!
Steven Oh
@kjosephabraham Oh Joseph, thank you so much! Thatā€™s an interesting question. We actually went through one pivot. Initially, we werenā€™t entirely confident about the user experience. But approaching the mobile YouTube experience with the concept of a ā€œknowledge shopping cartšŸ§ šŸ›’ā€ was a game-changer for us. Weā€™ve been experiencing it ourselves since the demo stage, and itā€™s been truly amazing!
Johnsy George
@future_oh Congratulations! How is it different from NoteGPT?
Steven Oh
@johnsy Hi Johnsy, thank you so much! šŸ˜Š Weā€™re proud to offer the worldā€™s first mobile app usability experienceā€”itā€™s incredibly easy to use! Plus, itā€™s technically very advanced. Iā€™d love for you to experience how smartly it understands every video and processes even the smallest details down to every word!
Jackieline Cosares
Loving the highlight feature too, perfect for organizing those golden nuggets! How well does the AI chatbot handle super technical topics? Congrats on your launch!
Steven Oh
@jackielinecosares Thanks. And yes, highlight feature is my personal favorite too. As far as the chat-bot is concerned, we provide it all the information discussed in the video along with some added ability to search information on its own, and the combination of these two ensures that the chat-bot can help you through all your queries!
Viennarz Curtiz
Very useful for people like me who watched videos for learning! Congratulations on your launch! Is there a plan to be able to save or bookmark videos within the app, as well as export the answers to PDF?
Steven Oh
Hey @viennshi, thanks for your kind words. And yes, that's a great idea. We'll surely add that to our list of upcoming features and allow exporting the bookmarks and highlights as a pdf for further use!
Jesna James
Lookie AI sounds like a great tool for summarizing lengthy podcasts and educational content! Do we have features to create and manage YouTube playlists as well? Kudos to @future_oh and the team on the launch!
Steven Oh
@jesna_james Hi Jesna, thank you so much! šŸ˜Š Youā€™re absolutely right! We do have features that allow you to create and manage YouTube playlists. Additionally, with our highlights feature, you can manage key points with ease. Weā€™re also planning to make it even more user-friendly by integrating an AI chatbot soon!
Andrey Lipkovskiy
Hi team! Great app that saves tons of time! I used to watch long professional videos and sometimes It is often very difficult to perceive and structure information in your head in order to extract the most important points without spending hours on it. Great job! Congrats šŸ‘
Steven Oh
@lipkovskiy Oh, thank you so much, Andrey. Iā€™m a huge YouTube watcher too. Hereā€™s a fun tip: ever since I started using Lookie, I save the entertaining content for when Iā€™m relaxing and share all the knowledge-related videos straight to Lookie. Later, when I have some focused time, I can digest all that valuable information at once šŸ“š
Yuvraj Kewate
Congrats @future_oh on launching Lookie! The idea of turning YouTube into a personal knowledge bank is fantasticā€”especially for busy professionals and students who want to consume content more efficiently. The AI chatbot and highlight features are game changers for managing and revisiting key insights without wasting time. One suggestion would be to add a feature for exporting summaries or highlights into existing note-taking apps for even more flexibility. Great work, excited to see where Lookie goes next! šŸš€
Steven Oh
@uvkewate Oh Yuvraj, Thank you so much. I think your idea is fantastic! It would be great to have summaries, highlights, and the content you've read organized daily into connected notes :) Weā€™ll definitely prioritize this feature. Thanks again! šŸ™Œ
Richard Song
Great to see Lookie AI launching, Steven! This tool addresses a real pain point for YouTube users. The AI chatbot feature sounds especially helpful for clarifying doubts from long videos. Excited to try it out! šŸš€
Steven Oh
@renchu_song Oh, Richard, thank you so much! I really appreciate your insightsā€”they're very insightful. First, to address the pain points of YouTube users, we actually went through a pivot. The original product didnā€™t align well with the existing YouTube experience. Secondly, I believe our vision lies in chat. We have so much potential to do things with all the YouTube content we've consumed. Thank you for supporting the vision of Lookie! :)
Tim Hillison
Congratulations on your launch @future_oh! As a big consumer of YouTube, I'm really looking forward to trying this out. Very interesting idea!
Steven Oh
@tim_ep1 Oh Tim, thank you so much! I'm a big YouTube consumer like you, and I've been looking forward to Lookie just like you have. It's great to finally see itā€”thank you! šŸ™
Hyejeong Han
šŸ‘‹ Hi everyone! As someone who often uses YouTube to learn new things, Iā€™ve always found it tough to keep track of the useful information I come across in long videos. Iā€™d end up pausing, rewinding, and juggling between multiple apps to take notes, which got pretty frustrating. Thatā€™s what led me to help design Lookieā€”a tool meant to simplify this whole process by giving you a summary of the video and a way to save the key points. I wanted to build something that could cut down the time I spent gathering information and make it easier to remember what I learned. I'd love to hear if others have had similar struggles with learning from YouTube and how you manage it! šŸ˜Š
Ali Jan
Congrats on the launch! šŸš€ Transforming YouTube into a personal knowledge hub with smarter, faster organization is amazing for anyone consuming content for learning. Looking forward to seeing how it enhances the experience for knowledge seekers!
Kartika Nurtasya
What a great product Steve, good job! Congrats on your launch Steven and team!
Kyrylo Silin
Hey Steven, How does the AI handle technical or specialized content when generating summaries? Are there any plans to integrate with other video platforms beyond YouTube? Congrats on the launch!
Steven Oh
Hey @kyrylosilin, we provide our AI with the video's content transcript, and along with that, allow it to browse for further information if required. With a mix of these two, even complex videos can be summarize easily with Lookie! Thanks and looking forward to more feedback from you!
Nikola Djordjevic
Congrats on the launch, @future_oh ! šŸŽ‰ This is a really clever solution for making the most out of YouTube. I can see how it would be super useful for quickly grasping key insights from long videos. Looking forward to seeing it in action!
Steven Oh
thanks @djordjevic_nikola! Let me know how you feel after using it, looking forward to your feedback!
Mahek Khandelwal
Seems like a very daily usage product specially helping cut the streaming time without impacting the details and learnings required. I hope this brings fortune to its users and the makers. All the very best Team!
Steven Oh
@mahek_khandelwal thanks for your kind words! :))
Sage Wang
This looks super helpful! YouTube is such a great resource, but itā€™s tough to stay organized
Steven Oh
@flashsonic Thank you so much, Sage! šŸ˜Š Youā€™re absolutely right. We spend so much time watching YouTube, but personally, I always found it inconvenient to capture or take notes on important information. The ability to turn it into knowledge with just a tap on the share button is something I really love!

Steven Oh
@juliomedina Oh, really? Thank you so much, Julio! Watch YouTube 100x smarter and faster! šŸ§ āš”ļø
Glenn Max
One-click access to information is appealing. It could make my research process much smoother!
Steven Oh
@glenn_max Hi Glenn, thank you so much for your kind words! You're right, we often find ourselves scrolling up and down through lists when watching YouTube on mobile. The ability to share directly from the list makes it super handy :) In the future, we plan to support AI chat for all the YouTube content you've watched. Stay tuned!
ź¹€ė™źøø
Itā€™s a very smart productšŸ˜Ž I watch YouTube videos every day to gain inspiration and information. This product helps save time efficiently, while also allowing me to obtain deeper insights through chat.
Steven Oh
@donggil Thank you so much, Donggil! You seem like someone with a strong curiosity for knowledge. Is your MBTI by any chance a T type? I also learn a lot through YouTube, and I hope you get that feeling of effortlessly gathering knowledge by simply scrolling and sharing from YouTube. Itā€™ll feel just like filling up a knowledge shopping cart! šŸ§ ->šŸ›’
Anastasiia Kirzhanova
Congratulations on launching! How does your platform handle the challenge of extracting and organizing key information from videos with varying quality and structure?
Steven Oh
@kirzhanova Thank you so much, Anastasiia! The point you mentioned was one of the most important and challenging aspects of our development process. Itā€™s incredibly difficult to have AI accurately process and extract detailed information from long videos without missing anything. However, the responses generated by Lookie are far more refined and detailed compared to something like "Eightify."
