AskTube.Ai makes it easy to talk to YouTube videos and get precise answers. Summarize content, cite sources, receive step-by-step guides, and preview if a video’s worth your time and in your language. Save chats with history & favorites to comeback later.
Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Ihor, co-creator of AskTube.Ai - a tool that helps you interact with YouTube videos and get the answers you actually need, in your language.🌍
Why we built it:
Like many people, we often found ourselves scrubbing through long tutorials, lectures, or interviews just to find a single answer. It was frustrating - especially when we didn’t even know which part of the video to trust.
We tried using AI tools to help, but ran into the same problem over and over again:
If the interface was simple, the functionality was way too basic.
If it had advanced tools, the UI was overwhelming and confusing.
We wanted something that just works, no learning curve, no fluff - while still being powerful enough to do more than just summarize.
What AskTube.Ai does?
Paste any YouTube link and either ask your own question, or choose from 8 built-in tools:
✅Create a Summary
✅Generate Short Clips
✅Extract Sources
✅Generate Step-by-Step Instructions
✅Extract Hashtags and Keywords
✅Write an Essay
✅Analyze If It’s Worth Watching
✅Breakdown Into Chapters (with timestamps)
All of this happens in a chat-style interface that keeps the video loaded, so you can run different prompts or switch languages without starting over.
Supports regular YouTube videos Shorts and Live stream recordings.
Note: Each message is treated independently. The system doesn’t remember previous ones, but you can stay in the same video context and keep exploring.
🗣️Multilingual Flexibility
Ask in any language
Choose from 13 output languages:
English, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese.
Your question, the video, and the output language can all be different — and it just works.
📘Want to go deeper?
We’ve also created the AskTube.Ai Cookbook — a separate page with prompt suggestions, examples, and tips to help you get the most out of each video.

@ih0rko AskTube.Ai is exactly what every tutorial enthusiast has been dreaming of.
@larry_lar Thank you for your support! And absolutely agree with you! Which is exactly why we implemented the Step-by-Step Instructions function, that way you get very detailed and easy to follow instructions!
@ih0rko This transforms YouTube into a genuine knowledge hub. I'm all in!
@ava_lilz Happy to have you on board! 😎
I love the concept. Does AskTube natively support videos in languages other than English or does it depend on YouTube's auto-captions for those?
@larry_lar Hey Larry, we’re glad to hear that! The video language and the language of the transcript does not matter. The main idea here is that the video can be in any language, you can write a prompt in a different language and choose the output to be in one of our 13 languages(later we’ll add even more), that way you are in control of the response language.
Amazing concept. Can users select different tones for the summaries, like casual, technical, or bullet-point style?
@jacob_jac2 Thanks you, glad you like it!
As for the different tones, at the moment, there’s no dedicated option for selecting summary tone, but we’re definitely considering adding it if there’s enough interest.
For now, you can simply request your preferred format in the input. For example, you can ask, “Summarize in bullet points” or “Explain in a more technical tone,” and the model will adjust accordingly.
