YouTube’s two main challenges: time-consuming & knowledge management. Lookie is designed for 2.7 billion YouTube users & you! 1. Just share to Lookie App from YouTube App 2. Highlight key knowledge 3. AI chat for all shared content 4. Supports All languages -> Also, enjoy a generous free plan!

👋🏻 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 everything—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: 👉 Pain point 1: It takes a lot of time to gather useful knowledge from videos. 👉 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: 📝 Preview & Summary within Youtube: Lookie generates a summary and preview for the long videos you want to consume, so you don’t have to spend hours consuming content. Quickly grasp the key information from the video, cutting out the clutter. ⚡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. 🤖 AI Chat bot for the video: Long videos often leave you with some questions, and Lookie’s AI chat bot for the video would be there for the rescue. Once you’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. 🌍 Consume global content: With Lookie’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! 🧠 Students are using Lookie to absorb knowledge from long videos in lesser time, and managing all of it efficiently in a single app. 🧳 People travelling abroad are using it to quickly find the best places to visit, by consuming local videos on the go. 👔 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 I’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 time—don’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! ⚡🧠

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 🙌 Has a lot of potential! All the best moving forward

@owenfar Thank you so much, Owen! You nailed it—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. 🧠 -> 🛒 Hope you get to experience that feeling with Lookie!

@future_oh Hats off to the team! Wishing you a bright and succssful journey ahead. What has been the biggest surprse during development?

@kjosephabraham Oh Joseph, thank you so much! That’s an interesting question. We actually went through one pivot. Initially, we weren’t entirely confident about the user experience. But approaching the mobile YouTube experience with the concept of a “knowledge shopping cart🧠🛒” was a game-changer for us. We’ve been experiencing it ourselves since the demo stage, and it’s been truly amazing!

@future_oh Congratulations on launch 🚀

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!

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!

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?

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!

It’s such a smart idea to make learning from YouTube easier and faster. Turning all that useful info into a personal knowledge hub sounds like a lifesaver. Excited to give it a try!

Lookie shows decent potential, but they launched their paid plan prematurely. I initially tried it because I needed a quick way to summarize YouTube videos on my iPhone. I appreciate that Steven reached out personally via email for feedback. Yesterday, I attempted to use it again. The share-to-Lookie function failed when trying to share a YouTube video from the YouTube app. There was no notification explaining the issue (Feedback #1: they should add an alert about trial expiration with a call-to-action to upgrade). After logging back into the Lookie app, I discovered my trial had expired. I upgraded to their highest tier plan, but unfortunately, the AI summary wasn't satisfactory—it missed the specific video segment I was searching for. Their upcoming "Timestamp" and "AI chat" features might improve this. I then recalled that Snipd—an AI Podcast app I already have a paid subscription to—also supports YouTube video uploads. It worked flawlessly there, and I noticed their pricing is actually lower than Lookie's! As an early Snipd user, I've been impressed by their team's approach. They actively engaged with podcast listeners on X, their founder personally handled feedback, and they built a community through their Discord channel—all valuable lessons for other creators. They collected extensive user feedback before launching their paid plan. After using Snipd for podcasts and seeing their reasonable pricing, upgrading felt natural. I'm sharing these observations because Lookie's developers could benefit from following Snipd's example to enhance their app.
