- Rated 1 out of 5by John Doe, 2 years agoLooks like this add-on got snatched up by some ad agency. Just peeked into the new version's source code, and surprise! They've thrown in a bunch of analytics, data collection, forced logins, and even slapped on some "premium features". Oh, and did I mention it doesn't even work? Save yourself the trouble and skip this one.

posted 2 years agoIt's not used or bought by any ad agency and the data is not sold to anyone or used for ads.
Login is to be able to save your summaries, stop malicious attacks and enable premium features like GPT-4 if needed.
Analytics is for tracking app usage across all users to be able to improve the plugin and provide better experience for users. - Rated 1 out of 5by AlphaNeon, 2 years agoYou should update your extension. Its been over 6 months.
Edit:
You made it paid only. What a sh*t extension. Do not use this. Use something else. This used to be free with an OpenAI key, they are now making BANK on the same thing. Do not use. - Rated 1 out of 5by Gregory108, 3 years agoAdd-on does not do what is expected. Returns zero-value timecodes or technical notation like "title", "timecode" and, at best, in one of the settings regime, returns a transcript.
PS: maybe a malfunction if YT changed something - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12795816, 3 years agoDoesn't seem to work. Either it has empty lines with time stamps or it doesn't do anything. Tried on many videos with clear English, where other plugins (on other browsers) were able to get the summary. This one was a hope it will work on Firefox but it doesn't.

Hey! Really great app, well designed as well!
I only have one problem I'd say, from my experience everything works well except "Summarize video as a set of bullet points", it usually picks most bullet points at the beginning of the video so it doesn't do a good job of actually covering the full video. I suspect that this is due to ChatGPT being really poor at counting, dividing arbitrary lengths and similar tasks.
I expect that at the moment this is done through prompt engineering, I'd like to propose a different way that I feel like would be more effective.
Algorithm (Setting: 5 bullet points) :
1. Grab the whole transcript (example video length 10 minutes)
2. Divide transcript into (10 minutes / 5 bullet points) 5 chunks each 2 minutes long.
3. Provide the chunk to ChatGPT to summarize, in theory we could also add previous chunks for context but specify that we only want to summarize a chunk that is in quotation marks ("").
I think this would provide a more consistent summary of the whole video. Also, it would be great to be able to do one custom prompt without logging in, because google login doesn't work for me atm. Anyways, I really appreciate your work, good job! - Rated 1 out of 5by BillyCool, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by jay, 3 years agoit needs access to a lot of data

posted 3 years agoI'm sorry you feel that way!
It only needs access to youtube website to add the button and execute the summarization and openAI website to use the active session to execute the summary.
It doesn't collect any data about the user.
For the second comment, was there a specific error ? Note that the addon won't work if chatgpt is down.
