Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm a power user of YouTube — and honestly, why wouldn't you be? YouTube is a genuinely competitive marketplace. Creators get paid by how many people watch, so they're incentivised to do the research properly, check it, and present it well. Better work earns more views. Whatever you think of the feed, the good material on YouTube is very good, and a lot of it exists nowhere else.
So I use it deliberately. I go through my feed daily and drop anything worth keeping into a topic playlist — for when I actually sit down to go deep on that subject. When I find someone consistently doing real work, I subscribe, so more of it reaches me. That's 200+ channels and 50+ playlists now. YouTube caps a playlist at 5,000 videos, which I know because I've hit it. That's a knowledge base, and I built it by hand, over years.
And then I go to use it, and there's nothing there. YouTube gives me no tool that touches any of that effort. I can't search across my own subscriptions and playlists — every search is a global search of all of YouTube, ranked by parameters I don't control and can't switch off. Its AI will discuss the one video I happen to have open, and nothing about the thousands I chose. The library is mine. The one thing I can't do with it is use it.
That's what asktube is for. Ask across every channel you follow and get one answer with the videos it came from. Ask a single creator. Compare a few. Or ask it to build the playlist that takes you from beginner to competent on something — and then you go and watch it. asktube works out what deserves your time; it isn't trying to replace the watching.
The part I'd most like you to poke at: it's free, including the AI. Not trial-free — free, because the AI is yours. asktube runs on Bodhi App, a local AI gateway I also built: you connect your own model, approve exactly what asktube may use, and your keys never leave your machine. asktube is the proof that a website can use your local AI safely. Everyone else in this category rents you someone else's model for $8–20 a month.
There's a live demo — no account, nothing to install. Being straight about it: the channels in the demo are hand-picked by me, not yours, and the AI is capped by the hour and by depth, because I'm paying for it. Everything it does, it does for real.
What's rough: first answers take ~20 seconds, because it's reading rather than recalling. Mobile is newer than desktop. And the demo collection is a slice, not the product.
What's next: better cross-channel comparison, and the developer surface — asktube speaks MCP, so your coding agent can research your YouTube library directly.
I'd genuinely rather have your criticism than your upvote. Try the demo and tell me where it falls over — I'll be in the comments all day.
