Most AI summarizers give you a wall of text or 40 flat bullets, and they hallucinate on long videos. Gistilo uses chunking to stay accurate on videos up to 5 hours, then structures the output into an executive summary, labeled sections, and highlights. Pro adds optional fact-checking: we verify key claims against sources and link them, flagging anything we can't confirm. It also skips sponsor segments and exports clean PDFs. Free tier, no credit card required.
YouTube is basically my TV at this point. I watch it for hours every day, but for every video I actually finish, I add three more to my bookmarks or Watch Later that I never get back to. Eventually I realized my Watch Later list was only getting longer.
So I got the idea to build Gistilo, for myself at first. I didn't even realize other YouTube summarizers existed until I looked around. When I tried them, most gave me either a wall of text or a pile of generic bullet points. I couldn't tell what the video was actually about.
The fact-checking part came from a specific annoyance. Podcasts and interviews throw out health, political, and financial claims all the time, and I'd sit there wondering if any of it was true. So I built a feature that pulls the key claims from a video, checks them against reliable sources, and gives a verdict on each one.
I've been refining it for the past few months based on user feedback. Happy to answer any questions or hear your thoughts.
