VideoLens
Turn videos into timestamped reports, guides, and AI prompts
VideoLens turns videos into useful AI outputs: reports, tutorial guides, implementation prompts, meeting actions and more. It combines captions, frames and on-screen text, with findings linked to exact timestamps. Free, open source and BYOK.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jeramy, the maker of VideoLens.
I built VideoLens because I kept watching videos where a summary wasn't actually the output I wanted.
One of my biggest use cases is AI-assisted development. If I'm watching someone demonstrate how they built an app or feature, I don't necessarily want five bullet points summarizing the video.
I want to say:
“Turn what this person is demonstrating into a detailed implementation prompt I can give to my AI coding agent.”
The same idea applies elsewhere. A tutorial should become a step-by-step guide. A product demo might become a feature and UX analysis. A meeting should become decisions and actions. A bug recording should become reproduction steps.
That's what VideoLens is built around.
It analyzes captions, sampled frames and on-screen text, builds a timeline of the video, and then generates the type of output you actually ask for. Findings reference specific timestamps so you can jump straight back to the source.
There's a Chrome extension, support for local videos, follow-up Q&A, HTML/PDF/Markdown/JSON exports and several specialized analysis modes.
The private BYOK mode is free and the core project is open source under the MIT licence. There's also an optional managed mode if you don't want to deal with an API key.
I'm especially interested in one question from the Product Hunt community:
If you could ask AI to produce anything you wanted from a video, what would you have it produce?
I'd love to hear the weird use cases too - those are usually the interesting ones.
