AskVideo AI

AskVideo AI lets you chat with YouTube videos. You paste a video URL, the service transcribes and indexes it, and you ask questions in plain language. Answers come back with timestamps so you can jump to the exact moment, which saves scrubbing through a long lecture or tutorial to find one point. It suits students, researchers, professionals and creators who learn from long video. You can use it for lectures, how to guides, webinars, documentaries and podcasts. Beyond single videos, paid plans let you import whole playlists or channels as collections and search across all of them at once. Higher tiers add an embeddable chatbot widget for your own site, uploads of your own video and audio files for transcription, and a command line tool installed through npm that works with an API key. Pricing is published in US dollars. The Free plan costs $0 and includes 180 minutes of YouTube indexing, 30 minutes of upload transcription and 100 AI messages per month. Premium is $8 per month with 1,200 indexing minutes, 60 transcription minutes and 1,000 messages. Pro is $29 per month with up to 2 collections, 4,800 indexing minutes, 480 transcription minutes and 2,500 messages. Business is $99 per month with unlimited collections, 18,000 indexing minutes, 1,800 transcription minutes and 8,000 messages. A yearly billing option is offered at a stated saving of 17 percent. The site also advertises a limited lifetime deal, though its terms are not set out on the pages reviewed.
