In this fast-paced digital world, video content is everywhere.
YouTube, in particular, is a goldmine of knowledge, but watching long videos to get a few key takeaways can be time-consuming.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could get the essence of a video without watching the whole thing?
That’s where AI-powered tools come in, changing how we consume and retain information.
In this guide, we’ll explore how Keywords Everywhere, as a YouTube video summarizer, can help you break down lengthy videos into concise, digestible summaries.
Whether you want to save time, take notes, or quickly revisit important information, this tool has you covered.
Why do you need a YouTube video summarizer?
Because time is everything.
We live in an age where attention is currency, and long-form content can take up hours of your day.
AI-powered summarization is one of the biggest productivity hacks out there, allowing you to extract crucial points without spending unnecessary time.
Even OpenAI’s CEO has pointed out that summarization is one of the most valuable uses of AI.

YouTube is an incredible learning resource, but going through hours of content isn’t always practical.
What if you could get the core ideas from a lengthy video in just seconds?
That’s exactly what the Keywords Everywhere Browser extension does — turning hours of content into bite-sized, actionable insights with a single click.
Here are some benefits of using Keywords Everywhere as a YouTube video summarizer:
- Save Time: Instantly reduce long videos into short summaries (easy-to-read points).
- Retain Information: Summaries help reinforce key concepts, making them easier to remember.
- Efficient Learning: Instead of passively consuming content, you can quickly grasp essential ideas and apply them immediately. This means more learning in less time without losing the depth of the material.
- AI-Powered Tools: Keywords Everywhere lets you choose from the top three AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. You can pick your favorite AI tool and generate a YouTube video summary in seconds.
How does a YouTube video summarizer work?
The Joe Rogan Experience is one of the most popular and influential podcasts on YouTube, drawing millions of listeners worldwide.
Hosted by Joe Rogan—comedian, UFC commentator, and actor—the podcast features long, unfiltered conversations with experts, celebrities, and thought leaders from various fields.
What makes it stand out is its free-flowing format. One episode might explore cutting-edge science, while another dives into comedy, politics, or fitness.
However, most episodes go beyond three hours, so keeping up with the podcast can be a challenge.
That’s where AI-powered summarization comes in—helping you extract crucial information without spending hours listening.
For example, let’s summarize Episode #2272 featuring Mike Benz, a former official with the U.S. Department of State and current Executive Director of the Foundation For Freedom Online.
Let’s break it down.
1. If you haven’t already, install the Keywords Everywhere Browser Extension and turn it on.
2. Go to YouTube and open the video you want to summarize.
3. On the right-hand side, you’ll see a widget labeled “Summarize This Video.” Select your preferred AI assistant from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini (for this example, we’ve chosen ChatGPT).
4. Keywords Everywhere automatically sends the prompt to your selected AI assistant, and within seconds, you’ll get a detailed summary of the YouTube video.
A detailed look at the YouTube video summary
As we mentioned earlier, Keywords Everywhere lets you choose from three AI assistants to summarize YouTube videos—ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
The summary we generated above was from ChatGPT. As you can see in the image, ChatGPT provided a brief explanation of the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which Mike Benz discussed in the podcast.
ChatGPT also pointed out that this organization is recognized as a terrorist group by multiple countries and international bodies.
If you feel that the summary didn’t cover everything or you need more details, you can simply ask ChatGPT for a more detailed summary of the podcast.
This way, ChatGPT will provide a deeper breakdown of the discussion.
In our example it gave more insights into the key topics covered in the podcast, helping us get a clearer understanding of the conversation—without listening to the entire episode.
Now let’s see how we can use “Claude” for YouTube video summazrixation.
For the same video, instead of selecting ChatGPT from Keywords Everywhere widget, we have choosen “Claude.”
Now, let’s see how we can use Claude to summarize a YouTube video.
For the same podcast episode, instead of selecting ChatGPT from the Keywords Everywhere widget, we chose Claude.
Just like before, Keywords Everywhere provided the entire video transcript and asked Claude to generate a summary in 10 bullet points.
As shown in the image, Claude has structured the summary in the correct sequence of topics discussed in the podcast, making it more accurate and organized than ChatGPT’s summary.
Why is Claude’s summary different?
Each AI assistant works differently because they are built on different models. Sometimes, one tool can produce a better summary than another.
That’s why we recommend using at least two AI assistants to get the best results when summarizing your videos.
Just like with ChatGPT, you can ask Claude to generate a more detailed summary if needed.
This way, Claude will expand on every topic discussed in the podcast, ensuring you get a complete breakdown of the conversation.
One of Claude’s strengths is its ability to present information in clear and structured bullet points, making it easier to read, understand, and retain key insights from the podcast.
Finally, let’s see how Gemini summarizes the same podcast video.
This time, we selected Gemini from the Keywords Everywhere widget, and there’s something different here—Keywords Everywhere does not provide the entire transcript to Gemini.
Instead, it simply shares the YouTube video link and asks Gemini to summarize its transcript in 10 bullet points.
What makes Gemini different?
With the latest Google Gemini 2.0 updates, Gemini AI now has a powerful new feature—it can watch YouTube videos for you and extract key information.
This means it doesn’t just rely on transcripts but actively processes the content itself.
Below, we’ve shared a screenshot of the summary Gemini generated for the YouTube video.
Gemini provided a concise overview of the key topics and arguments presented in the podcast.
If you need more details, you can ask Gemini for a more in-depth summary, and it will expand on the key points to provide a clearer understanding.
Now you might be thinking: Which AI assistant is the best for summarization?
All three AI assistants—ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini—are excellent at summarizing YouTube videos.
However, based on our example, Claude delivered the most accurate and structured response.
That said, you can use any tool that works best for you.
Keywords Everywhere ensures that each AI assistant receives an optimized prompt, so you get a high-quality summary in seconds—no extra effort needed!
