About Vidective AI

Vidective AI is a web tool that finds a specific moment inside a video. You paste a YouTube link or upload a video, describe what you are looking for in plain English, and it returns the time of every matching moment, a written summary, or both.

Why it exists

Most of the time you do not need a whole video, you need one part of it: the minute where a topic comes up, the scene with a certain person, the answer to one question. Scrubbing a timeline to find it is slow, and searching a transcript only works if you remember the exact words. Vidective was built to find the moment from a description of it.

How it works

Vidective reads the video the way a person would: its transcript, its audio and its picture. Your description is matched against all of it by Google's Gemini AI models, and the result comes back as clickable timestamps with a confidence score for each match, or as a written summary when you choose Summarized mode.

Timestamped mode lists every matching moment with a start and end time. Click one and the player jumps to it.
Summarized mode answers a question about the video or summarizes it.
A reference photo of a face, object or scene can be used to find where it appears.
For uploaded videos, any match can be turned into a downloadable clip in your browser.

What it is good at, and what it is not

It works best on specific, well defined moments in videos with clear speech and picture. Like any AI, it can be wrong or miss something that is on screen for only a moment, which is why every result carries a confidence score and can be checked with one click. For anything where a mistake would matter, treat a result as a pointer to look at, not as the final word.

Your data

Uploaded videos are analyzed and then deleted right away, and what you search for and your results are not saved. Sign-in is handled by Supabase, and payments by the payment providers shown at checkout. The full details are on the privacy and security page.

Who is behind it

Vidective AI is built and maintained by an independent developer. It has a free plan, and Pro plans for longer videos and higher limits, described on the Pro page. Feedback and bug reports are welcome and are read by the person who built it.
