AI Video Summarizer
Ask a question. Get a clear written summary.
Vidective is an AI-powered video summarizing tool. Instead of watching an entire video to find what you need, ask a question in plain English, or just ask for an overview, and Vidective reads the full video, transcript, audio, and visuals, and gives you a clear written summary or answer in seconds, for a YouTube video or an uploaded file.
Ask anything, get a written answer
Type a question about the video's content and get a clear, direct written answer, not just a list of timestamps.
Built for long videos
Summarize YouTube videos up to 90 minutes on a free account, or any length with Pro, from lectures and podcasts to full meeting recordings.
Works on YouTube and uploads
Paste any YouTube link or upload a video file directly. Both paths return the same clear, written summary.
Built for research, meetings & long-form content
Get the gist of a lecture, catch up on a meeting recording, or understand a long podcast without watching or listening to the whole thing.
