00:00 — THE PROMISE
A 47-minute video
becomes a 4-minute read
KnowledgeClip pulls the structure out of any YouTube video — key points, sections, insights, every one linked to its timestamp. Send a link; most notes come back in under a minute.
The other 43 were intro, sponsor read, and the third restatement of point two.
01:12 — THE PROBLEM
You watch 25 minutes to get 8 minutes of value.
18–25min
Average length of an educational video.
4min
The note you read instead, with every point timestamped.
70%
Of YouTube is watched on mobile, where taking notes is not an option.
You didn’t want the intro, the sponsor read, or the third restatement of point two. You wanted the eight minutes that mattered — and a way to find them again next month.
02:40 — WHAT YOU GET BACK
Not a paragraph. A map.
Transcribers give you words. Summarizers give you a paragraph. We give you structure — with timestamps back into the video.
Filler is marked as filler. The point the host glossed over is still in there, at the second it happened.

05:30 — WHY THIS ONE
01
Every point is a timestamp
Click any line and you land on the second it came from. If a claim looks wrong, you verify it in five seconds — that is why timestamps are non-negotiable here.
02
Right where you watch
Send a link to Telegram from your phone and the note comes back before your stop. No tab switching, no desktop required.
03
The template adapts
A tutorial breaks down into steps, a podcast into speaker positions, a review into trade-offs. One rigid format for everything is what makes AI output taste like porridge.
04
It compounds
Notes accumulate into something searchable. The twentieth note is worth more than the first, because that is when search starts returning things you forgot you saw.
06:10 — HOW IT WORKS
From link to note in three steps.
01
Create your account
Email and password, or one tap through the Telegram bot. The free plan starts immediately — no card.
02
Send a YouTube link
Paste it in the app or forward it to the bot from your phone. Pick how deep the note should go.
03
Read the note
Key points, sections and insights, every line linked to its timestamp. Most notes are back in under a minute; long videos, and the ones we transcribe ourselves, take a few. Upgrade any time from Plan & billing.

07:30 — QUESTIONS
Why not just read the auto-generated transcript? +
A transcript is the same 47 minutes, in text. It has no hierarchy, no separation of signal from filler, and nothing to search across videos. A note is 23 points, grouped by section, each linked to its second in the video.
How do I know the AI did not invent things? +
Every point carries the timestamp it came from. If a claim looks off, one click takes you to the source and you verify it yourself.
Does it work for videos without subtitles? +
On Starter and above, yes — we transcribe the audio ourselves. The free plan works with videos that already have subtitles, which is most of YouTube but not all of it.
What languages? +
Anything YouTube handles. The note comes back in the language of the video.
How are hours counted? +
A minute of video is a minute of your plan: a forty-minute talk uses forty minutes, whatever depth you pick. Two things are counted on top, and both show on the button before you press it. A video without subtitles also uses transcription hours, because we transcribe the audio ourselves. And a note on the best model counts at least ten minutes, because even a one-minute clip costs it real work. If your best-model hours run out, we finish the note on Balanced rather than refuse it, and the note tells you which model wrote it.
How long do you keep my notes? +
Indefinitely, on every plan including Free. Nothing is deleted when a period ends or when you downgrade.
Is my data used to train models? +
No. We use the paid APIs of OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, and none of them train on data sent that way. We do not train anything of our own either.
