How do the 12 preset templates work?

Each template formats the summary differently based on your learning goal. For example: "Actionable Steps" breaks down how-to videos into numbered instructions, "Key Quotes" extracts memorable insights, "Mind Map" shows concept relationships, and "Q&A" creates study questions. You choose the template that fits your learning style for each video.

Can I summarize entire playlists or courses?

Yes! The batch processing feature (available on Pro and higher) lets you paste a playlist URL and get summaries of all videos at once. This is perfect for online courses, documentary series, or when you want to deep-dive into a topic with multiple videos. Save hours of watching time!

Is my learning data private and secure?

Absolutely! We take security seriously. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We're GDPR compliant and never share your information with third parties.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes! There are no long-term commitments. You can cancel your subscription anytime from your account dashboard. You'll continue to have access until the end of your billing period, and you can always re-subscribe later if you change your mind. Learning should fit your life, not lock you in.
