Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI Vid Summary for students

Is it really free? What's the catch?

Yes! You get 3 free video summaries per day with no signup required. Just paste a YouTube URL and get instant summaries. If you sign up with your email, you get a one-time bonus of 3 extra summaries. The free tier is truly free forever - no credit card, no trial period. Upgrade to paid plans anytime for unlimited summaries and premium features.

How do I get the 40% student discount?

Simply verify your .edu email address during signup. Once verified, the 40% discount automatically applies to all plans. This brings Pro down to $7.20/month, Premium to $11.40/month, and Ultimate to $23.40/month. The discount is available for as long as you're a student!

Can I summarize videos in languages other than English?

Yes! Our AI can summarize videos with transcripts in any language. Additionally, on paid plans, you can translate summaries to 111 different languages. This is perfect for international students or if you're learning in a non-native language.

How accurate are the summaries?

Our AI uses advanced language models (including GPT-4o and Claude on Premium/Ultimate plans) to analyze video transcripts. The summaries capture all key points, important concepts, and critical details. However, we always recommend using summaries as a study aid alongside your original course materials, not as a replacement.

What's the difference between the plans?

Free: 3 summaries/day, basic summaries only.
Pro ($7.20/mo with student discount): Unlimited summaries, AI chat, translation, 12 templates, Notion integration.
Premium ($11.40/mo): Everything in Pro + priority AI models (GPT-4o, Claude), longer transcription limits, video uploads.
Ultimate ($23.40/mo): Everything in Premium + highest transcription limits, priority processing.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely! 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.

Does the browser extension cost extra?

No! The Chrome and Firefox extensions are completely free to download and use. You can use them with the free plan (3 summaries/day) or any paid plan. The extension makes it even easier to summarize videosโ€”just click while watching YouTube and your summary appears in a sidebar.

How does Notion integration work?

On Pro and higher plans, you can connect your Notion account via OAuth. Once connected, you can export any summary directly to a Notion page or database with one click. This makes it easy to organize all your course notes in one place and keep your study materials synced across tools.

Is my data secure and private?

Yes! 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. We don't track your YouTube watch historyโ€”we only process the videos you explicitly ask us to summarize. You can delete your data anytime from your account settings.

What if a video doesn't have subtitles?

On Premium and Ultimate plans, we use Whisper AI to transcribe videos that don't have subtitles (up to 120min for Premium, 480min for Ultimate). The transcription is very accurate, even with accents or technical terminology. Free and Pro users can only summarize videos that already have subtitles or auto-generated captions.
