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.
Why teams that ship many cheap experiments outperform teams that plan one expensive launch — and how to size a bet so that losing it costs you a week instead of a quarter.
- 4:12
Large launches concentrate risk into a single decision made at the point of least information — the beginning.
- 6:58
Teams read a long build as commitment; the market reads it as absence.
- 11:40
Cap any single experiment at two weeks. Past that, you are no longer testing an idea, you are defending one.
- 19:05
If you cannot name the signal that would end the experiment, you do not have a hypothesis yet.
- 33:58
Twenty discarded options leave behind a map of the problem space that no single success would have produced.
You watched 25 minutes to get 8 minutes of value.
You didn't want the intro, the sponsor read, or the third restatement of point two. You wanted the part that mattered — and a way to find it again next month.

We read the video
Subtitles when they exist, our own transcription when they don't. Then the video gets classified — a tutorial is not a podcast and shouldn't be laid out like one.
- about a minute
You get a note
Summary, key points, sections, insights. Every point carries the second it came from, so a claim you doubt is one click from its source. Long videos, and the ones we have to transcribe ourselves, take a few minutes rather than one.
Structure, not a paragraph.
Transcribers give you words. Summarizers give you a paragraph. A note has parts, and the parts point back into the video.
- Summary
- One or two sentences: who this video is for, and whether it's worth your 47 minutes.
- Key points
- Three to seven ideas, each standing on its own without the surrounding context.
- Sections
- The video broken along its own structure, timestamped.
- Insights
- The non-obvious part — what you'd have underlined if you were taking notes by hand.
- Action items
- Concrete steps, when the video is the kind that has them.
- Resources
- Books, tools, names and links mentioned along the way.
The layout follows the video: a tutorial comes back as numbered steps, a podcast as the thread each speaker was pulling, a review as what held up and what didn't.

The ones that come up.
Why not just read the auto-generated transcript?+
A transcript is the same 47 minutes, in text. 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 didn't 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 in five seconds. That's the whole reason timestamps are non-negotiable for us.
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 does it handle?+
Anything YouTube handles. The note comes back in the language of the video, whatever language you read the app in.
Why is there no sign-up form?+
Because you don't need one to try it. Send a link to the Telegram bot and you'll have your first note before a signup form would have finished loading. The web account comes later, when you want the knowledge base.
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 don't train anything of our own either.
What happens when I hit my limit?+
Nothing is deleted. Your notes stay where they are; you either wait for the next period or move up a plan.
How are hours counted?+
A minute of video is a minute of your plan: a forty-minute talk uses forty minutes, whatever detail level you pick. Two things are counted on top, and both show before you press the button. 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 says which model wrote it.
How long do you keep my notes?+
Indefinitely, on every plan including Free. We don't delete notes when a period ends or when you downgrade.
