From video to answers in seconds
No wrestling with the timeline. Add a video — or just open one with the extension — and Claras does the rest.
One tool. Every YouTube video, handled.
Transcribe, summarize, chapter, chat, search and export — so the videos piling up in your Watch Later finally give something back.
Bulk Summaries for whole playlists & searches
Summarize an entire playlist or a whole search page at once: dozens of videos processed together instead of one at a time.
AI summaries & chapters
A TL;DR, the key points, and clickable chapters that jump to the exact moment.
17 languages
If the video has captions, Claras handles it — auto-detected, and summarized in the language you want.
Chat with any video: Ask AI
Ask a question and get an answer pulled from the full transcript, with the timestamp it came from. No searching, no rewatching.
Instant, accurate transcripts
The full transcript of any video in seconds: every word, timestamped, in the language it was spoken.
Export & repurpose
Send any transcript to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or NotebookLM — or export TXT, PDF and .srt to build your own knowledge base.
Who is Claras for?
If you learn or build from YouTube, Claras watches the long stuff for you, so you keep the signal and skip the fluff.
Learn every new AI tool without sitting through every demo
Paste a 40-minute launch video and get the setup steps, the parts that matter and an honest read on whether it's worth your time.
- Pull the exact setup steps out of a model release demo
- Compare three tool reviews at once with Bulk Summaries
- Ask the video: "does this run on local models?"
Summarize with any AI model you like
Claras runs on a fast, free model out of the box. On Unlimited, bring your own API key to summarize with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and more. Your key stays in your browser, we never see it.

Learn from YouTube without losing your day to it
A long video usually holds a few minutes of what you came for. Claras gets you to those minutes.
What we're building next
Three things on the way. Here is a first look at each one.
Turn YouTube videos into slideshows
Promote your own content, or find videos your audience cares about, turn them into value, and plug yourself on the last slide. Export for Instagram, TikTok and Google Slides. It's a format brands already use to reach 1M+ views.
Instagram Reels and TikTok
The same summaries, key points and answers, for short videos outside YouTube.
Comment summaries
Get the vibe of a video's comments in a few lines: what people agree with, and where they push back.
