Why founders use Claras

Turn hours of YouTube into decisions

Market research, competitive teardowns, learning, hiring calls — the signal you need is buried inside long videos. Claras pulls it out so you can act on it faster.

Instant summaries

Get the key moments, insights, and takeaways of any video in seconds. Read a 40-minute tutorial in two.

Chat with any video

Ask "what did they say about pricing?" and get an answer pulled from the full transcript. Every saved video becomes a knowledge base.

Skip to what matters

Every video becomes a clickable table of contents. Jump straight to the section you need and skip the filler.

Feed your AI stack

Export full transcripts to Claude, ChatGPT, or NotebookLM and build research assistants and content analyzers from real video content.

Never lose an insight

Highlight, tag, and organize key moments as you watch. Everything stays searchable and one click from your notes app.

Works in 17+ languages

Transcribe and summarize videos in dozens of languages, then export as TXT or PDF.

FAQ

Questions founders ask

Is Claras free?
Yes — install the Chrome extension and start free, with no credit card or account. Paid plans lift the daily limits and unlock bulk summarizing across whole playlists and searches.
Can I export transcripts to ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Export a full transcript in one click and drop it into Claude, ChatGPT, or NotebookLM to build research assistants, content analyzers, and custom agents from real video content.
Does it work on long podcasts and webinars?
Any length — short clips or three-hour deep dives. Claras reads the whole transcript and breaks it into clickable chapters so you can jump to the parts that matter.
Do you store the videos I paste?
No. Claras processes the transcript to build your summary and chat; nothing you paste is stored.
