Hi folks, my cofounder Mohammed and I are building Afterword, the best summarization app in existence!
We want to solve the anxiety and overload of engaging with new subjects, by building a visual way to surf and absorb information. With Afterword you can start charging through your reading list (we support Pocket imports) or your YouTube watch later list, with a simple UX so you can focus on understanding.
Managing knowledge is an old genre of software, and we could see that LLMs can be used to build a whole new class of KM apps. But we found that nothing like this existed or was even building in this direction.
We wanted something like this for ourselves. We’ve got loads of exciting, thought provoking features in the pipeline. Summarization is just the start.

@aneesh_arora I've used Afterword to research for interviews and to make bite-sized content from long panel discussions. Absolutely love it!
@aneesh_arora Afterword has been very time efficient in understanding the Gist of time-consuming materials.
@aneesh_arora Brilliant idea - summarization is one of the things LLMs do best, so why not create a product around it? Good luck with your launch!
I have really enjoyed using Afterword to summarize YouTube videos and articles. It has sped up my learning across various areas of research for my work. The ability to quickly digest complex information and integrate insights into my projects has been invaluable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their efficiency and knowledge acquisition!
💡 Bright idea
Looks interesting guys! Does it help in linking internally to build personal knowledge graphs? Future suggestions? What does the product roadmap look like?
@nimit_mehra1 Yes, something like that is in the pipeline. Although personal knowledge graphs are quite limited in their navigability and they become unusable once there is any amount of useful knowledge in them.
We have plans to 'break them out', so to speak.
Congratz on the launch! This product is well needed, especially for the audio and video.
@ofir_kruvi Thanks Ofir! Please feel free to send any feedback our way. Is there any specific use case that you have in mind atm?
Congrats on the launch! I'm curious to know how Afterword utilizes LLMs to provide accurate and concise summaries across various types of media, and what other innovative features are planned for the future to enhance the user experience even further.
@anastasia_chakileva_ Hi Anastasia, about planned features, I will paste my reply to Nimit's comment above:
"Yes, (personal knowledge graphs) are in the pipeline. Although personal knowledge graphs are quite limited in their navigability and they become unusable once there is any amount of useful knowledge in them.

Been using the pre-release version and I must say I love the outcome. Saves me a lot of time and allows me to collaborate with my team as well. Do try this fellas!
Looking great and improving every day! Having used it since the early pre-launch days, Afterword is just what you need to summarise a lengthy document or article
Congrats on the launch guys! YouTube summarising working well and the interface is looking good!
This is a great product. I personally hate lenghty youtube videos and Afterword is amazing. Tried it and I think I am going to use it quite frequently.
Has been helpful in my research and the transcripts for YouTube is a god send!
Afterword has helped me organise my reading and has made it much easier for me to keep track of what I read.
Congratulations @aneesh_arora on the launch.
Absolutely the solution I have been waiting for. Loving it so far and can’t wait to put it to further tests
A right product launch at the right time. The Summarisation capability resonates with me since I'm always skipping lengthy podcasts to just see the relevant info.
