👋🏻 Hi Product Hunt community! I'm Steven, the founder of Lookie AI. Lookie is a productivity tool that turns YouTube into your personal knowledge bank! Like many of you, I often turn to YouTube for everything—whether it's travel tips, finding great places to eat, or learning something new for work. But I feel two major pain points during this process: 👉 Pain point 1: It takes a lot of time to gather useful knowledge from videos. 👉 Pain point 2: I always had to open a separate notes app to store and manage the information. Enter Lookie, by sharing the video with Lookie in a single click, you get: 📝 Preview & Summary within Youtube: Lookie generates a summary and preview for the long videos you want to consume, so you don’t have to spend hours consuming content. Quickly grasp the key information from the video, cutting out the clutter. ⚡Save information with Highlights: Using the highlights in Lookie, you can save the important information from the video in a structured way, making sure you are always a click away from the information you absorbed. 🤖 AI Chat bot for the video: Long videos often leave you with some questions, and Lookie’s AI chat bot for the video would be there for the rescue. Once you’ve shared the video with Lookie, you can ask the AI chatbot any question from the video, and you will have your answers right at your fingertips. 🌍 Consume global content: With Lookie’s AI, language is no barrier when it comes to Youtube videos. It supports translations from 200+ languages, allowing you to gather as much information as you can, surpassing the language barrier. Till now, Lookie has been in private beta, and we have had 3500+ users who are using it to save time, and learn more! 🧠 Students are using Lookie to absorb knowledge from long videos in lesser time, and managing all of it efficiently in a single app. 🧳 People travelling abroad are using it to quickly find the best places to visit, by consuming local videos on the go. 👔 Busy professionals are using Lookie to consume videos to learn more about their market, and brush up their skills by consuming longer videos in almost 1/4th time. With Lookie, we hope to make your YouTube experience not just about watching, but also about creating meaningful knowledge. We are live on both Play Store and Apple Store, and I’d love if you can give Lookie a try and let us know how you like it! https://onelink.to/lookie-ai To celebrate our Product Hunt launch, we're offering a special discount on our premium plan for a limited time—don’t miss out! I'd love to hear your valuable feedback and will work quickly to improve the product based on your suggestions :) Make YouTube your brain! ⚡🧠

This is such a great idea @future_oh! Many times I end with too many videos in the "Watch later" section that then I anyways don't have the time to see, as they keep piling up. Something like this would be great to at least skim through the important parts. I think this should be by default in YouTube :) We don't all have the time to watch a long video to get the gist out of it, especially now that more & more creators are becoming video-first... Congrats on this 🙌 Has a lot of potential! All the best moving forward
Steven Oh
@owenfar Thank you so much, Owen! You nailed it—what you mentioned is exactly why we created Lookie, and it's a big part of our story. We wanted to make it feel like you're adding knowledge to your shopping cart. 🧠 -> 🛒 Hope you get to experience that feeling with Lookie!
Steven Oh
@kjosephabraham Oh Joseph, thank you so much! That’s an interesting question. We actually went through one pivot. Initially, we weren’t entirely confident about the user experience. But approaching the mobile YouTube experience with the concept of a “knowledge shopping cart🧠🛒” was a game-changer for us. We’ve been experiencing it ourselves since the demo stage, and it’s been truly amazing!
Johnsy George
@future_oh Congratulations! How is it different from NoteGPT?
Steven Oh
@johnsy Hi Johnsy, thank you so much! 😊 We’re proud to offer the world’s first mobile app usability experience—it’s incredibly easy to use! Plus, it’s technically very advanced. I’d love for you to experience how smartly it understands every video and processes even the smallest details down to every word!
André J
Question: Is it a chat with YouTube videos app?
Steven Oh
@sentry_co Answer: First, share to Lookie, and then you can start chatting! You'll be able to search for information and revisit specific parts of any video through chat for all the content you've watched. We're currently working on this feature! Thank you, Andre!
Ahmet Erkan Paşahan
Perfect! While time efficiency is so low in this century, such applications are very useful. Congrats on your launch!
Steven Oh
@aepasahan Thank you, Ahmet! You’re absolutely right. Our days are filled with overwhelming amounts of information, and the supply of content just keeps increasing. I believe the most important role of AI is to compress and streamline all this information. I see this trend continuing in the future. Thanks again for your support! 🙏
Andrey Lipkovskiy
Hi team! Great app that saves tons of time! I used to watch long professional videos and sometimes It is often very difficult to perceive and structure information in your head in order to extract the most important points without spending hours on it. Great job! Congrats 👏
Steven Oh
@lipkovskiy Oh, thank you so much, Andrey. I’m a huge YouTube watcher too. Here’s a fun tip: ever since I started using Lookie, I save the entertaining content for when I’m relaxing and share all the knowledge-related videos straight to Lookie. Later, when I have some focused time, I can digest all that valuable information at once 📚
Julio Medina
Best tagline I’ve seen today!
Steven Oh
@juliomedina Oh, really? Thank you so much, Julio! Watch YouTube 100x smarter and faster! 🧠⚡️
Oleg Lekuchev
Great app, team! Finally, someone did it. You've saved us all tons of time. Thank you. Wishing you continued success with further development. Idea: It would be great if you could make the index clickable to quickly scroll to the right section.
Steven Oh
@oleg_lekuchev Oh, Oleg, thank you so much! 😊 Just like you mentioned, I also used to feel frustrated trying to gather information from the 1-2 hours of YouTube I watch each day! But I’m confident that our technology for transforming YouTube into valuable knowledge will impress you. Our AI understands and delivers answers in a much more detailed and smarter way compared to other products. We’ll definitely consider adding a clickable index in our next update. Thanks again for the great suggestion!
Naresh Meetei
Lookie will save a lot of time. Can't wait to explore more. Congrats on the launch. Good luck!
Steven Oh
@nareshmeetei Thank you so much, Naresh! :) When you’re watching YouTube on your mobile, just remember to share it with Lookie!
Oleg Sobolev
As a person who watches a lot of tutorials of different kind, this is gold!
Steven Oh
@oleg_sobolev Thank you, Oleg! :) I love the expression "gold"—it’s fresh and fun! Haha! The generated results are really great! We’ve tackled a lot of technical challenges to get here.

Hey @future_oh, Lookie sounds like a game-changer for anyone who frequently turns to YouTube for learning and inspiration. The ability to generate previews and summaries directly within YouTube is a huge time-saver, especially for those of us who find ourselves deep diving into lengthy videos. The highlight feature seems perfect for keeping track of key insights without juggling multiple apps—finally, a solution to the chaos of endless note-taking! And the AI chatbot? Genius. Having instant answers to questions from the video content is a feature I didn't know I needed until now. Plus, the language translation capability opens up a whole new world of content previously inaccessible. Can’t wait to give Lookie a spin and see how it enhances my YouTube experience. Congratulations on the launch, and here's to transforming YouTube into a smarter learning hub! 🚀
Steven Oh
@steven_wang_0804 Thank you so much, Steven! :) I guess you wrote such a long comment because we share the same name, right? I really appreciate the great insights you’ve shared! I totally relate to everything you mentioned. I get so much insight and information from YouTube as well! Even when I'm searching for restaurants or travel spots, I always turn to YouTube for the best recommendations! In the past, I used to gather information manually, scrolling through long videos and taking notes in Notion separately. But during my short time using Lookie, I’ve already added 76 videos to it! 📺
Marco Strohm Katigbak
Congrats! This will be so helpful for my YouTube education
Steven Oh
@mstrohmkatigbak Thank you so much, Marco! 😊 It’s also super handy for finding great restaurant recommendations! Appreciate the support!

Viennarz Curtiz
Very useful for people like me who watched videos for learning! Congratulations on your launch! Is there a plan to be able to save or bookmark videos within the app, as well as export the answers to PDF?
Steven Oh
Hey @viennshi, thanks for your kind words. And yes, that's a great idea. We'll surely add that to our list of upcoming features and allow exporting the bookmarks and highlights as a pdf for further use!
Krish Yadav
Really great idea, and look forward to using it.

Nina Chan
This looks great. Congrats on the release! Will finally get through all my "Watch Later" videos now!
Steven Oh
@nina_computer Oh, Nina, that's exactly right! Haha! I've already added 76 videos myself. I end up using it like "Watch Later." When I want to watch something fun, I’ll collect knowledge-related content in Lookie and then binge-watch it all at once, just like reading! :) Thank you!
Yuvraj Kewate
Congrats @future_oh on launching Lookie! The idea of turning YouTube into a personal knowledge bank is fantastic—especially for busy professionals and students who want to consume content more efficiently. The AI chatbot and highlight features are game changers for managing and revisiting key insights without wasting time. One suggestion would be to add a feature for exporting summaries or highlights into existing note-taking apps for even more flexibility. Great work, excited to see where Lookie goes next! 🚀
Steven Oh
@uvkewate Oh Yuvraj, Thank you so much. I think your idea is fantastic! It would be great to have summaries, highlights, and the content you've read organized daily into connected notes :) We’ll definitely prioritize this feature. Thanks again! 🙌
