Too many videos, too little time? PicoBrief turns any YouTube video into a concise, AI-powered summary you can read, listen to, or quiz yourself on — in the language you're most comfortable with.
Five ways to learn from every video:
• Key Points — The main ideas at a glance, each tagged with an emoji for quick scanning.
• Timestamps — Chapter-by-chapter breakdown with descriptions. Tap any timestamp to jump straight to that moment on YouTube.
• Notes — A detailed text summary in clean markdown. Export as PDF, zoom in or out, or copy to clipboard.
• Audio Summary — Listen to an AI-voiced summary with chapter markers. Perfect for commutes, workouts, or multitasking.
• Quiz — Test what you learned with auto-generated questions and detailed explanations.
Summaries in your language:
Summaries are generated natively in your preferred language — not translated from English. Set multiple preferred languages and switch between them instantly.
Discover videos your way:
Browse trending topics, explore channels, or let PicoBrief suggest similar videos as you scroll. Your feed adapts to what you watch.
Free to use:
Sign in with Google or Apple to start generating summaries immediately. All five summary formats are free for every video.
Optional subscription:
Subscribe to unlock background audio playback — keep listening to summaries while you use other apps or lock your screen.
