About Essently

Essently turns YouTube videos and podcast episodes into clean, readable text and short AI summaries — so you can skim a talk, search a lecture, or catch the point of a long interview in a fraction of the time.

You can use it two ways: paste a link for a one-off summary, or subscribe to the channels you follow and get each new video summarized to your inbox — instantly or as a digest.

We keep transcripts and summaries in the original language of the video or podcast. It's more accurate, and it serves the people who actually speak that language.

Two sources, one product. For a YouTube video we read its existing captions, so the summary is ready in seconds. For a podcast we transcribe the audio, which takes a few minutes. Paste a link from either.
