About Essently

Essently turns videos into clean, readable text and short AI summaries — so you can skim a talk, search a lecture, or catch the point of a long video 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 video's original language. It's more accurate, and it serves the people who actually speak that language.

This is an early product. Today it covers YouTube videos that have captions. Podcasts and audio support are coming soon.
