How Essently works
From a link to a transcript and summary in seconds — or on autopilot for the channels you follow.
One-off, by link
Paste a YouTube link
Drop any video URL on the home page. No account, no browser extension, nothing to install.
Get the summary
A short, specific AI summary — in the same language the video is spoken in.
Read, copy or download
You get a permanent page with the full transcript and the summary. Copy either, or download the transcript as a text file.
On autopilot
Following a channel but tired of watching every upload? Subscribe and let Essently do the watching.
Subscribe to a channel
Add a YouTube channel by its link or @handle, and pick how often you want to hear from it.
We watch for new videos
When the channel posts, Essently transcribes and summarizes the new video automatically.
Get it your way
Receive each summary the moment it's ready, or bundled into a daily or weekly digest — by email.
Podcast subscriptions are coming soon — follow a show and get every new episode summarized the same way.
