Ask. Understand.
Transcription is just the first step. AskVideo turns the transcript into something you can interrogate: summaries, goals, arguments, definitions, and answers — privately on your Mac.
Ask the video (offline)
Ask questions about any YouTube video and get answers instantly — powered by an AI model that runs locally on your Mac.
Summaries & key takeaways
Get a crisp summary, bullet-point takeaways, and action items without watching end‑to‑end.
Streaming transcript
Drop a YouTube URL and watch the transcript appear in real time. The transcript becomes the knowledge base for Q&A.
Private by Design
Transcription and AI chat run locally on your Mac. No cloud AI processing and no transcript sent to external AI services.
