What is chat mode?
Chat mode lets you ask questions about your video transcripts and summaries and get answers grounded in the source with timestamps.
AI that can explain your videos
Ask an AI that can explain things grounded in your transcript—not generic web answers. Chat with video content, ask questions about video details, and get AI video Q&A tied to source timestamps.

View featureQuestions about Chat mode
Does chat invent content outside the video?
Answers are meant to stay grounded in your transcript and notes so you can verify claims against the source material.
Can chat help me study for exams?
Use chat to clarify confusing sections, then generate flashcards or quizzes from the same video notes for active recall.
Do I need a summary before chatting?
