The day before yesterday, I stumbled across a 3-hour YouTube video titled “How to Grow From Doing Hard Things | Michael Easter.” It looked promising, but I hesitated. I was in between meetings, had limited time, and wasn’t sure if it would be worth watching the whole thing.
That’s when I decided to try NoteGPT.
A Smarter Way to Learn from YouTube
NoteGPT is an AI tool that transcribes and summarizes YouTube videos into clear, structured notes. What really impressed me was how fast and accurate it is. I pasted the video link, and within seconds, I had a complete summary with key takeaways, timestamps, and a full transcript. No fluff — just exactly what I needed to decide whether to dive deeper.
The summary didn’t just skim the surface. It covered every major point, broken down into sections like definitions, examples, and explanations — almost like a personal tutor.
The Life-Saver: NoteGPT Chrome Extension
Later, I installed the NoteGPT YouTube summarizer Chrome extension. It was a life-saver.
Now, when I’m watching a video on YouTube, I can just click a button and get a full summary right on the page — often before the video’s ads even finish. No switching tabs, no copy-pasting URLs. Just instant clarity.
Why It Works for Me
I’m a visual learner, but I also need structure. NoteGPT gives me both: I can still watch the video if I want, but I also get clean notes to refer back to. It saves me time, keeps me focused, and helps me review faster later on.
If you're someone who learns from YouTube — lectures, tutorials, explainers — I highly recommend giving NoteGPT a try.
