Long video, short read
Video is a poor format for reference. It is linear, slow to skim, and impossible to search. A summary plus a searchable transcript turns a recording into something you can actually use as a source.
JumpWatch currently works with YouTube videos. Paste a link above for the free transcript, or add the extension for AI summaries and chat on the page.
Structured, not vague
Key points and sections rather than a single generic paragraph that could describe any video.
Timestamped
Every point maps back to a moment in the video, so the summary doubles as a table of contents.
Interrogable
Ask follow-up questions about the video instead of re-watching to find one detail.

Who summarizes video
Professionals
Catch up on webinars, earnings calls, and industry talks by reading the transcript in a few minutes instead of blocking out an hour.
Students
Turn a two-hour lecture into text you can search, quote, and revise from — far faster than scrubbing the video for one definition.
Researchers
Pull the actual argument out of a conference talk or interview, with timestamps you can cite, without watching the whole recording.
Analysts
Work through earnings calls, product launches, and keynotes without watching every minute of each one.
