NoteGPT covers more input types than we do (PDFs, slides, audio files) and has mobile apps. If you mainly summarize documents rather than build a searchable YouTube library, it may fit you better. Our focus is narrower and deeper: YouTube videos, kept forever, searchable as one corpus.
Free plan, private by default, no card required. Takes about a minute.
