How AI video summarization works

1

You follow YouTube channels

Sign in with Google, import your subscriptions, and pick the channels you care about.

2

AI analyzes new uploads automatically

When a video is published, our AI processes the full video content — audio, visuals, and context — to produce a comprehensive summary.

3

Summaries appear in your feed

Structured key points, timestamps, and a "worth watching if" recommendation. Click any timestamp to jump directly to that moment on YouTube.

4

Get a daily digest email

One email each morning with all the new uploads from your channels, summarized and ready to scan. Set your preferred time and timezone.

Why Rundown is different from other AI video summarizers

Automatic, not manual

Most video summarizers make you paste a URL every time. Rundown monitors your channels and generates summaries automatically when new videos are uploaded.

Timestamps you can click

Every key point is linked to the exact moment in the video. Click and YouTube opens at that timestamp. No scrubbing through the timeline.

Depth-aware summaries

A 3-minute clip gets a brief overview. A 2-hour podcast gets a detailed breakdown with 15+ key points. The AI adapts to the content length.

Built to enhance watching, not replace it

Rundown is a companion for YouTube. Preview what a video covers, jump to what matters, and watch more intentionally.
