Built with Claude Code: paste a YouTube link, get a shareable infographic in under a minute
I watch a lot of YouTube. Podcasts, tutorials, finance explainers, the occasional 2-hour deep dive I convince myself is "research." At some point I did the math: I was spending 6+ hours a week on videos where the actual substance, the frameworks, the numbers, the "here's what to do," fit in about 5 minutes. The rest is intros, sponsor reads, recaps of the previous point, and "before we get into it, smash that like button."
Speeding up to 2x helps a little. Skipping around means you miss the one part that mattered. There was no good way to get the substance without paying the full runtime.
So I built Glimpse: you paste a YouTube link, and it turns the video into a clean, visual infographic that captures the core ideas, frameworks, and takeaways. A 40-minute video becomes something you can skim in 30 seconds. Or send it to a friend instead of saying "trust me, watch the whole thing."
How it works under the hood:
- A two-stage AI pipeline: the first pass extracts and structures the substance of the video (arguments, data points, steps, frameworks), the second pass handles visual layout and hierarchy so it reads like a designed graphic, not a wall of bullet points
- Six design presets, so a finance video and a cooking video don't come out looking identical
- Every infographic gets its own share page, so you can post it anywhere with one link
- It's a PWA, nothing to install, works fine on mobile
Most of it was built with Claude Code with Fable 5. I wrote a very detailed spec prompt upfront (architecture, design system, the whole pipeline) and iterated from there. Genuinely the fastest I've ever gone from idea to working product.
It's live at glimpse.wozart.com and free to use.
Would love feedback from this community.
Happy to answer anything about the build, the prompt structure I used with Claude Code, or the pipeline design.
