I got tired of wasting 40 minutes on YouTube just to find one answer, so I built this.

AskYouTube lets you ask questions directly about the video you're watching.

Instead of scrubbing through a 1-hour tutorial, podcast, lecture, or review, you can just ask:

  • “What does he recommend?”
  • “When does she explain pricing?”
  • “What are the main arguments?”
  • “Which tool does he use?”
  • “Summarize the part about X.”

And get the answer without hunting through the entire video.

YouTube does have some AI functionality for this already, but it relies on Gemini, and in my experience, it’s pretty limited.

With this extension, you can choose the AI model you prefer, instead of being locked into one.

It works directly from YouTube as a browser extension, and it's free to use.

I originally built it because I watch a ridiculous amount of long-form YouTube content and kept thinking: why can't I just ask the video what I need to know?

So now you can.

Try it here: https://lappice.com/

Would love to know what you think, especially which AI you prefer and what kind of videos you'd use it for.

AskYouTube, ask the video instead of searching through it.

I stopped watching 20-minute videos to get 1 answer and honestly I'm never going back

You know the drill. you search "how to fix X", the answer is clearly one sentence long, but the top result is an 18 minute video with a 90 second intro, a sponsor read, a "smash that like button", and the actual answer buried at 14:32.

A few weeks ago I got fed up and thought: the answer is already in there, I just can't search it properly. So I built a small extension that adds a prompt box under the video and connects it to whatever AI you already use (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok). You just type "where does he explain X" or "summarize this with timestamps" and it answers from the actual video.

Now I use it for everything. Tutorials, 2 hour podcasts ("what were the 3 most controversial claims and when were they made"), lectures, product reviews ("does he mention any cons at all"). Getting timestamps back instead of scrubbing feels like cheating.

It's called askYoutube if anyone wants to try it, free version here: http://lappice.com/ Genuinely curious if other people are as tired of the 18 minutes for 1 answer format as I am, or if it's just me.
