Hey everyone πŸ‘‹ I'm Yusuf, Founder of veridive.
Long-time PH user, first-time maker and honestly a little nervous. πŸ™‚


Here's the thing: the world's experts stopped writing and started talking. Founders explain their thinking on YouTube; scientists go deep on podcasts; doctors, investors and operators say what they really think out loud. We call it the spoken web β€” the biggest, fastest-growing body of human knowledge, and almost none of it is searchable, let alone answerable.


veridive makes it answerable. Ask a question β†’ it searches YouTube live, reads the actual transcripts, ranks by who genuinely knows (not view count), and answers with a citation on every claim that plays the exact second it was said. No more scrubbing a 4-hour video for the 30 seconds that matter.


Three ways to use it:


‒ DeepQuery — ask the whole spoken web, any language, live demo→ https://veridive.com/chat/shared-XeS2ARyODWegvFg4Zw2d1_1_abH3MzLeCsKcEFcIznSEl1t2xxfTfuwMBequBRjK
‒ DeepContext — chat with your own trusted library, live demo→ https://veridive.com/chat/shared-daKA5VjBDnAaXplcSaFj48f0d8JMRlbaE787xbqm44Kf1ZhOe9D5LECAO8ghWDR4
β€’ Studio β€” turn any video into slides, quizzes, mindmaps & flashcards


It's genuinely fun to use β€” and free to start. :)

We'll be in the comments all day β€” tell us what you think and what we should build next. πŸ™

Bryan Williamson

This feels like making YouTube search actually work the way people expect it to

Yusuf Ibili

@bryan_williamson3Β That is exactly the feeling we were chasing, thank you Bryan. πŸ™ Over 70% of views on YouTube is algorithm driven. When you search something, actually it doesn't search as we know from Google.

Charan Tej Kammara

This is quite interesting. As a marketer, I wonder if we can get something like this for the other side. To validate whether the things I want in my video to matter will actually end up doing that.

Yusuf Ibili

@charan_tej_kammaraΒ Hey Charan. The creator and marketer side is something we think about a lot. Not built yet, but noted, and your framing (will what I put in my video actually land) is exactly the right question. What else would you want to measure?

Margarita Shvetsova

Wow, finally somebody made videos searchable! :D I love watching videos (or honestly, mostly listening to), but it means going down a rabbit hole in many cases and eats up a lot of time until you finally find what you needed. Good use of AI doing all the tedious filtering job!

Yusuf Ibili

@margarita_s88Β Hi Margarita. This made our day, thank you :) Actually you can find lots of great videos to watch as well, because we do heavy search/job on YouTube to find what you're looking and we always discover lots of under-the-radar videos for the topic.

Thami Benjelloun

How do you rank who actually knows, like based on channel credibility or just content matching?

Yusuf Ibili

@thamibenjellounΒ Hi Thami - in short both and more. Step one is context matching: does the transcript contain the answer, not just a matching title. Step two is authority, scored per topic, so "who knows about X" is judged differently than "who knows about Y." We lean on signals of real expertise for that domain, never raw channel size or view count.

Alina Tyslenok

Congrats on the launch! πŸš€ The idea of making the spoken web searchable and verifiable is really compelling. Love the ability to jump directly to the exact moment a claim was made.

Yusuf Ibili

@alina_tyslenok_Β Really appreciate it. "Searchable and verifiable" is exactly the bet, especially the verifiable part. If a claim looks too good, one click and you are at the source. What would you point it at first?

Luca Capone

As a non-coder who learned to build off YouTube, the click-to-play citation on the exact second is the part I'd basically live in... I've lost whole evenings scrubbing a 40-minute tutorial for the one step that actually unblocks me. The claim I'm most curious about is ranking by who actually knows. For coding how-tos the top-viewed video is often a year stale and just wrong, so how does veridive surface the credible voice when the loudest one usually wins?

Yusuf Ibili

@luca_caponeΒ Hi Luca - this is the exact use case we built the citation for, so it means a lot coming from you. On ranking: we never trust "most viewed." We first check whether the transcript actually contains a working answer to your specific question, then weight by how credible the speaker is on that topic, and for fast-moving things like coding we lean harder on freshness so a year-stale video does not win by default. It is genuinely the hardest part of the product and we tune it constantly. If you try a coding how-to and the ranking feels off, please let me know.

Varun Mishra

Love the idea of making the spoken web searchable. I can already see myself using this for founder interviews, and long-form podcasts. Congrats!

Yusuf Ibili

@varun1janΒ great to hear that you liked and find it useful. thank youu πŸ™

Farrukh Butt

The β€œnot ranked by view count” part is what makes this interesting. So much useful knowledge is buried in long videos, but trust + timestamped proof is what would make me actually use it.

Yusuf Ibili

@farrukh_butt1Β Hey Farrukh, indeed. It's one of our core feature and how we drive more value.
