Glimpse turns long YouTube videos into short, visual summaries. Search for a YouTube video link and get a clear summarised infographic covering the video, within a minute. Each infographic is laid out with structure, hierarchy, and comparisons you can scan at a glance. A 30-minute video becomes a 30-second scan - you don't have to spend hours to gain information. Glimpse has a Discover feed. It's the antidote to mindless scrolling. Instant information. Your scroll time finally counts.
How well does it handle videos that rely heavily on visual demos or code walkthroughs, where the spoken summary alone might miss the actual content being shown on screen?
@saadetcihaa03j Good question, and worth being upfront about: Glimpse works from the audio/transcript, so it's strongest on talk-heavy videos — podcasts, lectures, tutorials where the speaker narrates what they're doing. In practice most code walkthroughs do narrate as they type, so summaries still capture the flow and key decisions. But for silent screencasts or demos where the screen carries info that's never spoken, some of that gets missed today.
Would love a way to save infographics into themed collections so I can build up a little library around topics I'm researching, instead of losing them in the feed.
@araszengin54995 You can currently favourite infographics and view them in the favourites section on the home page. Working on a way to organise them into folders.
the thing I'd want to know is whether compressing strips out hedging - a lot of videos are worth watching specifically because of the "but it depends on X" caveats buried in the middle, and a summary optimized for scannability might quietly flatten those into a more confident-sounding takeaway than the speaker actually intended
@galdayan thanks for pointing this out. The system prompt does specifically ask the summarisation to keep such caveats. It is however not a 100% yet at following this instruction and some caveats may be dropped. That being said, the discovery feed is moderated by us manually to make sure only the best outputs are shown to users in the feed.
