YouTube has a pacing problem. Every video opens with a 2-minute intro, a sponsor read, a recap of what was just said — then another sponsor. By the time the actual content starts, you've already burned 10 minutes. SpeedSkip fixes that. It's a Chrome extension that uses AI to analyze any YouTube video's transcript in real time and automatically skips the parts that aren't worth your time.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of SpeedSkip, and I'm pumped to finally share this with you. The idea started from pure frustration. I watch a lot of YouTube — tutorials, podcasts, interviews — and the signal-to-noise ratio is brutal. I'd spend 40 minutes on a video that had maybe 8 minutes of content I actually cared about. I built SpeedSkip so the AI does the filtering for me. You open a video, pick a mode (or let AI decide), and it analyzes the transcript and jumps you straight to the valuable parts. You can also just chat with the video — "what was the main argument in minute 12?" — and it answers instantly. A few things I'd love your feedback on: 1. Which skip modes do YOU find most useful? 2. Are there content types (specific YouTube niches) where it works best / worst? 3. What feature would make you pay for the Pro tier? Happy to answer any questions. This community has helped me sharpen so many products — genuinely stoked to be here today. 🚀 — Youness

Finally a use for AI I can get behind. The sponsor skip alone saved me during a long tutorial, though I wish the playback jumped a bit smoother.

Tried this on a cooking video and it skipped past a long kitchen store pitch mid-recipe without me asking, which was honestly kind of delightful. Wonder how it handles dense interview clips though.
