YouTube has a pacing problem. Every video opens with a 2-minute intro, a sponsor read, a recap of what was just said β 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! π
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 β tutorials,
podcasts, interviews β 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 β "what was the
main argument in minute 12?" β 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 β genuinely stoked to be here today. π

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.

@gareth_huΒ Thank you so much, this genuinely made my day! Really glad the sponsor skip came through during a long tutorial β that's exactly the kind of moment it was built for.
The smoother playback transition is already on our radar, totally valid point. We're working on making the jump feel more seamless so it doesn't break your flow. Stay tuned for that update β and if you have any other feedback as you use it more, drop it here or reach out directly. We read everything.

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.

@sare612858Β "Kind of delightful" is exactly the reaction we were going for β so that made us smile! A mid-recipe kitchen store pitch is peak unwanted content and we're glad it caught it without you having to lift a finger.
Great question on interview clips. Dense back-and-forth content is one of the more nuanced cases β the extension handles it well when there are clear off-topic tangents or filler moments, but we're actively improving how it reads tightly packed conversations where everything feels relevant. Would love for you to try it on an interview and tell us what you think. Your real-world feedback on edge cases like that is genuinely how we make it smarter.
