Pre-screen videos for clickbait, detect content you've already learned, and build a searchable knowledge base from every video worth watching.
The YouTube problem
You click a 45-minute video only to realize it's 90% fluff and clickbait.
Three different creators say the same thing, and you sit through all of them.
Your watch history is useless. The insight is gone. You can't search it.
Features
AI analyzes the transcript against the title and thumbnail claims. You get a quality score, content classification, and value rating — in seconds.
Xtrakt compares every new video against your knowledge base using vector similarity. It shows what percentage is new vs. what you've already learned.
Every video you save gets indexed with embeddings. Full-text search across all your summaries, key ideas, and transcripts. Organized by topic, searchable in seconds.
Key ideas with timestamps — not walls of text. Jump straight to what matters.
Videos auto-tagged and organized by subject. Browse your knowledge like a library.
Ask questions about any video. Get instant answers grounded in the actual transcript content.

Testimonials
"The clickbait detection alone saved me hours this week. I used to fall for every sensational thumbnail — now I check the score first and skip the junk."
Marcus R.
ML Engineer
"I watch a lot of AI research videos and they overlap massively. Xtrakt flags when 70% of a video covers stuff I already know. Game changer for research."
Sarah K.
PhD Student, Computer Science
"I've built a personal library of 200+ summarized dev talks. When I need to revisit a concept, I just search my knowledge base instead of re-watching hours of video."
