Hey everyone 👋 I'm Guillermo, the founder of Claras. I built this because I was spending way too much time on YouTube — scrubbing through 40-minute tutorials trying to find the one thing I needed. I wanted to just ask the video a question and get an answer. So I built that. Funny note: After I built Claras, the first thing I started using it for wasn't research or learning — it was calling out clickbait. I just ask the video its own title question and find out in 3 seconds if it actually answers it. Spoiler: it usually doesn't. 😅 Here's what Claras does: Core features: 🎙️ One-click transcript of any YouTube video 🤖 AI chat — ask anything about the video, get instant answers from the video 📋 Auto-generated summary + timestamped table of contents 🔍 Highlight key moments and save them for later 📥 Export as TXT, or PDF 🌍 Works in English and Spanish right now, but will expand 🔑 Lifetime plan: bring your own AI API, no credit system, unlimited usage Who it's for: ⚡ Founders learning on YouTube — skip the fluff, extract only what's relevant to your business. Ask "what strategies are discussed?" or "how did they acquire their first 100 users?" and get the answer in seconds. 🎓 Students & researchers — pull key arguments, quotes, and insights from lectures, interviews, and documentaries without taking manual notes. Build a searchable knowledge base from your video sources. 📺 Casual viewers & vloggers — use the table of contents to see what a video covers before committing to watching it. Skip straight to the sections that matter to you. Better than the native skippable sections on Youtube 🎤 Webinars, speeches & long tutorials — never sit through a 2-hour conference recording again. Get a full breakdown, jump to timestamps that cover your interests, and ask follow-up questions like you were there live. We've already transcribed over 100,000 minutes of YouTube content in beta. Would love to hear what you'd use it for — drop a comment below! 🚀

@guillermo_morales1 As someone digging into sales systems and founder content daily, how's Claras handling quick Q&A on dense business videos like webinars? Any tweaks planned for non-English tech talks?

@swati_paliwal hi there!!

Thanks for the comment - Clara’s can handle quick Q&A because of the Ask AI feature

The AI has access to the ENTIRE VIDEO so it knows how to answer every question. This works with videos up to 3 hours!

As to language: right now it’s Spanish and English but I will soon add +60 languages :)

Congrats on your launch! Being able to export transcripts is super useful. Can you detail how transcription works? Several questions:

Does it use YouTube’s native subtitles, or generate its own transcript?

What languages are supported for transcription and AI processing?

How does it handle videos with multiple speakers or heavy background noise?

Can I edit the transcript manually before exporting it as TXT/PDF?

@elena_nimchenko Hi Elena! Thank you for the kind message. To answer your questions

1) A combination actually, and it will get better, if Youtube has no transcript, we create it with AI
2) Right now the main two languages are English and Spanish but will expand to 60+ languages soon
3) Incredibly well. While it might not recognize who said what, it is really good at highlighting what was said
4) Is this something youd like to do? May I ask why? - I could add this option if you need it!

Thank you!

Some times the videos are so long and we just need the context and move on, this kind of tool is really helpful when the presenter takes ages to get to the point!
