About

AskTube AI

AskTube AI turns any YouTube video into an interactive learning session. Instead of watching passively, you search by voice or text, let the AI index the transcript, and chat with the content — every answer is grounded in the source and links back to the exact moment in the video.

How it works

  1. Search

    Type a topic or speak it. AskTube queries YouTube and returns curated, embeddable videos.

  2. Pick a video

    Browse results in the carousel and select the video you want to learn from.

  3. Prepare

    The backend extracts the full transcript, splits it into chunks, and indexes it in ChromaDB.

  4. Ask anything

    Chat with the video. Every answer is grounded in the transcript and links back to exact timestamps.
