Top 5 AI-Powered Chrome Extensions for YouTube
Navigating YouTube content and optimizing video SEO can be a demanding task. With the rise of AI-driven tools, however, a new set of Chrome extensions promise to make the experience smoother and more efficient. Here are the top 5 Chrome extensions you should consider for a smarter YouTube experience.
1. Glarity
Glarity is an open-source Chrome extension that harnesses ChatGPT to summarize search results and YouTube videos. As soon as a video begins, Glarity springs into action, displaying an AI-generated summary on the right side of the video.
A standout feature is the customizable ChatGPT prompt. Though Glarity offers example prompts, users can craft their ChatGPT prompts for optimal summaries.
For Glarity's functionality, a ChatGPT account is a prerequisite. Additionally, integration with OpenAI’s API is also available.
For users only interested in YouTube video summaries, Glarity's settings offer the flexibility to exclude other websites. Moreover, a manual mode ensures summaries are generated only upon request.
2. VidAI
VidAI is a game-changer for YouTube creators. As a Chrome extension, it focuses on optimizing YouTube video titles, descriptions, and tags, ensuring content is discoverable and engaging.
What sets VidAI apart is its global reach, breaking down language barriers through title and description translations. For multi-channel YouTube creators, VidAI's unlimited channel linking is a blessing.
Beyond these features, VidAI's AI-driven suggestions promise a well of content ideas, ensuring creators never hit a dry spell. With its seamless integration into YouTube, VidAI offers an effortless and efficient approach to YouTube SEO optimization.
For a hands-on experience, VidAI offers a 3-day free trial.
3. Eightify
Enter Eightify, a GPT-driven Chrome extension designed to distill YouTube videos into concise summaries. Its user-friendly interface presents a "Summarize" button adjacent to the "Like" button, generating summaries viewable on the video's right side.
Eightify's unique selling point? An eight-point summary that encapsulates any YouTube video's essence. Users can delve deeper into any of the points if additional details are required. Multilingual summaries further enhance its appeal.
However, there are some limitations. The free plan offers five summaries upon installation, followed by three weekly. Moreover, only videos with over 30,000 views and under 60 minutes are eligible for free summaries. For unlimited access, users can upgrade to Eightify Pro.

4. Upword
Upword, while primarily a note-taking and summarization tool, is indispensable for YouTube aficionados. Unlike other tools, Upword's summaries are extensive, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
For instance, an 11-minute YouTube video may receive a 485-word summary, condensing the content by 77%. A side feature displays a time-stamped transcript, enabling users to jump to specific video sections.
Advanced features, including note personalization and sharing, come at a cost, with a $15 monthly subscription fee. However, a seven-day free trial provides users a taste of its capabilities.

A unique feature lies in its customizable prompt settings, allowing for title, URL, and language placeholders.
Beyond YouTube, this extension has the capability to summarize articles and other text formats. Users dissatisfied with a generated summary can request a reiteration, ensuring optimal results.
