Eightify

Browser extension and app that condenses any YouTube video into eight key takeaways with clickable timestamps, cutting long videos into a short read.

Eightify launched in 2022, founded by Alex Kataev with Dmytro Tymoshenko now serving as CEO, and operates as a small, largely bootstrapped team based in Valencia, Spain. The Chrome extension went viral quickly, reportedly reaching tens of millions of visits within its first year as students, researchers, and busy professionals adopted it to skim long lectures, interviews, and tutorials. The product reads a YouTube video's transcript and generates eight timestamped bullet points summarizing the key ideas, available through a Chrome extension, mobile apps, and a web app, with support for 40-plus languages. Eightify monetizes through a subscription that removes the daily free-summary cap, competing with browser-based summarizers and AI chat tools that have added YouTube-summary features of their own.
