Skimming AI Reviews

Besides from the fact that this tool has not one single USP compared with other products, it isn't even close to a finished product. Unpleasant UI/UX and too many bugs.

I’ve really enjoyed using Skimming AI, it’s a very useful tool. So far, I’ve tested it with YouTube videos, and it works great. It processes videos quickly (about 30 seconds per 10 minutes of video), and then you can ask it to generate a summary or even ask questions about the video’s content.
It’s very easy to use, and you can choose the length of the response (short, medium, or long), which is a great feature. It also saves your explorations and allows you to organize them into folders, so you can review them individually or based on the full folder context.
Honestly, I’ve been positively surprised. Great job, congratulations to the team!

Update: I am now leveraging this tool to help me take a thin-content video-oriented website-in-the-making to a content powerhouse. I am running video URLs through it and getting detailed descriptions that far exceed what video makers produce on YouTube, for example. For long videos, I am capturing transcripts. The result is going from one- to three-sentence descriptions to hundreds and even thousands of words of content. This will be a game-changer for this website. Skimming AI is exceptional!

What a fantastic tool! You can input a YouTube video URL, and, a minute or two later, you get the full transcript and can ask questions to pull information quickly. You can do the same with website links, PDFs and much more.

I think Skimming AI is going to be a new sidekick for me in processing mounds of information quickly, especially with videos. I have founds speeds are taking longer, however, than the info nugget underneath the URL box: "Estimated wait: ~30 sec for 10-min videos, ~2.5 min for 45-min videos in English. Non-English processing may take longer." A number of 10-minute videos have taken a full minute.

I'm not taking off stars for this, but I had trouble getting YouTube video URLs to be recognized while using Skimming AI on Firefox on an iPad Mini this morning.

Keep growing and improving this tool!

Skimming AI is quickly becoming my go-to for chatting with PDFs and videos. It has already given me insights into subjects that I am well versed in, simply by chatting with a YouTube video that was in a different language with no closed captions (CC). For me this is a game changer.

I do use other AI to chat with PDF and YouTube videos, while they are good at their specialities, Skimming AI just seems to be more versatile for what I need. Using the other AI platforms with their specialities in conjunction with Skimming AI will be gold for me.

I've only had one issue, whereby, when asking questions, it would not show them, nor give any answers. A quick refresh on the browser fixed it though.

Brillant work team, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing skimming AI's evolution

To conclude, this product has the potential to surpass NotebookLM.

The product is currently in the early stages of development, but the developers are willing to listen to user feedback and are working hard to perfect and provide the features to users. This alone is commendable.

Unfortunately, there are still many areas that need improvement, so I can only give it 4 tacos. I hope that one day I can come back here and add the fifth taco.
