About SkipBait

SkipBait is a Chrome extension that adds an intelligence layer to YouTube on the watch page. A dedicated side panel gives you honest titles, timestamped outlines, transcripts, actionables, and AI chat while you watch. Revisit a timestamped outline to find that one moment, extract action items, or dig deeper with AI. See Product demo here. Unlike generic AI summarisers, SkipBait is built specifically for YouTube's ecosystem: it rewrites clickbait titles into honest ones, extracts grounded action items backed by web sources, and gives you an AI chat that can go beyond the video. SkipBait is for the people who kept YouTube when they quit everything else but still want to use it on their own terms.

You can also use the free YouTube transcript downloader and check out SkipBait's YouTube AI summarizer feature breakdown or see how SkipBait compares to Eightify.

Is this for you?

You already did the hard part. You quit Instagram, deleted TikTok. Maybe you nuked Twitter too. You kept YouTube because it's different, because there's actually something worth learning there, buried under the clickbait and the algorithm's idea of entertainment.

The rabbit hole is still real. SkipBait is for using YouTube on your terms: honest titles, grounded action items, and room to leave when two minutes is enough.

YouTube was always worth keeping. Now use it on your terms with SkipBait.
