AI video summarizer

Upload a video file. Endless transcribes it, then the agent writes a summary with the key points, their timestamps and quotes worth keeping.

Transcripts
Transcribe the video I attached, onboarding-webinar-new-dashboard.mp4, then summarize it: a two-sentence overview, the key points with timestamps, and three direct quotes worth keeping with their timestamps.

The webinar walks customers through the new dashboard and explains how reports and alerts change. Most questions at the end were about exporting old reports.

  • 06:10 Reports are now built from saved views, not from templates.
  • 21:45 Alerts can go to email or to a team channel, set per report.
  • 44:20 Old reports stay available for 90 days and can be exported as CSV.
  • Quote at 12:03: "If you only change one setting today, make it the default date range."

What is an AI video summarizer?

An AI video summarizer tells you what a video says without making you watch all of it. You get the main point, the key points in order and the moments worth watching, each with a timestamp so you can jump to the source and check it.

Many videos never reach a public platform: a recorded webinar, a training session, a lecture, a product demo, a conference talk you downloaded. Link-based summarizers cannot read them. A summarizer for files works from the video itself, so it handles recordings that are private or that only exist on your computer.

Endless transcribes the video file you upload with speakers and timestamps and saves the transcript in your workspace's Transcripts section. The agent then writes the summary with key points, timestamps and direct quotes. Ask follow-up questions in the same chat, such as what was said about pricing. For public YouTube videos, use the YouTube video summarizer with a link instead.

How it works

  1. 01

    Choose the video

    Pick a video file from your computer, such as an MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM. Files can be up to 2 GB.

  2. 02

    Sign in and attach the file again

    Create a free Endless account or sign in. Your workspace chat opens with the prompt already written. The file cannot travel from this page to the app, so attach it again in the chat and send.

  3. 03

    Read the summary and ask questions

    The agent saves the transcript in Transcripts, then writes the overview, key points with timestamps and quotes. Ask follow-up questions or for another format in the same chat.

What people use it for

  1. 01

    Catch up on recorded webinars

    Summarize a webinar or all-hands recording you missed and read the key points in a few minutes. The timestamps show which parts to watch if you need the details, so you do not have to play the whole recording.

  2. 02

    Study lectures and courses

    Turn a recorded lecture or course video into study notes with the topics in order and the timestamp of each. Ask the agent to explain a section, list the terms to learn or write practice questions from what the teacher covered.

  3. 03

    Summarize training videos

    Get the steps of a training or onboarding video as a written checklist with timestamps. New team members read the checklist and watch only the parts they need. Save it to a project with the rest of the onboarding material.

  4. 04

    Review product demos

    Summarize a recorded demo to list the features shown, the questions asked and the answers given. Ask the agent which parts to cut for a shorter version, with the timestamps of each.

  5. 05

    Brief your team on a talk

    Summarize a conference talk you recorded or downloaded and share it with your workspace. Everyone gets the same key points and quotes, and anyone can ask the agent their own questions without watching the video.

  6. 06

    Turn a video into written content

    Ask the agent to rewrite the video as a blog post, a newsletter section or a thread, using the speaker's words where they matter. Every quote comes from the transcript, so you can check it before you publish.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is the AI video summarizer free?

    You can start free. Create a free Endless account and the Free plan gives your workspace 100 credits when you create it and 50 credits every week. Each summary spends credits from that balance. Paid plans add more credits if you summarize videos often.

  • How much does it cost to summarize a video?

    Uploaded videos are transcribed at high quality, which costs 1 credit per minute of video, so a 20-minute video costs 20 credits to transcribe. The agent's summary also spends credits. The chat shows what each run spent.

  • What video files can I upload?

    Video files such as MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, M4V and WMV, and audio files too. Each file can be up to 2 GB. For a public YouTube video, use the YouTube video summarizer and paste the link instead of uploading.

  • Does it summarize what is shown on screen?

    The summary is built from what is said in the video. If the important part is on screen, such as slides or a demo with little narration, tell the agent and ask it to look at the video as well.

  • Can I ask questions about the video?

    Yes. After the summary, ask anything in the same chat, such as what the speaker said about a topic or which part covers a step. The agent answers from the transcript and gives the timestamp, so you can check it in the video.

  • Can I summarize a video in another language?

    Yes. Endless detects the language of the video, and the agent can write the summary in another language. Ask for it in the prompt, for example by adding that you want the summary in English.

  • Are my uploaded videos private?

    Yes. Files you upload and their transcripts live in your workspace and are private by default. You choose whether to share them with teammates. Endless does not publish your videos anywhere.
