Description
Gistilo is a YouTube video summarizer that helps you skip long videos and get to the point. Paste a YouTube link, choose a summary type, and get a clear summary in seconds, key points rather than a wall of text, so you can catch up without the 1.5x-speed burnout. It is aimed at researchers, students, and creators who have too many videos to watch and not enough time.

A distinguishing feature is optional fact-checking: on any summary, Gistilo can verify key claims and include sources you can review, using authoritative sources such as official documentation, primary research, and reputable news and reference sites, and clearly labeling anything it cannot verify. Summaries support many languages, can be downloaded as PDFs, and are saved to unlimited history so you can revisit them. Gistilo does not store the video itself, only summaries and minimal metadata, and you can delete items or clear history anytime. There is also a Chrome extension that adds a summary panel to YouTube watch pages.
Usage is based on video duration rounded up to the nearest minute. The Free plan summarizes 6 hours of video per month with videos up to 90 minutes and 3 fact-checks per month, while Pro summarizes 80 hours per month with videos up to 5 hours, 100 fact-checks per month, and priority email support. Included monthly hours reset each cycle, and optional top-up packs roll over while a Pro subscription is active. No credit card is required to start.
