The 80/20 Learning Revolution

Most YouTube videos follow a pattern: 20% of the content contains 80% of the value. Our AI video summarizer helps you find that golden 20%, saving you from watching hours of fluff and filler.

The Truth About Video Content

Let's be honest: Most 20-minute videos could be 4 minutes long. Creators extend videos for algorithms and monetization. But your time is too valuable for that. Here's what's usually padding the runtime:

  • Long intros and outros
  • Repetitive explanations
  • Unnecessary anecdotes
  • Promotional segments
