FAQ

WhyTube? More like WhyBother?

Because reading a structured summary beats rewatching a 40-minute video. WhyTube turns any YouTube URL into a category-optimized AI analysis prompt in about ten seconds.

What if the category is wrong?

Override it. The results screen lets you switch to any of the sub-categories and instantly re-assembles the prompt — no extra API call.

What about videos without captions?

WhyTube requires a transcript. Videos without auto-generated or manual captions return a clear error rather than a broken prompt.

How's it free?

The analysis runs in your chosen LLM — Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. WhyTube only fetches the transcript and builds the prompt, so there is zero AI cost on our end.
