Youtube Chapters Chrome Extension

Youtubechapters.app is used by thousands of people every month, this repo contains a Chrome extension that helps you quickly generate a summary. It'll take you to by youtube chapters page. The summary provides a overview of the video's content, allowing you to understand the main points without watching the entire video. You can copy the summary, copy only the chapters (if you leave it as a comment you'll get links), and you can share the summary link as well.

Also! If you want to use your own openai key call this for free.
