# ReadTube

> ReadTube tackles a very modern problem: you subscribe to more YouTube channels than you could ever actually watch. It transcribes the videos in your subscriptions and uses AI to turn them into a readable, searchable feed, complete with one-line headlines, short summaries and fuller narrative rewrites, so a 20-minute video becomes a five-minute read. The framing that makes it click is treating every channel like an email inbox you can triage. You can star items, save them for later, archive what you do not need, and run semantic search across everything you follow, including Bilibili as well as YouTube. For people who use video as an information source rather than entertainment, that is a genuinely useful inversion. It will not replace watching something you actually want to see, and summaries always lose nuance. But as a way to keep up with a firehose of talking-head and tutorial content without sinking hours into it, ReadTube is the kind of quietly practical AI tool that earns a place in a daily routine.
