Totally dead. Broken extension.
Doesn't load at all.
Stuck on loading spinner forever since the last YouTube layout update. Waste of time.
Outdated code. Needs an immediate rewrite or removal.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
A button in the lower-right corner of YouTube pages opens the AI chat window instantly, with no need to leave the video.
A popup window provides a dedicated conversation area for talking to the AI language model while you watch.
Videos you engage with appear as thumbnail-and-title cards with a "Chat with me?" action and a "Remove" option so you control the list.
The video list is retained even after you close the popup or refresh the page, so past interactions stay within reach.
The extension restyles YouTube pages and its own popup so the chat surface blends into the page you are already using.
YouTubeGPT is a browser add-on for Chrome that keeps an AI chat assistant one click away while you browse YouTube. Once installed, a button appears in the lower-right corner of YouTube pages. Clicking it opens a popup window with a chat interface, so you can ask questions and discuss ideas without switching tabs to a separate chatbot site.
The extension also keeps track of the videos you have interacted with. Each entry in the popup list shows a thumbnail and title, plus a "Chat with me?" button to launch a conversation about that video and a "Remove" button to clear it. Your list survives closing the popup or refreshing the page, and the extension remembers the videos you engaged with between sessions, which makes it easy to come back to an ongoing thread.
Styling is part of the experience: the extension restyles YouTube pages and the popup so the added chat surface feels integrated rather than bolted on. It is a lightweight way to explore what conversational AI can do inside the video-watching workflow. Note that this is a community project from an independent developer (published under the name automatemylife00), not an official YouTube or OpenAI product, and the listing shows its most recent update in July 2023.
Open the chat next to an educational video and ask follow-up questions about the topic without leaving the page.
Collect relevant videos into the popup list and return to any of them later to continue a conversation with the model.
Watch a video in your niche and use the chat panel to brainstorm angles, hooks and talking points in the moment.
Keep a language model open while watching foreign-language content to ask for explanations and phrasing help.
