How to ask questions about any online video

Turn any video or podcast you find online into something you can question — with answers that cite the exact moment.

From watching to asking

Whatever you're watching — a YouTube video, a lecture, a webinar, or a podcast — click Silestis and you can ask it questions. "What are the key takeaways?" "What did they decide?" You get an answer with clickable [mm:ss] timestamps, like ChatGPT for any video or podcast you find online. Prefer a link? 1800+ sites are supported by paste.

Answers you can trust and verify

Because every answer is anchored to a timestamp in the transcript, you can jump back and confirm it in the source rather than taking it on faith. The transcript is the substrate; the product is the answers, summaries, and search on top.

See it for YouTube videos, podcasts, and lectures.
