What you get

The video, but skimmable.

Short bullets (5-10)

The headline points only. For when you want the gist in 30 seconds.

Detailed bullets (15-25)

Sub-arguments and supporting detail. For when you want the substance but not the rambling.

Nested hierarchy

Top-level points with sub-bullets underneath. The structure of the argument, made visible.

Copy-paste friendly

Plain text bullets that paste cleanly into Slack, Notion, Linear, or anywhere else you actually work.

How it works

From video to bullet list in 30 seconds.

01

Paste the link

Any public YouTube video.

02

Pick depth

Short, detailed, or nested. Default to nested for anything over 30 minutes.

03

Copy and go

One click to copy. Paste into wherever your team actually reads things.

Built for

For people who don't read paragraphs anymore.

Product managers

PRDs, competitor analysis, customer interviews — all video, all becomes bulleted in seconds.

Consultants

Client calls become structured bullet notes the moment they end. Bill the hour, not the hour after.

Slack-native teams

If your default communication unit is a bullet, this is the tool that matches it.

Questions

Honest answers.

Will the bullet list sound like me or like a robot?

RecapGPT preserves the speaker's voice in pull-quotes and writes connective prose in a neutral editorial tone. Most users tweak 10-15% before publishing — far less than starting from a raw transcript. If you want a stronger personal voice, edit the connective sentences and leave the quotes alone.

Is it really free?

Yes. You get 3 free conversions per month with no credit card required. Pro is $5.99/mo for unlimited conversions and longer videos. We don't run ads or sell your data.

What format does the output come in?

Markdown, HTML, or plain text — your choice. Works with WordPress, Ghost, Substack, Medium, Notion, Obsidian, and anything else that accepts standard text. No lock-in.

Can I convert someone else's YouTube video?

Yes, if the video is public. The output is your draft, but the underlying ideas belong to the original creator — cite them, link to the video, and don't republish verbatim. Best practice is to use AI drafts as a starting point for your own analysis or commentary, not a substitute for it.
