LongCut is a Next.js web application that turns long-form YouTube videos into a structured learning workspace with AI-generated highlight reels, timestamped transcript-grounded chat, and a personal notes dashboard. It uses multiple LLM provider adapters (MiniMax, Grok, Gemini), YouTube transcript extraction, and Supabase for auth, persistence, and rate limiting.

Use cases

  • summarize hour-long youtube videos quickly
  • chat with a video transcript and get timestamp citations
  • generate highlight reels from long lectures
  • take and review notes across multiple videos
  • extract youtube transcripts for free
  • ask questions about a video and jump to the answer moment

When to choose

  • you want to learn from long YouTube videos without watching them in full
  • you need timestamped, transcript-grounded Q&A over video content
  • you want a self-hostable AI video study tool with notes and history

When to avoid

  • you need to process videos outside of YouTube
  • you need offline or local-only processing without LLM API keys
  • you need to analyze private or caption-less videos
