Save videos to read, not watch.

No. KopyFeed only needs the URL — the AI analysis runs server-side using Google's Gemini video understanding. You can copy a YouTube link from anywhere (a tweet, a Slack message, a Reddit comment), close the source, and the video is still saved and analyzed in your feed. You don't have to play the video, you don't have to be on the YouTube tab, and you don't even need YouTube to load.

Yes. Shorts URLs (youtube.com/shorts/<id>) are detected like any other YouTube URL, saved with thumbnail and channel metadata, and routed to the same analysis pipeline. Full Video Analysis works well on Shorts because they're under a minute — analysis costs typically 1 credit each. Transcript mode also works when the Short has captions.

Transcript Analysis falls back to author-provided chapter timestamps from the video description when captions are unavailable (KopyFeed parses common formats like "MM:SS – Title" or "[HH:MM:SS] Title"). Full Video Analysis works regardless of captions because Gemini watches the actual video. For uncaptioned long-form videos (lectures, music, no-CC content), Full Video mode on Pro is the most reliable option.

Transcript Analysis has no practical length limit — it operates on the caption text and author timestamps. Full Video Analysis is limited by Gemini's context window: roughly 1 hour at default resolution, up to 3 hours at the lower resolution KopyFeed automatically falls back to for long videos. For ultra-long content (multi-hour podcasts, full lecture series), transcript mode is the right choice and is unlimited.

No. KopyFeed analyzes videos via their public YouTube URL — Gemini's video understanding requires the video to be publicly accessible. Private videos, unlisted videos shared only to specific accounts, members-only content behind a paywall, and videos that require sign-in (age-restricted, regional blocks) will save with the URL and thumbnail but the AI analysis will fail. The clip itself still gets stored in your feed.

Powered by Google Gemini, which handles 100+ languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Arabic, Hindi, Russian, and most European, Asian, and Latin American scripts. Transcript Analysis works in whatever language the captions are in. Full Video Analysis can understand and analyze videos in any of those languages and will produce summaries in the same language as the video content.

Those tools all require you to manually paste each URL into a separate interface — fine for occasional use, painful for the 5-10 videos a research-heavy day produces. KopyFeed runs automatically on every YouTube URL you copy, with no extra step. The analysis lives inside your existing clipboard feed alongside everything else you've saved (links, screenshots, code), is searchable by what was said in the video, and the credit-pool pricing (1,500/mo on Advanced, 6,000 on Pro) is usually cheaper than per-video tools for active users. Standalone tools are fine; KopyFeed is built for people who treat YouTube as a research source, not entertainment.
