Summify
Summify turns videos, podcasts, PDFs, articles, and voice notes into searchable knowledge pods you can query with citations. It still summarizes YouTube with TL;DR takeaways and timestamps, but the core pitch now is one curated library that follows you across Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible AI instead of re-uploading the same files to every chat window.
Generic chatbots answer from the open web. Summify indexes your trusted sources, groups them into scoped pods by client or project, and exposes that context through built-in AI chat or MCP connections with daily limits on paid tiers. That makes it closer to a personal RAG layer than a single-purpose YouTube summarizer, though capture tools for PDFs, voice notes, and 130-plus languages remain central.
Researchers, content creators, consultants, and students are the stated audience. The site reports 50,000 plus users and 30 million minutes summarized. Pro and Max plans connect pods to external AI tools, while Starter focuses on summaries and uploads with tighter transcription and pod caps.
Starter plan includes 800 transcription minutes per month and 5 knowledge pods at $8 per month
Pro plan offers 1,800 minutes, 20 pods, and 100 MCP connections per day at $16 per month
Max plan includes 8,000 minutes, unlimited pods, and 300 MCP connections per day at $33 per month
Supports 11 summary styles including Deep Dive, Q&A, Academic, Blog, and Action List formats
Translates and summarizes content in 130 plus languages with automatic detection
MCP integration connects pods to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, and other compatible AI tools
