"In the 1,526 single matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. Now, I have a question for you. What percentage of points do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%."
"It's only a point. Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on a top 10 playlist, that too is just a point. When you are playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. But when it's behind you, it's behind you."
This mindset is really crucial because it frees you to fully commit to the next point, and the next point after that, with intensity, clarity and focus.
The truth is, whatever game you play in life, sometimes you're going to lose. A point, a match, a season, a job.
Not just a summary.
A complete workspace for YouTube.
Summaries are only the start. Samurai Summary keeps every video searchable, quotable and ready for the next time you need it.
What's the biggest mistake you see in early-stage teams?

Summaries aren't enough
Most YouTube AI tools give you a paragraph and stop there. You need to find, check and keep what matters.

Questions, answered
What is Samurai Summary?
A Chrome extension and a web app. With one click on YouTube, a video's full transcript is saved to your library, where you can read it by speaker, get a summary and chapters, chat with AI about it, highlight what matters and search across all your videos.
How does it get the transcript?
The extension reads the captions of the video you're watching, only when you click its button. It works with any video that has captions, including YouTube's automatic ones, in any language.
How can I check that the AI is right?
Every chat answer cites the minute it comes from. Click it and the video plays from that moment, so you can hear it for yourself.
Which browsers does it work with?
The extension runs on Google Chrome. Your library works in any browser, on desktop and mobile, at app.samuraisummary.com.
What happens after the free trial?
Your first 3 videos stay in your library with every feature, forever. To add more videos, upgrade to Pro, monthly or yearly.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from "Manage billing" in the app and you keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for.
Is my library private?
Yes. Your videos, chats and highlights are visible only to you. We never sell your data. Read our privacy policy.
