AskVideo.ai Pricing: Free, Premium, Pro & Business Plans — 2026 Guide

Chat With Any YouTube Video

Paste any public YouTube URL and ask questions in plain language. AskVideo processes the video and returns instant answers drawn from the video's transcript, so you never have to scrub through hours of content to find one specific point.

Get the answer you need in seconds instead of rewinding and replaying.

Answers With Exact Timestamps

Every response is tied back to the moment in the video it came from. In the on-site demo, answers to a lecture question are cited at [4:23], [12:07] and [28:45], and you can ask follow-ups like "tell me more about the retention strategy" to dig deeper into that same point.

Verify every claim at its source and quote videos with confidence.

Processed In Seconds

The workflow is three steps: paste a YouTube URL, let the AI transcribe and index the content, then ask anything. The site states most videos are processed within 30-60 seconds, with an on-screen progress state showing transcription and indexing.

Turn a 30-minute manual scrub into roughly 30 seconds of waiting.

Command Line Interface

A CLI is available for people who prefer the terminal. Install it globally via npm with 'npm install -g askvideo', log in with your API key, then run 'askvideo chat' against any YouTube URL. It supports interactive chat mode and returns timestamps and summaries with no browser required.

Query videos from your terminal and fold them into your existing workflow.

Collections: Channels & Playlists

On Pro and Business plans you can import an entire YouTube playlist or channel as a collection and chat across all of its videos at once. Pro supports up to 2 collections, while Business removes the collection limit and adds cross-video AI search.

Ask one question across a whole course, channel or content library.

Embeddable Chatbot & Team Plans

Pro lets you embed the chatbot widget on your own site, and Business adds priority processing and dedicated support for teams and large content libraries. Team licensing and volume discounts are available by contacting support.

Academic Learning

Transform lectures into interactive Q&A sessions. Ask any question about a lecture video and get instant, timestamped answers instead of scrubbing through hours of content. The homepage demo shows a 1.5-hour lecture where a student asks 'What are the 3 main points from this lecture?' and receives a concise summary with exact timestamps like [4:23], [12:07], and [28:45].

Tutorial & How-To

Never miss a step in tutorials. Get instant clarification on any procedure by asking questions about the video. The tool indexes the full transcript, so you can ask 'Tell me more about the retention strategy' and it will pull the relevant section with a timestamp, making it easy to follow along without rewinding.

Business & Professional

The testimonial from a Training Manager highlights how teams use AskVideo.ai to quickly find specific procedures and best practices in training videos.
