The point of the video, before you spend an hour on it.
Magpie puts a quiet, sourced breakdown beside any YouTube video or long article. One click, no new tabs, and every claim links straight to the exact second it was said.
How Magpie fits your reading
Designed to get out of your way and deliver verified facts in seconds.
Open any video or article
Navigate to any YouTube video, long-form essay, news publication, or technical documentation.
Click once or hit shortcut
Click the toolbar icon or press Cmd+Shift+K to generate an immediate summary beside the content.
Click citations to verify
Every sentence ends with a timestamp or paragraph badge. Click any point to jump the video or scroll the page straight to that line.
Built for reading, not chatting
Built to verify, not just summarize
Every claim is tied directly to its source so you never have to guess whether an AI hallucinated.
Every point is a link
Each line of the summary ends with the exact timestamp or paragraph it came from. Click it and the video seeks there, or the page scrolls directly to the block. You can check any claim in a second.
Short, Deep, and Quotes
Start with the bullet breakdown. When a topic demands more depth, switch to the Deep tab for full structured analysis or Quotes for highlighted numbers and verbatim excerpts.
Never runs in the background
Nothing summarises on page load. Magpie holds no background page-scraping permissions: access is granted only when you click, saving battery, memory, and tokens.
Popular sources stay free
A video transcript never changes. Once someone requests a summary of a public source, it is cached centrally and delivered instantly to everyone else for free, without counting against daily limits.
