I think its impact on watch time depends on your goal of that session. When I'm in "looking for a specific answer" mode it does reduce my watch time, but there's plenty of times when I just want to watch youtube–and when I do, it helps me find what to watch, rather than reducing my watch time per se.

Its main differentiator: hover any thumbnail (homepage, search, shorts, etc.) for an instant mini-summary, like Wikipedia link previews. Also includes detailed summaries w/ timestamps, chat w/ video, chat w/ entire channels, and comment summaries.

Hover & Detailed summaries are free if you plug in your own OpenAI API key ("free for nerds" mode).

Aiming to be the best YouTube-specific AI tool. Would love your feedback. No signup needed for free tier/BYOK. If you try it and email me ([redacted]), happy to give you extended Pro access!
