YouTube Digest English | 简体中文 Turn every YouTube video into a resource for deep learning. YouTube Digest brings transcripts, bilingual translation, AI overviews, explanations, and timestamped notes into one Chrome side panel, so you can study ideas and language without losing your place. Turn captions into a readable, searchable learning resource. Learn languages with the original transcript, a Simplified Chinese translation, or an aligned bilingual view. Build understanding with an AI overview, chapters, key quotes, and selected-text explanations. Navigate long videos by clicking timestamps in the transcript, overview, or notes. Save polished timestamped notes for later study. Keep control of your data with your own API keys, local Chrome storage, and no analytics or telemetry. YouTube Digest is a bring-your-own-key project installed locally from GitHub. It is not available through the Chrome Web Store, does not include API credits, and does not run a developer-operated server. New in v1.2.0 Search transcript words or phrases and move through every match. Use one Original, Chinese, or bilingual setting across Transcript, Overview, and Notes.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
