Our verdict

InsightBites adds a right-click option on YouTube that pulls out the main points of a video without you having to watch the whole thing. It's a single-purpose tool built around exactly one task, video summarization, rather than a broader research or note-taking suite. It has just one rating so far, so there's very little outside evidence of how accurate its summaries actually are.
