The problem

You watch great videos… then forget most of it

Tutorials and lectures are dense. Re-watching is slow. Notes are inconsistent. What you actually need is retrieval practice — being tested on the content so your brain stores it.

AIt feels fasterYour answer
BIt forces retrieval, strengthening memoryCorrect

Answer: B

Active recall forces your brain to retrieve information, which strengthens memory traces and reveals gaps. Re-watching can feel familiar without proving you can actually recall the idea.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on any YouTube video?

It works best when a transcript or captions are available. If a transcript isn’t available, we’ll guide you to alternatives (and transcription may be a paid feature later).

Can I use playlists or course series?

Not in the first version. The MVP focuses on single videos for speed and quality. Playlists are a top roadmap item.

Will you store my links or data?

For the MVP waitlist, we store only what you submit (email + optional YouTube link) to understand demand. Later, you’ll be able to control history and retention.

What kind of questions will it generate?

A mix: definitions, key takeaways, step-by-step checks, and applied questions—so it’s not just trivia.
