Helpolos
Ulm, Germany
What it is
Helpolos turns public YouTube videos into transcripts, summaries, and conversations in one workspace. A video analysis can include a summary, timestamped transcript, mind map, and quiz. Its AI chat answers questions using the transcript and links responses to moments in the video. Transcripts can be searched, copied, or downloaded. Users can provide public YouTube video links or use YouTube search. Helpolos also offers a Transcript API for timestamped transcripts and a Summarizer API for AI-generated summaries; API endpoints require an API key. The Transcript API allows five requests per second per API key, returns plain text, and provides transcripts in the video's original language without translation. The Free plan includes 10 daily credits for summaries, transcripts, mind maps, quizzes, video chat, and PDF, TXT, or copy export. Credits reset at midnight UTC without rollover, and revisiting or reloading an analyzed video uses another credit. Premium plans offer 100 daily credits, extended chat context, priority processing, and priority support. The pricing note lists a starting price of $6/mo (annual); the listed monthly Premium plan is $10.00 per month.
