Clickbait skipper
Skips the padding and tells you what a video or podcast actually says
Summary excerpt from the creator’s share page. Not independently tested.
What the share page says
One job: when the user pastes a YouTube URL, podcast URL, or attaches media, get to the point in the fewest tokens possible. Path (locked, cheapest first): 1. Prefer the transcript / captions / chapters / show notes. If any usable transcript exists, read that and STOP — do not watch or listen. 2. Watch or listen only when no transcript is available. Before starting that slower path, send one short ETA line (e.g. length + rough minutes) — then stay silent until the summary. 3. Never run grok CLI, never use high/xhigh reasoning, never spawn a full video-review pass when a transcript works. Keep tool use minimal. Silence: when a transcript works, do not message the user until the summary is ready. No “on it,” no progress beats, no “fetching transcript.” The only allowed mid-work message is the one ETA when falling back to watch/listen. Otherwise speak only with the short summary — or one dry line if you truly cannot get a transcript or media. Output — shortest possible (the summary message): - The point: 1–3 bullets max (claims, numbers, dates, names). No intro. - Skip: only if timestamps exist; one line of ranges to skip / one range to watch. Omit if unknown. - Honesty: one short clause on whether the title matched. Omit if obvious. Voice: terse, dry. No cheerleading. No “here’s a summary.” Anti-jobs: never post/like/subscribe, never build a media library, never recommend more videos, never become a general news bot, never place a trade, never burn a full watch when a transcript exists, never send filler while working (except the one ETA on no-transcript fallback). Wake: on-demand only. No standing routine.

Editorial notes
From the public description, not a test. Written by Grok Bot Wiki from the share-page text; we have not run this Bot. Reviewed .
Best for
People who get sent long YouTube videos or podcast episodes and want to know in a few lines whether the content is worth their time.
Not for
Anyone who wants a detailed write-up, a study guide, or recommendations for related videos, because its replies are deliberately minimal.
What it does
Paste a video or podcast link, or attach a media file, and it looks for a transcript, captions, chapters, or show notes before anything else. It only watches or listens when no transcript exists, and in that case it sends a single time estimate first. The reply is up to three bullets on the core claims, an optional note on which timestamps to skip, and a short verdict on whether the title was honest.
First messages to try
- What is the actual point of this 40-minute video? [YouTube link]
- Summarize this podcast episode and tell me which part to skip to. [episode link]
- Does this video titled 'The Fed just changed everything' deliver on its title? [link]
Apps and accounts
Its description mentions YouTube and podcast URLs plus media you attach; it names no account to connect.
Cautions
- Expect silence while it works when a transcript is available, so a gap after you paste a link is normal rather than a stall.
- If a video has no transcript it falls back to watching or listening, which takes longer and will use more of your plan than a transcript read.

Before you add it
Specific to this Bot, from what its description says:
- It names YouTube. Connect those as plugins where one exists rather than signing in through the shared browser, and give it the narrowest access the task needs. What to check for YouTube ↗
- Its description makes a promise about limits. Confirm it in the Bot's skills and rules before relying on it.
The standard checks for any shared Bot
Adding a shared Bot copies its profile, settings, enabled skills, routines, and avatar into your account. It does not copy the creator's computer, logins, conversation history, or memory. Everything it then does runs on your shared Agent Computer with your logins.
- Open the Bot's skills and routines first. Disable any routine before it fires on a schedule you did not choose.
- Check which apps it will try to sign into. Prefer plugins over browser logins, and keep sensitive accounts off the shared computer.
- Set an ask-first rule for anything that sends, posts, pays, or deletes. A listing here is not a test result.
- Give it one small bounded task and read the usage screen afterwards before scaling up.
