Summary

Allie K. Miller interviews Greg Brockman, president and co-founder of OpenAI, about how the best engineers and leaders work in the age of AI. Brockman shares his personal workflow of constant context switching, examples of vibe coding with Codex, and how small AI-driven friction removals compound into productivity gains. He advises founders to build now and focus on vertical AI with deep domain expertise, discusses proactive agents like ChatGPT Pulse, and closes with the message that AI adoption will soon be as essential as computers, with competitive advantage coming from domain knowledge and human relationships.

About this tool

Paste a link to a YouTube video and get its words as text: a timestamped transcript you can read, search and download, plus a short summary, the key points and chapters. When the video has captions they are used directly, which takes seconds. When it has none, the audio is transcribed with Whisper.

How it works

  1. Copy the video's link from the address bar or the Share button.
  2. Paste it into the box and press Transcribe.
  3. Read the summary and notes, open the full transcript, or download it as text, Markdown or subtitles.

What you get

  • The full transcript, with timestamps that jump to that moment in the video
  • A summary, key points and chapters
  • Downloads: .txt, .md, and .srt or .vtt subtitles
  • A page you can share, which opens instantly for the next person

What it will not do

  • Audio that has to be transcribed is capped at 90 minutes. Videos with captions can run longer.
  • One video or episode per link for free. Whole YouTube playlists are a paid workspace feature; channels and live streams are not supported.
  • Private, members-only and age-restricted videos cannot be fetched.
  • Free transcripts are timestamped paragraphs. Speaker labels (who said what) are a paid workspace feature.

Questions

How do I get the transcript of a YouTube video?

Paste the video's link into the box above and press Transcribe. If the video has captions, the transcript is ready in a few seconds; if not, the audio is transcribed, which takes about a minute for every 15 to 20 minutes of video.

Can I download the transcript?

Yes: as plain text, as Markdown with the summary and notes, or as SRT and VTT subtitle files with timestamps.

How is this different from YouTube's own 'Show transcript'?

YouTube shows a transcript only for videos that have captions, and only inside YouTube. Blumify also works when a video has no captions, adds a summary, key points and chapters, and lets you download the text as TXT, Markdown, SRT or VTT.

Can I get the transcript in another language?

The transcript is in the language spoken in the video. Signed in, you can have the title, summary, key points and chapters translated into 20 languages; that uses a few AI credits, and a free account starts with 30.

Is there an API?

Yes. Scripts and automation tools can use the REST API with a personal token, and AI apps such as Claude can connect through the MCP server. See the developer page at blumify.io/developers.

What if the video or episode has no captions?

We transcribe the audio. A video with captions takes seconds; without them, its audio is transcribed with Whisper, which takes about a minute for every 15 to 20 minutes, up to 90 minutes for free. Podcast episodes are always transcribed from their audio.

Is it really free?

Free to start, with no card. A free account comes with 30 AI credits, and 30 more every month: enough for about 10 videos with captions, or 2.5 hours of Apple Podcasts or Spotify audio, as public transcripts. Reading transcript pages is free for everyone. For more, Blumify Unlimited (US$9.99 a month, or US$59.99 a year) covers transcripts, notes, questions and translations without counting credits: videos with captions without a limit, and 50 hours of audio a month at full speed, then up to 1 hour a day.

Who can see my transcript?

Transcripts made from a link here are public: each gets a page with its summary and notes, so a link someone else already transcribed opens instantly, free. To keep a transcript to yourself, make it in your private workspace instead (it uses the same AI credits).

How accurate is it?

We measured it on podcasts, talks and earnings calls with human transcripts: transcripts on our standard speech model were 87.5% accurate, and the most accurate model we tested reached 90.1% (with bought credits or Unlimited, you can choose it for a private transcript). Videos with captions use them, and YouTube's automatic captions were 94.3% accurate. Full results: blumify.io/accuracy. The summary and notes are written by AI from the transcript, so check anything important against the recording.
