Helpolos turns public YouTube videos into transcripts, summaries, and conversations in one workspace. A video analysis can include a summary, transcript, mind map, and quiz. Its AI chat answers questions using the transcript and links responses to moments in the video. Timestamped transcripts can be searched, copied, or downloaded, and users can start from public video links or YouTube search. Helpolos also offers a Transcript API and Summarizer API through endpoints requiring an API key. The Transcript API allows five requests per second per key and returns plain-text transcripts in the video's original language, without translation. The Free plan is 0.00 USD per free and includes 10 credits per day; credits reset at midnight UTC and do not roll over, while revisiting or reloading an analyzed video uses a credit. Premium annual is 6.00 USD per year, billed annually at $72, and Premium monthly is 10.00 USD per month. Both provide 100 daily credits, extended chat context, priority processing, and priority support. The service is available on web and through an API.
