There is more good video than you will ever have time to watch.
One researcher you follow might have four hundred hours on YouTube. A conference you care about posts its entire program, then does it again the next year. The talks are free and often excellent. The arithmetic is the problem. At some point the watching costs more than the knowing is worth, and the knowledge just sits there, locked inside footage nobody has the weeks to get through.
TubeRefinery is our answer to that arithmetic. You paste a channel, a playlist, or a few videos. We read the transcripts, pull out what each one actually claims, and hand back a single report you can read in an afternoon.
The part we care most about is what happens in between. We do not write you a summary. Summaries blur, and a blurred version of a careful argument is worse than useless, because it sounds authoritative while quietly dropping the caveats. Instead the refinery breaks each video into the specific points it makes and restates every one. Then it checks those points against each other across everything you gave it. Agreements line up. Contradictions get flagged. The one speaker who disagrees with the other nine stops being a needle in a haystack.
Every point in the report links back to the second it was spoken. If a line surprises you, one click drops you at that exact moment in the original video. You never have to take the report's word for anything, which is the only honest way to build a tool like this.
You can try it for nothing. Paste one short video and get a real report back, not a teaser with the good parts removed. When you want the full thing on a larger corpus, there is a one-time price based on how many hours of video it holds, shown before you order. No subscription, no account, no card to look at a quote.
This blog is where we will write about how the refinery works, the decisions behind it, and the things it refuses to do. First up, soon: why we spend real compute putting a timestamp on every single point, and why we would rather ship nothing than ship a confident sentence we cannot trace.
Paste something and see what comes back.
