Problem
Long-form video content such as podcasts, panel discussions, and interviews often runs for hours, making it difficult for viewers to find the specific moments that matter to them. Traditional AI summary tools provide only fixed, one-size-fits-all outputs that strip out context and fail to ground claims in verifiable timestamps, forcing users to either commit hours of watching or miss substantive analysis.
Solution
Skim is an AI-powered content analysis platform that extracts structured key points from YouTube videos and news articles, grounding every claim to the exact second or sentence it came from. The platform scores each point for confidence, flags potential bias and conflicts of interest, and provides source attribution so users can verify claims in one click. Skim offers patent-pending depth control through three slices — Short, Medium, and Relaxed — that let users choose how much context they want, with selective playback that replays only the key moments using YouTube's official IFrame Player. The platform analyzes content from major YouTube channels and publishers, providing credibility, bias, originality, and depth assessments for each piece of content. All three slices are computed on demand from the same underlying key-point set and prefetch in parallel, so swapping between depths is instant.
Target Audience
Skim's primary users are information-dense consumers who need to efficiently process long-form YouTube content and news — including professionals, podcast listeners, researchers, and news readers who want to cut through filler without missing substantive analysis.
