AI-structured · Human-verified

YouTube is the world's
largest expert knowledge base.
We build contextual experiences.

Bring scattered YouTube knowledge fragments together, freely reorganize them, and turn them into contextual topology structures.
Every node links back to a real video made by a thoughtful creator somewhere in the world,
not an AI-generated hallucination.

Learn a skill

Build a learning path

Turn a broad beginner topic into a step-by-step path with videos for each milestone.

Trace the source

Trace an origin tree

Start with a concept, genre, or movement and see the roots, branches, and turning points behind it.

Rank choices

Build a tier list

Turn tools, channels, ideas, or examples into ranked tiers so the best picks stand out fast.

Understand history

Make a timeline

When events matter, Timeline turns scattered explainers into a sequence you can scan.

You already know this feeling

You watch. You forget.
Nothing sticks.

YouTube has more expert knowledge than any university library. But it's trapped in a format designed for passive consumption. You watch a 2-hour masterclass and remember three things. You save 50 videos and never go back.

The knowledge was there. The structure wasn't.

Knowledge you can see. Insights you can trust.

Forgotten context, rediscovered highlights.

Scattered YouTube collections, neatly organized. Break out of algorithmic knowledge cocoons and see YouTube's whole world.

Every node is a Highlight

Every node links back to the original YouTube video. AI organizes the knowledge, humans verify it. No fabricated citations. No made-up facts. You can always trace the source.

17 knowledge topologies

Timelines, tournament brackets, tier lists, character relationship webs, cycles, detective red-string walls... each reveals a different dimension of the content. Pick the structure that fits the story.

Get the full experience from the Chrome Extension

Instant knowledge snapshots for great videos, real-time Q&A about video content, deep channel organization, fast global recommendations for similar best-in-class videos, audience perspective summaries from comments, Shorts channel organization, and a 3D Big Bang universe interface that takes you through a creator's full channel history.

Share the knowledge contexts you build

The world has a scarce resource: the first-principles thought patterns inside exceptional thinkers' minds. What channel lets people who want to share those valuable knowledge contexts offer them to humanity? We want to build a tool worthy of that starting point.

Start with the guided Gallery

Not all knowledge
looks the same.

Public figures and historical events fit Timeline. Sports competitions fit Tournament. Learning skills fit Pathfinder. The Gallery introduces all 17 topology types, so you can understand what each structure reveals before choosing one for a video.

Common questions

Before you decide

Can I export my topologies?

Not yet. The product is designed to be used inside the extension and Portal — your data stays in your account, accessible across devices (Pro) or locally (Free). If export matters to you, let us know and we'll consider adding it.

Will my YouTube viewing history be read?

No. The Chrome extension only reads the YouTube page you're actively on (chapters, comments, description) when building a topology. We don't store your viewing history, don't track which videos you've watched, and don't ship anything to analytics.

Can I use my own Gemini API key?

Yes — Pro includes BYOK (Bring Your Own Key). Once you bring your own key, AI usage is unlimited and no longer counts against Power Points. The key stays in this browser's localStorage and is sent only with BYOK AI requests to our server proxy (which calls Gemini on your behalf); it is never written to our database.

Is Human Highlight affiliated with Gemini, ChatGPT, or other AI providers?

No. Human Highlight is an independent product. Google Gemini is referenced only as an optional BYOK model provider, and ChatGPT/OpenAI or other tools are mentioned only as comparisons. Human Highlight is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, YouTube, or other model providers.

What if the AI structures something incorrectly?

Every topology node links back to a real YouTube video, so you can always verify it. If the AI places a quote or segment in the wrong place, you can regenerate, change the topology type, or edit manually. In rare cases, AI may miss the best matching video description; when that happens, use video replacement to improve your context.

Can I use it without the Chrome Extension?

Yes, but the full experience is best through the Chrome Extension. It reads YouTube page chapters, comments, and descriptions so you can build and organize richer topologies. Portal features — browsing community topologies, interacting, commenting, and bookmarking — do not require the Extension. Mobile browsers can use Portal too.

How is this different from a ChatGPT YouTube summarizer?

Summarizers give you a block of text — you read it once and forget. Human Highlight gives you 17 visual structures (timeline, tournament bracket, relationship web, cycle...) so you actively choose which topology best fits the content. Every node links back to the original clip; nothing is fabricated. It is a visual thinking tool, not just a text summarizer. The Chrome Extension also gives you a fuller video-summary and context-capture workflow, then saves the context of videos you have watched into your knowledge star map so your YouTube memory is always available to revisit.

What about Notion AI / Obsidian?

Those are blank canvases waiting for your input. Human Highlight is a YouTube-in, structured-topology-out pipeline. Not a replacement for note-taking — a complement. You can drop topology screenshots from the portal into Obsidian as a launchpad for your study material.
