Why we built this

You watched one ramen video. Now your whole homepage is ramen.

The more the algorithm learns about you, the smaller the pool gets.

YouTube is an ocean. Your homepage is a pool.

So we built a hammer to break it open.

How did Michael Jordan become a legend?

We take the best videos in the ocean and lay them out as a map you can read.

Common questions

Before you decide

Can I export my topologies?
Not yet. Your maps live in your account. If you need export, let us know.
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.
Is Human Highlight affiliated with Gemini, ChatGPT, or other AI providers?
No. Human Highlight is an independent product. Provider and model names may be mentioned only to identify services used by the product or for comparison. 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 node links to the original video, so you can always check. Regenerate, switch shapes, edit by hand, or swap in a better video.
Can I use it without the Chrome Extension?
For browsing, yes. You can open, comment on and save maps on the web, mobile browsers included. Maps are created in the Chrome extension, which also adds summaries, Q&A and channel tools right on YouTube.
How is this different from a ChatGPT YouTube summarizer?
A summary gives you a paragraph you forget. Here you get a map in a shape that fits the topic, and every node opens the original video.
What about Notion AI / Obsidian?
Those are blank pages waiting for your notes. Human Highlight turns YouTube into a ready-made structure. They work well together.
