Video Tagging & Knowledge Management
Learn about video bookmarks, AI summaries, flashcards, and building a personal knowledge database
What is video tagging and how does it work?
Video tagging is the process of marking specific moments in videos with timestamps and notes. It allows you to capture important moments while watching, so you can quickly find and revisit key information later. With modern tools, you can tag any moment with a single click and automatically extract context from the video.
How do AI-powered video summaries help with learning?
AI-powered video summaries analyze the content at the moment you tag and automatically generate concise summaries of key concepts. This helps you understand and retain information better by distilling complex topics into digestible insights, saving hours of manual note-taking.
What are flashcards and how do they improve knowledge retention?
Flashcards are learning tools that use spaced repetition to help you memorize and retain information long-term. When automatically generated from video content, they extract key concepts and create question-answer pairs that you can review regularly, significantly improving knowledge retention compared to passive watching.
How do video bookmarks differ from browser bookmarks?
Video bookmarks (or tags) are timestamp-specific markers within videos, while browser bookmarks only save entire video links. Video bookmarks let you jump directly to the exact moment that matters, complete with context, notes, and AI-generated insights about that specific segment.
What is a knowledge database for videos?
A knowledge database for videos is a searchable collection of all your tagged moments, summaries, and insights from videos you've watched. It transforms passive video watching into an active learning system where you can search, review, and connect ideas across different videos and topics.
How does spaced repetition work with flashcards?
Spaced repetition is a learning technique that shows you flashcards at increasing intervals. Modern tools track your performance on each flashcard and schedule reviews at optimal times to maximize long-term retention while minimizing study time.
About TAGiT
Specific questions about TAGiT features, pricing, and how to use the extension
What is TAGiT?
TAGiT is a Chrome extension that helps you capture and remember important moments from YouTube videos using AI-powered summaries and flashcards. It combines video tagging, AI summarization, and spaced-repetition learning in one tool.
See how to use TAGiT →How does TAGiT work?
While watching YouTube, press Ctrl+T (or Cmd+T on Mac) or click the tag button to capture any moment. TAGiT automatically extracts the transcript at that timestamp, generates an AI summary, and creates flashcards. Everything syncs to your personal dashboard where you can search, review, and export your knowledge.
What makes TAGiT different from other video tools?
TAGiT combines three powerful features in one: instant tagging during playback (no need to pause), automatic AI summarization of content, and spaced-repetition flashcards for long-term retention. Everything is synced to a personal dashboard with search and export capabilities.
Explore use cases →Can I use TAGiT offline?
The extension requires an internet connection since it needs access to YouTube transcripts and AI processing. However, your tags and summaries are stored in the cloud, so you can review them in the dashboard anytime, even without the video.
How much does TAGiT cost?
TAGiT offers a free tier with 25 tags per month, including AI summaries and basic flashcards. Premium plans provide unlimited tagging, summaries, flashcards, and data export features.
View pricing plans →Which platforms does TAGiT support?
TAGiT currently supports YouTube videos through a Chrome browser extension. The dashboard is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works on any device with a modern browser, including desktop, mobile, and tablets.
How do I tag a video moment?
While watching a YouTube video, simply press Alt+T (Windows/Linux) or Opt+T (Mac) at any moment you want to capture. You can also click the TAGiT button that appears on the extension. The tag is created instantly without pausing playback.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. TAGiT uses industry-standard encryption and Row Level Security (RLS) policies to ensure your tags, notes, and learning data are completely private. Only you can access your data, and it's stored securely in the cloud with automatic backups.
Can I export my tags and summaries?
Yes. Premium users can export their entire knowledge database in multiple formats (PDF, Markdown) from the dashboard. This ensures you always own your data and can use it with other tools or for backup purposes.
How does the AI generate summaries?
TAGiT uses advanced AI models to analyze the video transcript around your tagged timestamp. It identifies key concepts, main ideas, and important details, then generates a concise summary that captures the essence of that moment in the video.
Can I share my tags with others?
Yes. You can generate shareable links for individual tags, which include the timestamp, summary, and flashcards. This is perfect for sharing insights with study groups, colleagues, or on social media while respecting content creators' work.
What happens if a video is deleted from YouTube?
Your tags, summaries, and flashcards remain in your TAGiT dashboard even if the original video is deleted. You'll still have access to all the AI-generated content and notes, though the video link will no longer work.
How many tags can I create?
Free users can currently create up to 25 tags per month. Premium users currently have unlimited tagging. Each tag includes the timestamp, transcript excerpt, AI summary, and automatically generated flashcards.
Does TAGiT work with videos without captions?
TAGiT requires video transcripts to generate AI summaries and flashcards. Most YouTube videos have automatic captions. If a video lacks transcripts, you can still create tags with manual notes, but AI features won't be available for that specific tag.
