TubeOnAI Reviews

I saw this app when it first appeared on AppSumo and ignored it, as the name gave me the impression it only summarised YouTube videos.

It does that and so much more. It manages to consolidate most social media platforms, PDFs, notes, and other media into one workflow. What I really like is that it allows me to bring all my disparate sources of information into a single place.

While there are other apps that attempt to do the same thing, this one works best for me because it is the most intuitive and has a very low learning curve.

I use it for curated learning g. Early days but it’s a game chant for that as you have many angles to learn from.

Quick AppSumo-style review of TubeOn.ai.
If you work with YouTube content — as a coach, creator, or repurposer — this one’s worth a look. I went in skeptical (there are a LOT of AI tools out there), but I was pleasantly surprised.
Here's a video of my walk thru https://youtu.be/m6pZc05pnUA

What is TubeOn.ai?

- A content-understanding and repurposing tool. Paste a YouTube URL (or upload a PDF/blog/audio) and it summarizes the video, lets you ask questions about the content, and helps you repurpose it into worksheets, flashcards, mind maps, and other assets.

My use case (how I actually used it)

- I coach clients and often want short, actionable materials based on longer videos.

- Workflow I used: paste YouTube URL → get automated summary → ask follow-up questions to clarify or expand → generate a client-ready worksheet based on the summary.

- Result: quick, usable handouts to use in sessions without rewatching the entire video.

Key features I liked

- Fast, accurate summaries from YouTube links.

- Conversational Q&A on the content (ask the AI follow-up questions about the video).

- Repurposing templates: worksheets, flashcards, mind maps, and other interactive assets in the higher tiers.

- Collections: group multiple videos and have the AI extract common themes, pattern insights, or consolidated summaries — great when building a course or a resource pack.

- Upload support for PDFs/blogs if you’re not only working with YouTube.

Pricing / tiers (what I tried)

- Tier 2: 10,000 credits/month — solid for moderate use. I ran dozens of summaries and used under 3,000 credits.

- Tier 3: 60,000 credits/month + interactive features (flashcards, mind maps, interactive content). Big jump in price but adds value if you need those extras constantly.

What worked well

- Summaries are useful, concise and saved me lots of time.

- The Q&A about a video is a real time-saver for extracting talking points and action steps.

- Collections are powerful for course-building or content research.

- Credit usage is reasonable — Tier 2 will be more than enough for many users.

What could be better (cons / bugs / improvement requests)

- Price gap: big jump between Tier 2 and Tier 3. A middle tier with some interactive features would be ideal.

- Flashcards currently download as PDF or PowerPoint — defeats interactivity. The dev team says they’re working on embeddable/exportable formats, which would fix this.

- Occasional glitches: once or twice summaries came out in the wrong language or failed (seemed tied to system updates). Not frequent, but worth noting.

Bottom line / who should buy

- If you repurpose videos, coach, create course content, or research YouTube content, TubeOn.ai saves time and helps you produce ready-to-use assets quickly.

- For most AppSumo-style buyers, Tier 2 is the sweet spot — affordable credits, great core features.

- Go Tier 3 only if you need heavy volume and the interactive exports right away.

Rating: 4.5 / 5 — excellent tool with clear value and a couple of areas to tighten up.

If you want a tool to turn YouTube videos into summaries, worksheets, and repurposed teaching materials fast, TubeOn.ai is definitely worth checking out on AppSumo.

Everything is working - plenty of llm , the UI is good , this tool is a time saver to manage content repurpose with youtube !

The concept of an auto summary tool for youtube was nice, but it was really buggy. I returned ultimately because tubeonai would put the summary in another language even tho english was selected.

Also, majority of the time i could only get the simple summary to work. Around half the time i was able to get comprehensive summary to work. I only got detailed summary to work once. Detailed summary mostly never worked.

I also frequently got errors where it wouldn't summarize in some cases.

It's not rocket science to learn the tool. It is self explanatory. The problem is the tool has a lot of issues with being buggy for what i mentioned above. Ultimately that caused me to return it but i hope the company fixes the backend because if they could fix that it could be a promising tool.
