Built because I needed it

I have a confession: I can't focus through long articles.

And I definitely can't sit through 2-hour long videos. My attention span is short, and my browser is a graveyard of open tabs I never actually read. We both know that 'later' never comes.

For a year, my workflow was broken. Every time I wanted to extract the essence of a video, I had to hunt for a transcript tool, copy a wall of text, and paste it into ChatGPT with unreliable prompts. It worked, but it felt like too much friction just to save time.

In early 2025, I built a first version called Key-Insights. At the time, AI models weren't capable of processing video natively, so I had to rely on brittle transcription scrapers that YouTube eventually blocked. I hit a technical dead end and quit.

By early 2026, the technology had caught up. New models like the Gemini 3 series became capable of watching and understanding video content directly. I rebuilt everything from scratch to leverage this new architecture and called it Fewwords.

To make this work, I built three distinct, high-fidelity pipelines: one for articles, one for short videos, and a dedicated one for long-form content up to 3 hours. Reddit support is coming next.
