Question 1

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

You start with 8 free summaries. No credit card needed to start.

Question 2

How do credits work?

Accepted Answer

Every summary 'debits' your balance. An article is 1 credit. YouTube videos cost more because processing up to 3 hours of video involves significant AI resource usage. You get 8 credits for free to start.

Question 3

Does it work on YouTube?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any YouTube video up to 3 hours. Shorts are skipped, they are too short to summarize meaningfully. Long videos run in the background.

Question 4

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

You can. ChatGPT needs you to open it, copy the content, and write a prompt. Fewwords needs a URL. One step instead of five.

Question 5

What are the different summary formats?

Accepted Answer

The app classifies the content first. Research and essays get a structured summary. Specs and how-tos become a data shot. News becomes a decision brief. You don't pick, it picks.

Question 6

Can I share a summary with someone who doesn't have an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every summary has a public link like fewwords.app/few-XYZ. Anyone can read it. You don't even need an account to create summaries, either.
