FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need technical skills or an OpenAI key?

Setup is simple - if you can chat with AI, you can use Too Long; Didn't View. Using your own API key just means you only pay for what you use, keeping costs low.

Will it actually work for long videos or podcasts?

Yes. Every answer comes with clickable timestamps, so you can verify or dive deeper right away.

How much does it cost to use AI?

You control the cost - your OpenAI key is pay-per-use. Typical usage costs are barely a few dollars per month, far cheaper than subscription-based alternatives.

What platforms does it support?

Windows and Mac - built for speed, reliability, and long-form video workflows, not fragile browser extensions.
