Ortus

Ortus is a free Chrome extension designed to enhance the learning experience from YouTube videos by acting as an AI companion. It enables users to ask questions and obtain summaries without pausing or leaving the video, making the educational content more accessible and efficient. The extension supports specific educational YouTube channels such as Lex Fridman, Huberman Lab, and Veritasium, providing a tailored learning experience.

Ortus operates through a simple four-step process: users open a supported YouTube channel, ask questions in the extension sidebar to receive timestamps and definitions, obtain auto-generated summaries of key points, and copy these insights directly into Notion for organized note-taking. This seamless integration of learning and note-taking makes Ortus an invaluable tool for students, lifelong learners, and anyone consuming educational content on YouTube.
