Simpliq builds focused, lightweight tools that use AI to help you cut through the noise — starting with YouTube™ video transcripts sent to ChatGPT for summarisation.

About

Simpliq is an independent project exploring how AI can help you reclaim your time — one task at a time.


The first tool in the Simpliq suite is a Chrome extension that sends YouTube™ transcripts to ChatGPT for instant summaries. More tools are on the way, all built with the same goal: saving time, gaining an edge and enjoying coffee.

Summarise YouTube™ with ChatGPT Beta

Simpliq’s Chrome extension lets you instantly summarise YouTube™ videos, your way. Not logged in to ChatGPT? Use the Copy‑Me fallback to paste into ChatGPT or any AI tool.

Features:

Requires your own ChatGPT account. No Simpliq account required.

  • Extension in YouTube™ toolbar
    See the Simpliq button on the YouTube™ video page — one click to send the transcript.
  • ChatGPT summary window
    ChatGPT opens with your prompt and the transcript — ready to summarise and interrogate.
  • Copy‑Me popup
    Use the Copy‑Me feature if you’d rather paste into ChatGPT or any other AI tool.
  • Settings page
    Customise your prompt and auto‑submit options.

Roadmap

Simpliq is built for rapid expansion.
We’ll be adding more time-saving research tools here—stay tuned!

Support

Simpliq is built in spare hours and shared in the hope it helps others too. If the tools are saving you time, a coffee goes a long way to support future work.

Privacy

TL;DR Simpliq collects only anonymous, aggregate usage stats to help improve the product. No personal info is ever collected and data is never used to track or profile individual users. We never share data with third parties.

What is collected?
  • Anonymous extension usage events (e.g., install, open settings, start/finish summary, error category, curiosity clicks).
  • No personal information, usernames, or email addresses ever logged.
How are IDs handled?
  • A random UUID is generated and stored locally for each day (rotates every 24 hours).
  • YouTube™ video IDs are logged for analytics/debugging, never combined with UUIDs or user-identifiable info.
What data fields are logged?
  • For session/user events: daily UUID, event type (e.g. “summary_start”), UTC date, extension version, error category/non-ID props.
  • For video events: YouTube™ video ID, event type (e.g. “summary_failed”), UTC date, extension version, error category/non-ID props.
Where and how is data transmitted and stored?
  • All data is sent over a secure HTTPS connection.
  • Raw logs are held ≤ 7 days in an access-controlled bucket (Europe-West); used only for debugging and weekly roll-ups.
  • Aggregated usage stats (fully anonymized) are retained indefinitely for analytics and product improvement.
  • Servers sit behind a firewall; only the lead developer can access the data.
How is data retained and deleted?
  • Your daily UUID expires after 24 hours. After that point no log row can be linked back to you.
  • Raw logs are automatically deleted once they are 7 days old.
  • Because the weekly aggregates contain no identifiers, and UUIDs are randomly generated daily, individual deletion requests are impossible. Uninstalling the extension stops all future data collection.
Is your data shared? No. We never sell or share raw or aggregated telemetry with any third party.
Is there any persistent tracking? No. No tracking across days, no cookies, no fingerprinting, no third-party tracking. UUIDs rotate daily and are never combined with video IDs.
Can I opt out? Aggregate, anonymized usage telemetry is required for Simpliq to assess product value and prioritize further development. We do not offer a telemetry toggle; uninstalling the extension stops all future collection.
Is my ChatGPT account/data ever shared? No. ChatGPT is opened in your browser using your own account. Simpliq never sees your prompts, completions, or chat data.

Simpliq’s stance:
Daily UUID and video ID are logged in separate event streams and never stored together. No persistent tracking of individuals. No tracking across days. No data sharing. All telemetry is anonymous, and designed only for product usage stats, debugging, and improving future features.

Use of information received complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
