“Summarize this video.”
A summary of the video, not the caption
The point, the structure and the key moments — from what's said and what's shown, so nothing is invented from the title.
Chat with social media
Chat with any TikTok, Reel or YouTube video.
Paste the link and ask anything. Rescroll watches the video — what's said and what's on screen — so the answers come from the video, not a guess from the caption.
Reads everything
Reads what ChatGPT can't.
Drop a URL. The AI watches every video you save — reads the on-screen text, transcribes the audio, takes in every slide. The others don't even open it.

In the Rescroll column, a checkmark means it watches the video, transcribes the audio, and reads the on-screen text — not just the caption. X/Twitter threads are read as text.
What you can ask
Ask the video anything. Then ask for your version.
Each of these is one message in the chat, answered from the video itself.
“What's the hook in the first three seconds?”
Why it stopped the scroll
The opening line, the text on screen and the first cut, and why together they hold attention.
“Give me the transcript.”
Every word, plus what's on screen
The spoken words and the on-screen text, ready to quote, translate or reuse — no captions to copy by hand.
“Write my version of this script.”
The same structure, in your voice
Keep what made it work — the hook, the beats, the length — and swap in your topic, ready to film.
“What do these ten videos have in common?”
Patterns across a whole niche
Save a creator's last ten videos, or your own best ones, and ask across all of them: hooks, formats, lengths, what keeps working.
“Turn this into a carousel.”
From a video to a ready-to-post carousel
The video's ideas, laid out slide by slide with bespoke design and a caption, exported post-ready.

How to chat with a TikTok, Reel or YouTube video.
Nothing to download, trim or retype.
- 01
Copy the link
On TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn or X: Share → Copy link. On your phone or your computer.
- 02
Paste it into Rescroll
It watches the video: the transcript, plus frame-by-frame analysis of what's on screen for Reels, TikToks and Shorts. YouTube videos under 30 minutes can get the same on demand.
- 03
Ask anything
Summaries, hooks, transcripts, scripts in your voice. Every video stays in your library, so later you can ask across all of them at once.
Infinite visual board
An infinite canvas of
chats and context.
Drop posts, videos, and notes anywhere. Spin up as many chats as you want — and decide exactly what context each one can see.
Global Chat
Chat with your entire
library at once.
One chat that sees everything inside — every post, video, and podcast you've saved, every document, and every chat you've had. Ask across all of it at once and get answers that connect the dots no single tool ever could.

Can ChatGPT watch videos?
Why your chatbot can't open that link.
Chatbots read the page behind a link. On TikTok, Instagram and YouTube the page is mostly the video, so they get a caption and a title — and guess the rest. Here's what each one actually does, as of late 2026.
Can ChatGPT watch YouTube videos?
Not from a link. ChatGPT reads the page, not the video, so it can't hear what's said or see what's shown — ask it to summarize a URL and you often get a guess built from the title. The workaround is copying the transcript in yourself.
The long way, step by stepCan ChatGPT watch TikTok videos or Instagram Reels?
No. A TikTok or Reel link gets it the caption and hashtags at best, often nothing, and never the video. Uploading the saved file is hit or miss, because video isn't on OpenAI's list of supported file types.
How do I send a Reel or TikTok to ChatGPT?
Pasting the link doesn't work. The long way is saving the video, uploading the file and pasting the caption in yourself — or sharing your screen in voice mode, which saves nothing. The short way is pasting the link into Rescroll.
On iPhone and AndroidCan you upload a video to ChatGPT?
Sometimes. Video isn't on OpenAI's list of supported file types, so uploads are hit or miss, and a video link doesn't work at all.
What works on each deviceCan Claude watch YouTube videos?
No. Claude has no video input, and its web fetch reads text, so a YouTube link gets it the title and description at best — and sometimes a confident summary built from the title alone.
Can Gemini watch YouTube videos?
Yes, public ones — it's the one major chatbot where pasting a YouTube link works. It doesn't take TikTok or Instagram links, and Google doesn't say how much of what's on screen the Gemini app reads.
How do I get a transcript of an Instagram Reel?
Instagram won't let you copy a Reel's captions. Free transcript tools work from the link but only give you the words; Rescroll gives you the transcript plus the text and visuals on screen, and lets you ask about them.
How do I summarize a TikTok video with AI?
The AI has to hear it and see it. Paste the link into Rescroll and ask “summarize this” — or paste ten links from one creator and ask what they have in common.
The short way, for all of them: paste the link into Rescroll. It watches the video itself — the transcript and what's on screen — and keeps it in your library to ask about any time.
Questions
Chatting with social media, answered.
What does “chat with social media” mean?
It means asking an AI questions about a TikTok, Instagram Reel, YouTube video, LinkedIn post or X thread and getting answers from the content itself. Rescroll does it by watching the video when you paste the link — the transcript and what's on screen — so “summarize this” or “what's the hook?” is answered from the video, not guessed from the caption.
Which AI can watch Instagram Reels?
ChatGPT and Claude can't open a Reel from a link, and the Gemini app takes YouTube links but not Instagram ones. Rescroll watches Reels from the link: frame-by-frame visual analysis plus the audio transcript, saved to your library so you can come back to it.
Can AI watch a TikTok and tell me what happens in it?
Yes. Paste the TikTok link into Rescroll and it analyzes the video frame by frame — cuts, on-screen text, what's happening visually — alongside the transcript. Then ask anything: what happens, what the hook is, why it worked, how you'd make your version.
Can I chat with a YouTube video?
Yes. Paste the link and Rescroll reads the transcript; YouTube videos under 30 minutes can also get detailed visual analysis on demand. You can import up to 50 videos from a channel at once and ask across all of them.
Can I chat with LinkedIn posts, carousels and videos?
Yes. Paste the LinkedIn link: posts are read, document carousels are read slide by slide, and videos are watched. X threads are read as text.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Copy the link from the TikTok, Instagram or YouTube app with Share → Copy link, and paste it into Rescroll on your phone or your computer. Everything you add is in the same library on both.
Which AI models can I chat with?
Pick the one you want: GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro or Grok 4.3 — all in one subscription, all reading the same videos you saved.
What happens if the TikTok or Reel gets deleted?
Your copy stays. Saved videos are processed and stored in your library, so the transcript, the visual analysis and every chat you had with them survive the original coming down.
How much does it cost?
Pro is $29 a month, or $20 a month billed yearly; Ultimate adds four times the credits. Credits cover the AI processing for the videos you add and the questions you ask.
