The Problem: Manual Quote Extraction is Painful
You're writing an article and need an exact quote from a 2-hour interview. The subject said something perfect for your piece — but you need the exact wording, and you need to cite the timestamp for credibility.
The old way: scrub through the video, pause, rewind, type out what you hear, double-check the wording, note the timestamp. For one quote. Now multiply that by every quote you need.
Even with a transcript, you're searching through walls of text, then cross-referencing with the video to get accurate timestamps.
For journalists and content creators, this isn't occasional busywork — it's hours of your week, every week.
The Solution: Ask for Quotes, Get Verified Results
Ask Your Video lets you request specific quotes like you'd ask a research assistant.
"What did Elon Musk say about AI regulation?" — and you get the quote, word-for-word, with the exact timestamp where it appears. Jump to that timestamp in YouTube to verify.

Step-by-Step Guide
1. Paste the interview URL
Copy the YouTube URL of the interview, documentary, or any video you need quotes from. Works with news interviews, podcasts, press conferences, and more.
2. Ask for the quote you need
Be specific about what you're looking for: "What did Jensen Huang say about the AI bubble?" works better than "AI opinions."
3. Get the exact quote with timestamp
Receive the verbatim quote along with the timestamp. The AI provides context around the quote so you understand the full meaning.
4. Ask follow-up questions
Extract multiple quotes from one interview. Ask about different topics like "What did he say about the AI arms race with China?" to get more timestamped quotes.
Real Example: Extracting a Quote from a Tech Interview
“What did Jensen Huang say about the AI bubble?”
Jensen Huang concedes there is "always some irrationality somewhere in the stock market" (00:57) but argues the investments in AI are actually "very modest" (01:35) relative to the massive opportunity of generative and agentic AI.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust the quotes are accurate?
The AI extracts quotes directly from video content analysis. However, we always recommend clicking the timestamp to verify the exact wording in the original video, especially for published work. The timestamp makes verification instant.
Does it show context around the quote?
Yes. Along with the quote, you get surrounding context so you understand what prompted the statement and what followed. This helps ensure quotes aren't taken out of context.
Can I extract multiple quotes from one video?
Yes. Once a video is analyzed, you can ask for as many quotes as you need. Each question can target a different topic or moment in the video, all included in your analysis.
