What is video2ctx?
Turn videos into context for your agents
video2ctx gives AI agents the ability to actually understand videos. Paste any YouTube URL and the platform turns it into structured context — transcripts, storyboards, video frames and comments — that you can query through Agent Skills, a CLI, a hosted API or an npm package. It works alongside popular coding agents including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Cursor.
Beyond one-off inspection, video2ctx can answer a single question across up to 8 videos, with every answer cited down to the second. Monitors watch channels, topics or searches on an hourly-to-weekly schedule and alert you when new videos appear, and Projects let you collect key moments into a reusable knowledge base.
Pricing is credit-based freemium: the free Starter plan includes 5,000 credits granted once during launch week with no credit card required. Builder at $20/month adds 10,000 credits monthly for recurring production use, and a custom Scale plan covers higher-volume, company-level deployments.
