Existing tools were built for
one video at a time

When your research involves 50 videos from a competitor's channel, single-video summarizers don't cut it.

⏱️

One video at a time

Eightify, NoteGPT, and similar tools process a single URL. Auditing a channel with 200 videos takes hours of manual work.

🧠

Summaries strip context

AI summaries miss subtle phrasing, specific claims, and keyword patterns that matter for SEO and fact-checking.

🗂️

No archive, no search

Every extraction is one-and-done. You can't search across last month's research or find which video said what.

🔌

No API, no workflow

Can't connect to n8n, Make, Notion, or your LLM pipeline. The output is a text blob that needs manual cleanup.

Built for research at scale

Whatever you're trying to learn from YouTube, Trove gives you the raw material.

SEO & Content

Competitor channel audits

Pull every transcript from a competitor's channel. Find their keyword patterns, topic coverage gaps, and what they're emphasizing this quarter — without watching a single video.

Content Repurposing

Turn videos into articles

Extract your own channel's transcripts and turn them into blog posts, newsletters, or social content. Clean Markdown output means you spend 10 minutes editing, not hours transcribing.

AI Builders

YouTube-powered RAG pipelines

Feed Trove's JSON output directly into your LLM pipeline. Build chatbots trained on a channel's expertise, or run semantic search across hundreds of video transcripts. API access on Pro.

Research

Topic deep-dives

Extract every video on a topic from multiple channels. Search across all of them to find consensus, contradiction, and gaps. Your personal research archive grows over time.

Journalism

Sourcing & fact-checking

Pull verbatim quotes with timestamps. Cite exactly what was said and when. Search across press conferences, interviews, and official statements without rewatching hours of footage.

Education

Course & curriculum research

Extract transcripts from educational channels to map curriculum gaps, identify the best explanations of a concept, or build study guides from lecture series.

Common questions

Trove works on any publicly accessible YouTube video. Private videos, age-restricted content requiring sign-in, and region-locked videos are not accessible — this is a YouTube policy limitation, not a Trove limitation.
Processing time depends on channel size. A 50-video channel typically takes 3–8 minutes. A 300-video channel may take 20–40 minutes. Trove processes multiple videos in parallel and uses a smart cache — any videos you've extracted before are served instantly at no cost.
Trove automatically falls back to Whisper AI transcription. Whisper downloads the audio and transcribes it locally — no third-party AI service is used for your content. Accuracy is excellent for clear speech; technical jargon and strong accents may have minor errors.
Every transcript you extract is stored for 90 days. You can search across all of them using the /search endpoint or the dashboard. Search is full-text — it finds the exact phrase wherever it appears across any video in your archive. Re-extracting a cached video is instant and free.
Yes — the Pro plan includes full REST API access. You can trigger extractions, search your archive, and fetch transcripts programmatically. The API is compatible with n8n, Make, Zapier webhooks, and any LLM pipeline that accepts JSON. Documentation is available at /docs once you have a Pro account.
Yes. Cancel from your account settings at any time. Your subscription stays active until the end of your billing period — no prorating, no penalties, no questions asked.
