Ayuti vs Eightify
Ayuti vs Eightify
Eightify turns one YouTube video into eight key ideas in seconds — a fast way to decide whether a video is worth your time. Ayuti is built for after you’ve already decided: reading and questioning everything a channel has published.
In short
Eightify answers "should I watch this?" — a one-video, one-shot summary with timestamps, gone the moment you close the tab unless you paid to keep it. Ayuti answers "what has this channel actually said, across everything?" — it keeps a searchable transcript of every video and lets you ask questions against all of them at once.

What each one is actually built for
Eightify
Eightify is built for triage: paste or open a video, get eight bullet points and jump straight to the timestamp that matters, without watching the whole thing.
Ayuti
Ayuti is built for depth over time: every video from a channel you follow becomes a permanent, readable transcript, and Ask answers a question from your whole library — including videos you triaged with something else weeks ago.
Where Ayuti is different
Whole-library Ask
Ask a question and Ayuti answers from every video you’ve processed — not just the one you happen to be looking at — with the source cited inline.
Channels you follow, not links you paste
Add a channel once. Ayuti checks it and emails you a digest as new videos publish, so you don’t have to remember to open anything.
The Brief
Ayuti reads everything new across your library and writes a synthesis of what the sources actually agree — and disagree — on, cited back to the exact line of the transcript.
Nothing to keep updated
Ayuti is a web app, not a browser extension. There is nothing to install, and nothing that quietly breaks the next time YouTube changes its page.
Questions people ask
Is Ayuti cheaper than Eightify?
Ayuti’s free plan needs no subscription at all for one channel and up to ten videos a month; Eightify’s free tier is a 7-day trial and then a throttled weekly allowance. Compare Ayuti Pro against Eightify’s $9.99/month on the pricing page.
Does Ayuti give a quick one-video summary like Eightify?
Yes — every video gets a clean, section-by-section transcript with a summary. What Eightify doesn’t do is keep that transcript searchable alongside every other video from the same channel, or answer a question from all of them at once.
Can I use Ayuti and Eightify together?
Sure. Some people keep Eightify for deciding what to watch and Ayuti for the channels they’ve already committed to following closely.
