The app is SkipVid.ai, which allows you to specify a YouTube video, ask anything about it, and get a response from ChatGPT 🤖
The creator posted about the project on Reddit…
I’ve tried and failed a few times building simple apps.
Every time I hired developers from overseas, and they would promise they could easily build it, but every time it would be unworkable, even as an MVP.
So when ChatGPT API was released, I wanted to see if I could make an app that is a TLDR for Youtube videos, since youtubers love to ramble on just so they can run more ads.
He goes on to detail the prompts he used in ChatGPT to create 95% of the app 💪
Apparently the other 5% was “just setting up login auth and stripe payment links.”
There’s some skepticism in the comments about ChatGPT actually doing 95% of the work, but there’s no doubt it was a big help.
You can use the app for free on videos up to 21 minutes long, then there’s a premium version for $5/month.
💬 The creator posted in the comments on Reddit…
Theres definitely demand. Payments are steady coming in daily and starting to compound.
Also worth noting the free marketing he got for the app via that Reddit post (and others), but apparently the app had already been used 100,000 times before any marketing efforts.
Do you have an idea for an app?
Play around with ChatGPT and see if it can help you build the thing 🧑🏼💻
