Yes, that's because it is a leak - just like most other cloud services by the way. Step by step, piece by piece, bit by bit the concept of 'privacy' has been hollowed out by pushing 'cloud' services (where 'cloud' stands for "someone else's computer") into just about all aspects of personal data-manipulation. This was one of the tenets of the 'Great Reset' push by the World Economic Forum which sought to capitalise (…

These are noble values! But how to build a tool for easy transcription and summarization then?

At this moment, not just yet. Once either the models have come down in size or hardware has caught up with the demands so they can be run locally it will become feasible to offer such functionality in a way which does not sacrifice privacy to convenience.

No explanation of how it works or how to get started. Doesn't seem to do anything. Typical problem. Developers often fail to answer the most basic question: What is this and how do I use it?

You watch a YouTube video or participate in a video call etc. where humans are talking. You click on the extension. You select a language. You click start. Every 30 seconds the audio gets transcribed and translated into short bullet points. The transcripts are saved. Finally, you can ask the transcript any question or transform it into a poem by Arnold Schwarzenegger - one of the great Austrian thinkers.

What about an Austrian born painter?

Tried it on a youtube video and it doesn't work.

Did you click start and nothing happened? The service is up and running..

I clicked on the extension icon and it didn't work. I don't see anything for it on any youtube video page either.

Can't reproduce it right now, but I'll look into it. Normally, it would show a button to sign in with google.

I was using it on Edge, which usually supports chrome extensions directly. So maybe that's why.

Tried it on chrome. Could sign in, but doesn't work after that nor does it maintain my login session. Each time I click on the extension it prompts me to sign in with google.
