Unfurl
Any YouTube video becomes a structured guide.
About Unfurl
Unfurl is a web app that converts YouTube videos into structured, actionable guides. Users paste a video link, the service transcribes the content, creates chaptered guides with timestamps, provides a chat tutor that answers questions from the transcript, generates a SMART action plan, and produces a hand‑illustrated infographic. The workflow lets learners, educators, and teams move from passive watching to concrete steps without manual note‑taking. Guides are shareable via unlisted links and can be exported as PDFs, PPTX decks, or PNG infographics. A 7‑day free trial precedes pay‑as‑you‑go credits starting at $4.99.
