For researchersResearch videos. Capture quotes. Build sources.
Pip Cue turns YouTube interviews, conference talks, and long-form videos into searchable, citable, AI-queryable sources. Read the transcript, copy the quote, bookmark the timestamp, hand the video to NotebookLM.
The four-step research workflow
Skim, capture, bookmark, query.
Read the full transcript first
Open the transcript sidebar to skim every line of a long interview before deciding what to listen to. Search a phrase to jump to it.
Copy the quote with the timestamp
Hit copy on the current line — the text lands in your clipboard. Paste it into your notes with the timestamp you noted from the bookmark.
Build a NotebookLM corpus
Save a series of related interviews or talks, then send each one to the same NotebookLM notebook. Query across the corpus to find patterns.
Bookmark a quote for the citation
Save the video at the exact second the source said the thing. The dashboard keeps URL, title, thumbnail, and timestamp for your bibliography.
Build a notebook around your research question.
Save five interviews on the same topic. Send each to the same NotebookLM notebook with one click. Now you can ask across the corpus: “Where do these sources disagree?” “Which one mentions X?” The YouTube URL — with your saved timestamp — is auto-pasted into NotebookLM's Add-source dialog.

PiP Cue never uploads transcripts. Bookmarks live locally by default. The NotebookLM hand-off sends only the URL you already saved — no Pip Cue data, no profile. Read the full privacy policy.
