Overview

Gotcha is a Chrome extension for language learners. Before each
foreign-language YouTube video plays, Gotcha pulls the captions,
sends them to an AI model, and produces a one-page learner briefing
tailored to the video:

• A short summary of what the video is about
• Useful phrases with translations and usage notes
• Vocabulary highlights, filtered against words you've already
marked as "known"
• Cultural and grammar notes when the video calls for them
• A CEFR-style difficulty badge (A1 / A2 / B1 / B2 / C1)

This means you walk into each video already knowing the hard parts,
instead of getting lost five seconds in.

Languages
We're starting with German — Gotcha activates on YouTube videos
that have German captions. More languages are on the roadmap; the
architecture is multi-language-ready and we'll roll them out as we
validate the briefing quality for each.

How it works
1. Open any YouTube video with captions in a supported language.
2. Gotcha automatically pauses the video and shows the briefing as
an overlay.
3. Click "Start video" when you're ready — the briefing stays
accessible while you watch.
4. Mark phrases or words as "I know this" so future briefings skip
them.

Plans
• Free — 3 briefings per day, up to 30-minute videos.
• Pro (€5/mo or €50/yr) — 15 briefings per day, up to 90-minute
videos.
• Pro+ (€15/mo or €160/yr) — 60 briefings per day, up to 4-hour
videos.

Plus an anonymous mode that lets you try one briefing without
signing in.

Privacy
We collect: your Google email when you sign in, your Stripe
customer record when you subscribe, and the video IDs of briefings
you request. We don't sell or share data, don't use tracking
cookies, and you can request deletion at support@getgotcha.app.
