What’s the origin of the idea for your product?
The idea for Skimming AI was born out of a real-life struggle. I watched my younger brother spend hours scrolling through reels, watching endless videos, and consuming social media—often without retaining much useful information. And he wasn’t alone. We all spend too much time on screens, whether it's watching YouTube, reading lengthy reports, or listening to long meetings just to extract key insights.
That’s when it hit me—what if we could cut through the noise and get straight to the valuable information without spending hours consuming content?
With this mission in mind, Skimming AI was created—a tool that:
✅ Summarizes videos, documents, audio, and images in seconds.
✅ Lets you ask specific questions and get direct answers, so you don’t waste time searching.
✅ Helps professionals, students, and businesses focus on what matters, instead of drowning in unnecessary information.
Our goal is simple: Reduce screen time while maximizing productivity. Instead of passively consuming endless content, Skimming AI helps you extract knowledge instantly, allowing you to spend less time on screens and more time living. 🚀
