Changelog
Sumvid's dated release notes — what shipped and when, newest first. This page is updated as new features land.
Sumvid added dedicated pages for summarizing a YouTube video, getting a transcript, and summarizing podcasts and talks — answer-first pages for the questions people actually search.
The video history table gained search, a status filter, and real cursor-based pagination, making it easy to find a past summary in a long history.
Summaries now mark up [m:ss] timestamps as clickable links that jump straight to that moment in the YouTube video.
Job status (pending, running, complete) now streams live over Server-Sent Events instead of relying solely on polling, so a summary appears the moment it's ready.
Every summarized video now has a permanent public page — no sign-in required — with a real sitemap, last-modified dates, and internal links so pages are indexable and shareable.
Public summary pages gained a share/export menu and auto-generated Open Graph preview images for cleaner links when shared elsewhere.
An MCP server exposing summarize and transcript tools went live alongside a new Tools page documenting both the API and MCP access for developers and AI agents.
Summaries and transcripts can now be requested in languages other than English, with backup logic to handle failures gracefully.
Sumvid opened a pay-per-call HTTP API for developers and agents, paid via x402 USDC micropayments — no signup or API key needed.
Paid plans launched with Stripe Checkout, a customer billing portal, and a live usage meter, alongside the existing free tier.
