For Writers who use AI

AI answers you can check against your own sources

An AI note tool for people who write: ask a question across the videos and articles you saved, see which sources the answer used, and follow each claim back to its passage.

What MensorAI does now

Save as you read. Ask when you write.

MensorAI started as a YouTube note-taking tool for learners. Now it saves articles, passages and YouTube moments as you go, and when you sit down to write, you ask across all of them. Every answer links back to the passage it came from.

The Challenge for Writers who use AI

Sound familiar? Here’s what usually gets in the way.

AI summaries flatten a video into a paragraph and drop the part you needed
Chat answers sound sure of themselves but don’t show where a claim came from
Each video gets its own summary, so nothing connects across sources
You want help finding material, and you’d rather write the draft yourself
An AI can only work with the text a video actually has

Where MensorAI Fits

Here’s what it does for this kind of work today.

Ask across your whole library

Questions go to everything you saved by default: articles, videos, passages and your own notes. Type @ to narrow it to a few sources.

See where each claim came from

The answer lists the sources it used, and every claim links to its passage. For a video it opens at the moment when the captions have timestamps, and quotes are checked against the source text.

When your library has a gap

If your library doesn’t cover a question in a piece, Find on YouTube looks for videos on it. It adds them to the piece and your library, then asks again.

You do the writing

Keep the claims you’ll use in a piece and copy them into your own editor. MensorAI doesn’t draft for you, and answers depend on the captions and text a source has.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does MensorAI do?

Is MensorAI free?

Saving is free. Asking across your library and finding videos on YouTube need an active trial or a paid plan, and there’s a 7-day free trial of Pro features with a limited AI allowance. No credit card required. After that, plans are $9, $19 or $22 a month, and they differ only in AI requests per day.

What does it work on?

The browser extension works in Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc on desktop, and it opens as a popup. The web app runs in your browser and takes YouTube links. There’s no mobile app.

Does it work with every YouTube video?

Answers depend on the captions and text a source has. You can save a video without captions, but MensorAI will only have your own note to work with for it.
