Introduction

This video reviews cofyt.app, a new AI tool similar to Perplexity. The reviewer tests its ability to interact with a YouTube video, assessing its accuracy and functionality compared to Perplexity. The main purpose is to demonstrate the tool's capabilities and provide feedback.

Key Takeaways

• cofyt.app allows users to chat with a YouTube video by inputting its URL. The AI processes the video's content (including the transcript) to answer questions.
• The tool's performance is comparable to Perplexity in terms of accuracy, correctly answering questions based on the video's content. The presenter notes that the output from cofyt.app is presented in an easily digestible bullet point format.
• cofyt.app can access and process information beyond the title and description, including the full video transcript, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the video's content.
• The tool is still under development, lacking some features of Perplexity and having some non-functional UI elements. The developer is actively seeking feedback via Reddit.
• The reviewer recommends cofyt.app as a quick way to summarize YouTube videos or answer specific questions based on video content.

My previous response included "Cloud GPT" as an example within a question based on the reviewer's concluding statement in the transcript. The reviewer states they would like to know what AI model cofyt.app uses and mentions "Cloud GPT or maybe sonar" as possibilities. I used "Cloud GPT" as a representative example of the kind of AI model the reviewer was inquiring about, not as a fact stated in the video itself. My intention was to present a question directly relevant to a point raised in the transcript even though the specific model wasn't explicitly named. I should have been clearer in my phrasing to avoid the implication that "Cloud GPT" was directly mentioned.

The reviewer notes several limitations of cofyt.app compared to Perplexity:

• Fewer features: cofyt.app lacks features such as a spaces library and a menu to select AI models. (1:30-1:42)
• Non-functional UI elements: Several elements in the cofyt.app interface, such as the "collection" and "share" buttons, are non-functional. (8:06-8:16)
• Lack of follow-up question links: Unlike Perplexity, cofyt.app doesn't provide clickable follow-up questions. (3:50-3:58)

While both tools provide correct answers, the reviewer implies Perplexity might be more robust in its features and interface.

The overall sentiment of the review is positive, leaning towards enthusiastic. While acknowledging some limitations due to the tool being in early development, the reviewer is clearly impressed by cofyt.app's ability to accurately interact with YouTube video content, finding it a useful and innovative tool. The reviewer enthusiastically recommends it to viewers and expresses excitement about its future development.

The reviewer states that cofyt.app is similar to Perplexity in design, making it familiar to users of that platform. (7:57-8:04) However, he also notes that cofyt.app lacks several features present in Perplexity, such as a spaces library and the ability to select an AI model. (1:30-1:42) He points out that unlike Perplexity, cofyt.app doesn't offer clickable follow-up questions. (3:50-3:58) Finally, he highlights that several UI elements in cofyt.app don't function, unlike in Perplexity. (8:06-8:16) Despite these limitations, he finds cofyt.app's ability to process video transcripts and answer questions comparable to Perplexity's accuracy. (5:03-5:15).
