Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about pageIQ.
Common questions about AI summarization, privacy, YouTube videos, and getting started.
What is pageIQ and how does it work?
pageIQ is an AI reading assistant and Chrome browser extension created by Maskia. When you open an article, online PDF, or YouTube video, pageIQ reads the content directly in your browser tab to generate a clear, structured summary, answer grounded questions, or play natural voice audio.
How does pageIQ summarize YouTube videos?
On any YouTube video page, pageIQ analyzes the video transcript in real time. It extracts key takeaways, structured sections, and timestamps so you can absorb the substance of long tutorials, lectures, podcasts, or documentaries in seconds without watching the whole video.
Can pageIQ summarize online PDFs and research papers?
Yes. When viewing research papers, whitepapers, or long reports in Chrome, pageIQ breaks down dense documents into digestible takeaways. You can ask specific questions about data points, methodologies, or conclusions grounded strictly in the PDF text.
Do I need a ChatGPT account or OpenAI API key?
No. pageIQ works right out of the box. You do not need to bring an OpenAI API key, configure models, or maintain a ChatGPT Plus subscription. Everything is handled securely by Maskia.
Is pageIQ free to use?
Yes, pageIQ offers a generous free tier with 20 summaries every month forever, 3 chat questions per summary, and audio playback. If you need unlimited summaries and longer document support, you can upgrade anytime to pageIQ Pro.
How does pageIQ protect my privacy and data?
pageIQ does not sell your data, run advertising, or track your personal browsing history. Content is only processed when you deliberately request a summary, and your conversations are not permanently stored on our servers.
