Workbookly

Workbookly is an exam preparation tool that turns YouTube videos into interactive worksheets and study guides. Workbookly transforms YouTube videos into interactive worksheets, flashcards, and study guides with timestamped questions, a Chrome sidebar for in-video practice, and PDF export. It targets self-learners, students, and educators who want active recall from video content.

Workbookly is a web tool that converts YouTube videos into structured practice materials, including interactive worksheets, study decks, and study guides. The core idea is simple: passive watching rarely leads to retention, so the platform extracts key concepts from a video's transcript and builds exercises around them. Users paste a YouTube link, and Workbookly generates a set of questions (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and matching) alongside summaries and key points. Every question is timestamped back to the exact moment in the video, making it easy to review or rewatch the relevant segment. The tool is aimed at self-learners, students, and educators who want to turn video content into active learning. It also offers a Chrome extension that places a worksheet sidebar next to the video, so practice happens without switching tabs. For those who want to take materials offline, worksheets export as print-ready PDFs, with an optional answer key. Workbookly goes beyond a single video by allowing users to connect public YouTube playlists. Once connected, the system checks for new videos hourly and automatically builds a worksheet for each new upload, creating a steady stream of practice material for regular channels. This automation is pitched at consistent learners who follow specific creators. The platform also includes auto-generated flashcards across four card types (definitions, cloze, misconception checks, and application scenarios) and a structured study guide with overviews, key concepts, examples, and important timestamps. Compared with general-purpose AI note takers that summarize content, Workbookly focuses on practice and recall. Its timestamp linking and PDF export give it a classroom-friendly edge. The free tier is limited to 2 videos and 2 worksheets per month, and the site does not detail paid plan pricing. For users who want a lightweight way to convert video lessons into study material, Workbookly offers a direct path, though it currently only works with YouTube as the video source.
