'Comment for the Link' Reels: How to Get the Tool Name and Steps Without Commenting

TL;DR: Paste a "comment LINK for the tutorial" reel into PageSum and you get the tool names, steps, settings and prompts the creator says in the video, written out, plus the full transcript. That's usually enough to find the tool yourself. PageSum can't get the link the creator sends by DM, and it can't read text that only appears on screen. Free plan: 1 video a day (3 on your first day).

You've seen the format: a 40-second reel about an AI tool that builds faceless YouTube channels, an AI video generator, a side hustle that "feels illegal", and at the end, "Comment GPT and I'll send you the link." The comment feeds the creator's engagement, and the DM often leads to a newsletter signup or an affiliate link.

Most of the time the information you want is already in the video: the name of the tool, what they typed into it, and the order of the steps. It just goes by too fast to catch.

How to Get the Details From the Reel

1. Copy the link. Tap Share → Copy link on the reel. Instagram reels, Facebook reels (facebook.com/share/r/…) and TikTok links all work.
2. Paste it into PageSum. Go to pagesum.app/dashboard and paste the link.
3. Pick Key Points. You get a list of what the creator covers: tools, steps, settings, numbers.
4. Check the transcript. It sits next to the summary, so you can copy a prompt word for word or spell-check a tool name.
5. Ask a follow-up. "What exact prompt did she use?" or "Which tool does he use for the voiceover?" The free plan includes 1 question a day.

Most of these reels have no captions, so PageSum transcribes the audio with AI first. Reels under 3 minutes are transcribed in full on the free plan.

What PageSum Can and Can't Get

If a tool's name is only shown on screen and never said, the summary won't contain it. In practice most creators say the name at least once, because they want people to remember it.

Why Not Just Comment?

Sometimes you should: if the creator built the tool or the guide, the DM is the real thing. But many of these reels lead to:

• an affiliate link to a tool you could sign up for directly,
• a newsletter or Telegram group signup before you get anything,
• a paid course that repeats what was said in the reel.

Knowing the tool name and steps first lets you decide whether the DM is worth it.

Tips

• Summarize a creator's series together. Many post "part 1–7". Summarize each part, then (on Pro) ask one question across all of them.
• Summarize in your language. Pick one of 39 output languages to read an English reel in Spanish, Arabic or Hindi.
• Save them. Every summary goes into your history, so the tool you saw last week is one search away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PageSum get the link a creator sends in DMs? No. The DM link is never part of the video. PageSum gives you what's said in the video (tool names, steps, prompts), which is usually enough to find the tool yourself.

Does it work with Instagram reels? Yes. Copy the reel's link and paste it. Instagram, Facebook and TikTok reels all work as long as the post is public.

Is it free? The free plan includes 3 summaries a day, 1 of them a video (3 videos on your first day). After that, Pro at $5/month gives you unlimited videos.

What if the reel has no speech, only music and on-screen text? Then there's nothing to transcribe and PageSum can't summarize it.
