Description
Feature Request: AI-Powered Transcript Processing
Description
Add advanced transcript/caption features: search within captions (like Ctrl+F), download transcripts in multiple formats, and optionally process with AI (summarize, translate).
Why
Multiple tools exist for this:
- YouTube Transcript Processor (GreasyFork) — Gemini/OpenRouter/Mistral integration
- YouTube Captions Search (originally #914 by chirag127)
- YCS (YouTube Comment Search) — search through all comments
Preferred behavior
- Search within captions (Ctrl+F for captions) — #914 scope
- Download transcripts as TXT/SRT/JSON
- Option: send transcript to AI for summarization
- Timestamp-clickable search results
- Comment search (search ALL comments on a video)

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first split the request into caption search, transcript downloads, AI processing, and comment search before locating their existing extension paths. Done would require an agreed scope and implementation covering the selected features, including the requested formats and timestamp-clickable results where applicable.
