Checklist

• I made sure that there are no existing issues - open or closed - which I could contribute my information to.
• I have read the FAQ and my problem isn't listed.
• I'm aware that this is a request for NewPipe itself and that requests for adding a new service need to be made at NewPipeExtractor.
• I have taken the time to fill in all the required details. I understand that the feature request will be dismissed otherwise.
• This issue contains only one feature request.
• I have read and understood the contribution guidelines.

Feature description

The Logic:

Source: The system extracts the text from the video's caption/subtitle file (like .srt or .vtt).
Context: This text is cleaned and pre-loaded into the AI as context.
Interface: The user gets a chat window where they can ask questions about the video, ask for summaries, or translate content.

API Key Handling (Cost Solution): To avoid high server costs for the project maintainers, we can implement a "Bring Your Own Key" (BYOK) system.

• The user enters their own OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic API Key in the settings.
• The app uses this key to make the request.
• This makes the feature free for the platform and flexible for the user.

Why do you want this feature?

Sometimes videos are very long, and it is difficult to find specific information or get a quick summary without watching the whole thing. Users often want to ask specific questions about the video content (e.g., "What was said about X?" or "Summarize the introduction").

Additional information

if you reject this feature pls give me a reason for it.
similer feature is already implemented in a open source browser ' via '.

Sorry but can you type In English pls
I translated it I got these
"I don't know why it won't let me download it, it used to let me."

If the translation is right so what are referring to the application or the score file?

"Si la traducción es correcta, ¿a qué se refiere la aplicación o el archivo de puntuación? "

I think a majority of people that use open-source software don't want AI in said software. (Unless they can locally run the AI instead, if they do want to use AI that is).

Also, I feel it defeats the purpose of watching a video, and video creators may not want their videos being input into any AI...

I got that , thanks👍

You have a great point but there are some info that can be on the videos, we can save time by checking the content of the video "does it is the right video?"
Like that, or can take short notes on the explainations , or also get the head lines of NEWS videos

Also
Google already done that but the feature is for premium users

You are also right about open-source not liking it ,
But the implemention will not work until the api key granted we can turn off it by default too,
It was my idea for the user buyed expensive apis or have one can also using like here,

Sorry for the long comment😅

Sorry for the long comment😅

It's okay, don't worry :)

also get the head lines of NEWS videos

I get the point you make, but then wouldn't you just head to the description to read the headline of the news post? 😓 Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

we can save time by checking the content of the video "does it is the right video?"

True, there have been like 2 or 3 times where I have checked YouTube's summary thing it very rarely generates but I think it only gives a summary like a movie synopsis as it never seems to be an actual summary...

Either way, I suppose it should be up for everyone else to decide whether this should exist or not as a feature, but for now I'm voting for 👎🏻. 😅
