Usage

The extension registers a youtube_transcript tool that pi agents can call automatically when you ask about a YouTube video's content.

Example prompt:

Use youtube_transcript to summarize https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Supported URL formats

  • https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID

Language

By default the tool returns the first available transcript. To request a specific language, the agent will pass a lang parameter (ISO language code like "en", "es", "fr").
