I watch a lot of tutorial/lecture videos as part of how I learn, and my current process is embarrassingly manual pause, alt-tab, type notes, go back, repeat.

I know YouTube has auto-transcripts, but raw transcripts are basically unreadable. I've tried a few summarizer extensions but the output never fits how Obsidian actually works no block structure, no `[[wikilinks]]`, just a blob of text I have to reformat anyway.

What I actually want:

- Grab the transcript from any YouTube video

- Choose the output format (summary, bullet points, key concepts, Q&A)

- Get it exported in proper Logseq markdown blocks, `[[links]]`, tags and everything

Bonus if it could detect concepts I already have pages for and auto-link them.

Does this exist and I'm just not finding it? Or is everyone else just copy-pasting like me?

Asking because I'm thinking about building this as a browser extension and want to know if it's actually a shared pain or just my workflow being weird.
