Capability revision: 3dd3fc094bf1fcf5808910b3b895c6c11627801e38f9762e1ded037b3538ecb4 Ask Channel AI provides public YouTube channel discovery and research over saved public transcripts: question-based evidence, exact quotes, optional server-generated cited answers and archive links. Saved transcript coverage is not complete YouTube coverage. Search may start an import for an unindexed source identified by the user. Imports are subject to service budgets; larger imports require an account token, import permission and credits. Import status may refund eligible unused reserved credits after a failed paid import. Bulk transcript archives require OAuth account linking and Premium; public research tools do not require that download permission. Tool responses include capabilityRevision, which identifies the advertised server instructions and tool definitions.
