Integrate AI to Summarize StackOverflow Search Results

[sakina1303]

Instead of just opening StackOverflow in a browser, show summarized answers or key solution steps directly inside the StackMate webview using an AI API.

Tasks:

• Add an input bar for StackOverflow query.
• Fetch top StackOverflow results (via API or scraping).
• Use an AI API (OpenAI / Gemini / Hugging Face) to summarize.
• Display summarized answers in a scrollable UI panel.
• Add a “Go to full answer” link.

@sakina1303, I would love to contribute to this issue as part of hacktober

From what I see in the current functionality:

• The search bar already fetches matching question titles.
• Clicking a question shows all answers (accepted + others) in the panel.

To clarify the scope of this issue, my plan would be:

• Summarize the accepted answer using an AI API (Gemini/OpenAI/Hugging Face).
• Display the summarized text at the top of the answers panel, with a “Go to full answer” link to keep full answers accessible.

Could you clarify on this? Would love to be assigned. Thanks!

@sakina1303, updates form my side
As per my description of solution features,
It give auto generated summary for the accepted answers only in the post of stackoverflow.

However for post without accepted answers there is no summary generated

Clarification Needed
Which approach would you prefer?

1. Leave it as is: Only summarize accepted answers (no summary otherwise).

2. Add a "Generate Summary" button : Allows the user to summarize any currently visible answer manually.

3. Auto-summarize the highest-voted answer: when there is no accepted answer.

Please let me know which option you'd like 👍
Once confirmed, I will finalize the UI & push the PR.
