Use a local agent to sort playlists and clean videos

A local LLM agent can keep music playlists tidy and process downloaded videos by removing ads and sponsored sections.

What they did
They ran a self-hosted agent on a consumer GPU to handle playlist work and a Spotify-like music setup on their own machine. For video, the agent pulled files from YouTube, removed ad breaks and paid segments, then highlighted the ones most aligned with their interests. The setup details were not described further.
How it went
They said they no longer use YouTube itself. No counts, model names, or tool list were given.
Tips
If you try this, expect to choose your own model, hardware, and download/editing tools. Build in a check before anything destructive, like deleting files or changing playlists permanently.
