YouTube sponsor skipper

Just trying out Jev, I made a Chrome extension that:

Overview & Result

Tony Dinh (@tdinh_me) developed an open-source Chrome extension that automatically identifies and skips sponsored promotional segments in YouTube videos in real time. Traditional LLMs take 2 to 4 seconds to parse transcripts, making real-time playback synchronization impossible. By leveraging Jev's sub-50ms bounded choice, the extension evaluates 5-second rolling audio segments on the fly, immediately seeking past sponsorships at an operating cost of roughly ~$0.005 per video.

How Jev fits in the loop

  1. Capture the active YouTube tab's audio stream or subtitle transcript via Chrome Extension background APIs.
  2. Chunk the spoken dialogue into rolling 5-second timestamped text buffers as the video plays.
  3. Invoke Jev Noul / Choice (<45ms) to determine if the active window contains sponsor outreach patterns.
  4. When a sponsor segment is confirmed, immediately execute a HTML5 video seek (video.currentTime = skipTarget) to resume normal playback.

How to reproduce

  1. Inspect author post and reproduction notes.
  2. Deploy agent loop and bind Jev decision endpoints.
  3. Run test inputs and observe latency and accuracy.

Why this build matters

Proves that lightweight, low-latency models can bring real-time semantic intelligence directly into consumer browser extensions without cloud lag or high API expenses.

Limitations

  • Community observed build; metrics are author-reported.
  • Requires third-party dependencies as described in source.
