Chrome extension uses AI to drag-and-drop YouTube videos into playlists

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer built Tortma, a Chrome extension that lets users drag YouTube video thumbnails onto a floating overlay to get AI-suggested playlist matches. The tool uses the YouTube Data API and an LLM backend to recommend the best playlist based on video metadata. It handles OAuth in Manifest V3 and resolves drag-event conflicts with YouTube's native handlers.

Meridian48 take
A neat productivity hack for heavy YouTube users, but the 20-video/day free tier and reliance on a third-party backend raise questions about scalability and privacy.
